IV sedation is an excellent way to complete complex treatment procedures while feeling comfortable, at ease, and as if you were sleeping. Dr. Watson is one of very few dentists licensed to provide IV sedation in NC, so we're thrilled to offer it at Bass and Watson Family Dental.
How to Prepare for IV Sedation Dentistry in Apex, NC
Dr. Watson will provide specific instructions for your day of treatment, including when you should stop eating and drinking prior to surgery. Otherwise, just get a good night's rest before you come in!
You'll need transportation arranged to and from your appointment as you won't be able to safely drive yourself home after treatment.
During your procedures, Dr. Watson will monitor your vital signs and heart rate throughout, adjusting the medication whenever needed. You will feel relaxed as if you were sleeping, while still being able to respond to Dr. Watson.
After your procedure, plan on resting for the remainder of the day. Our team will send you home with after-care instructions, which vary depending on the type of procedure you complete.
We're here to support your needs throughout treatment and beyond into the recovery process. So don't hesitate to contact our team if you have any questions or concerns after IV sedation dentistry in Apex.
