IV Sedation (Twilight Sleep)
With safe and proven techniques, patients receive sedative medications, which work rapidly to create a relaxed state that is maintained and monitored throughout treatment. Beyond creating an optimal environment for you, dentistry with IV Sedation also allows us to complete multiple and complex procedures in one appointment.An IV is started allowing all medications for relaxation to enter your body. You will not remember or be aware of any procedures or especially "getting numb." You breathe on your own. This is not like the hospital anesthesia where a machine breathes for you.
