At Triad Dentistry, Dr. Steven Hatcher is a dedicated dental professional who wants to ensure patients have positive, comfortable experiences at his dental office. When Greensboro, North Carolina, area patients are about to undergo oral surgery procedures, such as dental implant surgery, they may have questions about their comfort during their procedures. Fortunately, our team is excited to offer IV sedation for oral surgeries.
Our providers describe IV sedation for oral surgery as a form of sedation to alleviate anxiety and discomfort. This means that patients will be in a state of deep relaxation as the medication is delivered intravenously, meaning through a vein. This allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream and more precise control over the level of sedation.
IV sedation is best for those who experience either anxiety or fear when it comes to undergoing oral surgery. It effectively provides a deeper level of sedation compared to other methods, such as nitrous oxide gas, and is also more customizable in terms of dosage. This allows for a more comfortable and stress-free patient experience during procedures.
During an oral surgery procedure with IV sedation, patients can expect to feel relaxed and calm. They may also feel drowsy or fall asleep during the procedure. Our dental team closely monitors vital signs and ensures that our patients are comfortable throughout the entire process from start to finish. After the procedure, some patients might experience minor side effects, including headaches or nausea, but these should subside quickly and resolve independently with no necessary interventions.
Are you in need of dental implant surgery or other procedures to improve your oral health? Are you worried about pain and discomfort? If you are ready to discuss your needs for sedation, we invite you to contact Dr. Steven Hatcher and his team at Triad Dentistry to discuss the benefits of IV sedation for upcoming surgical procedures.
