IV Sedation Montville, NJ | Krause Comprehensive Dental Care

What is IV Sedation?

IV sedation is a deeper sedation that is sometimes preferred for oral surgeries and more complicated dental procedures. It involves placing a small IV into the arm and delivering a safe sedative into your system. You will slowly enter a sleep-like state, making the procedure more comfortable and easier for you. IV sedation is safe for most patients, and can be beneficial if you'll be undergoing more invasive treatments. We work with top dental anesthesiologists to deliver IV sedation in the safest manner possible.

Why is IV Sedation needed?

There are a few reasons for why IV sedation might be the best option for you. You might be undergoing oral surgery or an incredibly complicated procedure and would rather be asleep for it. Likewise, we might recommend this sedative if you are unable to sit still or relax for treatment. IV sedation can take the trouble out of sitting for treatment, and you'll find it's easier for both our staff and yourself.

Who is a candidate for IV Sedation?

Most patients coming into our office are good candidates for IV sedation. We will review all health and medical history prior to suggesting any type of sedative. If you are unable to undergo sedation, it is important that you tell us this during your appointment. IV sedation can be used on both children and adult patients who may need it.

What happens during IV Sedation?

The process begins by sitting you comfortably in one of our operatories. Our dental anesthesiologist will then place a small IV into your arm and deliver a safe, effective sedative into your system. Within about 15 minutes, you will begin to enter a sleep-like state. We then perform the planned procedure while you are completely relaxed. The IV is removed from your arm and you are monitored by the anesthesiologist until we are confident the sedatives have worn off. You are given enough time to wake up so that you can leave the office. It is important that you have a friend or relative there who can bring you home from the appointment when needed.
