Intravenous Sedation

​

Intravenous sedation is a well established technique which has been used in Dentistry for many years. You receive the sedative drug through a vein, so it goes to work more quickly. This method allows the anaesthetist to continually adjust the level of sedation.

​

Sedation is usually used for minor oral surgery procedures such as wisdom tooth surgery, dental implant surgery and All on 4 surgery. Sometimes nervous patients tend to ask for this when they are undergoing more complex dental treatment. IV Sedation is suitable for most patients.

​

Intravenous sedation is done at our clinic by specialist anaesthetists, who support our nervous or anxious patients. This is a routine service at The Braces & Dental Implant Centre, so we are all well trained to handle you for your comfort and well being.

​

You will be asked to fast 6 hours prior to surgery and arrive half an hour before your appointment.
