Can I use IV sedation for dental implant and oral surgery?
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.
What is IV sedation?
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.
Why choose IV 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.
