IV sedation in dentistry is a technique where sedative medications are administered directly into the bloodstream through a vein. At London Dental Specialists, this procedure helps patients achieve deep relaxation during dental treatments. The sedatives work quickly to induce a state of calm while maintaining consciousness, though many patients have little to no memory of the procedure afterwards. This makes IV sedation particularly beneficial for patients with dental anxiety, those undergoing complex procedures, or individuals who require multiple treatments in a single session.
No, IV sedation is not the same as being put to sleep or general anaesthesia. During IV sedation at London Dental Specialists, you remain conscious and can respond to verbal commands, though you'll feel deeply relaxed and drowsy. Many patients describe the experience as being in a dream-like state and often have little to no memory of the procedure afterwards. Unlike general anaesthesia, you maintain your protective reflexes and can breathe independently without assistance, making it a safer option for dental procedures.
IV sedation helps with dental anxiety by directly introducing anti-anxiety medications into your bloodstream, producing rapid and profound relaxation. At London Dental Specialists, this technique effectively:
At London Dental Specialists, IV sedation can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, particularly those that are complex, lengthy, or potentially uncomfortable. These include:
IV sedation at London Dental Specialists typically lasts for the duration of your dental procedure, with effects that can be precisely controlled by the dental professional. The sedative can be continuously administered and adjusted throughout the treatment to maintain the appropriate level of sedation. Most patients remain sedated for 2-6 hours depending on the complexity of the procedure. After treatment, the sedative effects gradually wear off, though you may feel drowsy for several hours afterwards. This is why we require patients to have someone accompany them home after receiving IV sedation.
IV sedation at London Dental Specialists is generally very safe when administered by our qualified professionals, but as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. Common side effects include:
More serious risks are rare but may include allergic reactions, respiratory depression, or cardiovascular effects. Our team thoroughly evaluates each patient's medical history before recommending IV sedation to minimise these risks.
Before receiving IV sedation at London Dental Specialists, patients need to follow specific preparation guidelines:
Recovery from IV sedation at London Dental Specialists is relatively quick compared to general anaesthesia, but it varies between individuals. Most patients feel alert enough to leave the practice within 30-60 minutes after the procedure, though you will need someone to accompany you home. The sedative effects may continue for up to 24 hours, during which time you should not drive, operate machinery, make important decisions, or consume alcohol. Most patients can resume normal activities the following day, though some residual drowsiness may persist. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Good candidates for IV sedation at London Dental Specialists include:
However, IV sedation may not be suitable for everyone, including pregnant women, patients with certain medical conditions, or those taking specific medications. Our specialists conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history and current health status to determine if IV sedation is appropriate for your situation.
