IV Sedation at Abbey Mead Dental & Implant Clinic 

Dental anxiety is a common issue that prevents many from seeking necessary dental care. At Abbey Mead Dental & Implant Clinic, we understand these concerns and are excited to offer IV sedation as a solution, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable experience.

Understanding IV Sedation

It involves administering sedative drugs intravenously, inducing a state of deep relaxation while still allowing you to remain conscious. This method is particularly beneficial for patients who experience significant anxiety or require extensive dental work in a single session. Unlike general anaesthesia, IV sedation keeps you awake but relaxed, and it’s often described as feeling like being in a “twilight” state.

Administered by Expert Anaesthetists

Our IV sedation services are provided by a Consultant Anaesthetists. This ensures that the sedation is administered safely and effectively, with constant monitoring of vital signs throughout the procedure. The presence of a highly qualified anaesthetist not only ensures safety but also tailors the sedation level to meet individual needs, providing a personalized and secure experience.

Benefits of IV Sedation

  1. Anxiety Reduction: IV sedation significantly reduces anxiety, making it easier for patients to undergo dental procedures without fear or stress. This is particularly helpful for those with dental phobias or negative past experiences.
  2. Pain Management: The sedative effects also help minimize discomfort, as patients are less aware of the sensations during the procedure. This can be particularly beneficial for complex or lengthy dental treatments.
  3. Efficiency: IV sedation allows multiple or more invasive procedures to be completed in one visit, reducing the number of appointments needed. This is ideal for patients who need extensive work but have limited time or who wish to minimize the number of visits.
  4. Quick Recovery: Unlike general anaesthesia, the recovery time with IV sedation is relatively short. Patients typically return to their normal activities soon after their visit, with most effects wearing off quickly.
