IV Sedation

Also known as “twilight sleep,” IV sedation is a good option for patients who require a high level of sedation to receive treatment. Dr. Jonathan Odinsky may recommend this type of sedation to help you relax completely while you receive needed treatment.

IV (intravenous) sedation is a conscious sedation option. That means you will remain somewhat aware of your surroundings and be able to follow any instructions from your dental team. Before you can receive IV sedation, you must meet with your dentist to discuss your medical history, dental needs, and any other relevant factors to determine if it is a good fit for you.

IV sedation delivers medication directly into your bloodstream, helping you relax quickly and feel comfortable throughout your dental appointment. It is a very safe form of sedation. During your treatment, we will monitor you closely. You will likely feel as though you slept through the treatment, and you won’t remember many details of the visit following your appointment.

With this type of sedation, you must have a friend or family member with you to drive you home after your appointment. We also recommend that someone stay with you for several hours after arriving home to monitor you until the medication has worn off.

Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable and relaxing dental experience. IV sedation is an effective way for you to be able to relax so our dental team can provide you with the best care possible.
