I.V. SEDATION
NOW AVAILABLE!
For patients who suffer with dental anxiety or phobia or those having more extensive procedures, considering sedation can be a game-changer.
Before sedation begins the patient would have gone through the initial examination and all concerns would be addressed such as treatment options and alternative solutions.
-
IV sedation can be life changing because it will make it possible for the patient to acquire the much needed care.
-
Traumatic past experiences are the number one reason why patients neglect their condition till the pain is so much that it causes them to seek help.
How does it work ?
Once the anesthesiologist goes over the medical history and determines that you are ready for the procedure IV sedation can be administered and the effects are almost instantaneous. Of course it is recommended to have an empty stomach and no food consumption the day of surgery. Most procedures are 2-4 hours and once the procedure is complete the patient will come out of anesthesia and will be fully aware and can walk. Although we will provide a wheelchair companionship to your vehicle most patients have no difficulties walking. Sometimes when the surgical procedure is completed lab procedures will start after a small break. For that part the patient is fully awake and responsive and oftentimes their help is required in small tasks such as opening and smiling and performing the motion of chewing.

SURGERY DAY
After completed, we will start the work on the conversion process while you rest in our office. This involves working on the premade temporary teeth so that we can connect them to the implants that were placed early in the day.
When sedation is provided the patient must have a companion that would bring them and take them back home or to their hotel for their recovery and rest.
One person must be with the patient for one day after the treatment has been rendered.
Sometimes patients may be slightly weak or they may get slightly light headed after the care is rendered and that is the reason we need our patients to have a caregiver for one day.
Most patients do not feel much discomfort the next day and can go about their lives as they did before with some food modifications. When the treatment is completed the day of surgery the patient will wake up and while they may not remember anything about the surgery they are able to get up and walk and go about their lives.
