IV Sedation

IV sedation is a powerful option for patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during dental treatments. Administered directly into the bloodstream, this method offers deep relaxation and often induces a state of conscious sedation, meaning patients remain awake but feel completely at ease throughout the procedure.

At Padstow Dental, IV sedation is particularly beneficial for complex or lengthy treatments, such as extractions or dental implants. It allows patients to feel calm, comfortable, and virtually unaware of the procedure, making dental visits a more positive experience.

One of the significant advantages of IV sedation is its precise control; our trained dental professionals can adjust the sedation level as needed to maintain optimal patient comfort.

Additionally, the effects wear off quickly after the procedure, allowing patients to return home safely with minimal side effects.

By choosing IV sedation, patients can prioritize their dental health without worry, ensuring treatments are both effective and as stress-free as possible.
