IV Sedation Norcross, GA
IV (intravenous) sedation offers a comfortable and anxiety-free dental experience, making it an excellent option for patients who feel nervous about dental care or need extensive treatments. With IV sedation, you will remain conscious, able to respond to instructions from our team, but deeply relaxed throughout the procedure. Many patients describe the experience as feeling like they drifted in and out of sleep, with little memory of the details afterward.
Before your appointment, you will meet with Dr. Daniel Vincent or Dr. Denise Ceron to review your medical history, discuss your dental needs and determine if IV sedation is the best solution for you. This one-on-one consultation ensures your treatment is customized to your health and comfort. IV sedation works by delivering sedative medication directly into your bloodstream, producing a calming effect almost immediately. The dosage can be adjusted throughout the procedure to maintain your comfort from start to finish.
IV sedation is highly safe, and our team will closely monitor your vitals throughout your visit to ensure everything runs smoothly. While most patients feel as though the treatment time flies by, they can still follow simple directions if necessary, helping us provide the best care possible.
After your procedure, you will likely feel drowsy, so it is essential to have someone with you to drive you home. We also recommend that someone stay with you for a few hours once you return home until the effects of the sedation wear off completely. With proper rest, most patients feel back to normal the next day.
If you have been postponing dental care because of anxiety or fear, IV sedation may be the key to a more comfortable dental experience.
