Sedation Dentistry: Is It Right for You?

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

IV sedation 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 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.
