Dental anxiety affects thousands of people, and for some it can become so overwhelming that they avoid treatment for years. IV conscious sedation allows you to remain awake while feeling deeply relaxed throughout your appointment. Many patients remember very little of their treatment afterwards, making it an excellent option for nervous patients, those with a strong gag reflex or anyone undergoing longer procedures. One of the biggest advantages of sedation is that we can often complete significantly more treatment in a single appointment. Rather than spreading treatment over multiple visits, many patients find they're able to have several procedures completed comfortably during one sedation session, saving both time and additional appointments. Please note: we only provide IV conscious sedation for patients aged 18 years and over.
