Recommended for moderate to severe anxiety. Medication is given right into your blood stream and it works quickly and effectively. You will be in a "twilight sleep" or state of heavy relaxation. It is probable that you will not remember your procedure.
IV sedation makes long or complex procedures seem shorter, allowing you to have all of your work done in a single visit in many cases. As an added precaution a local anesthetic will be given. The benefit of IV sedation is that the level of medication can be adjusted during your procedure to ensure maximum comfort. Your heart rate and breathing are monitored very closely while you are being medicated because your safety is our number one concern.
Don't wait any longer to have necessary dental work performed because you are nervous. Ask Dr Corsello about IV sedation to see if it is right for you.
