IV Sedation Dentistry

For patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures, Redwater Dental Clinic offers IV sedation. Administered intravenously, this sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation, allowing you to undergo dental treatment comfortably with little to no memory of the procedure.

Benefits of IV Sedation

• Deep relaxation for maximum comfort
• Ideal for severe dental anxiety or phobia
• Allows multiple procedures in one visit
• Fast-acting — works within minutes
• Sedation level can be adjusted throughout the procedure
• Most patients have no memory of the treatment

The IV Sedation Process

Here is what to expect:

1. Pre-treatment assessment and medical history review
2. IV line placed for sedation medication delivery
3. Continuous monitoring of vitals throughout the procedure
4. Dental treatment performed while you are deeply relaxed
5. Recovery in our office before being driven home

IV sedation is performed by our qualified team with continuous monitoring of your vital signs. You will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for a few hours after the procedure.
