IV sedation is an excellent option for patients completing tooth extractions. With IV sedation, you'll feel relaxed, as if you were sleeping, while we complete your procedure.
For many patients, tooth extraction may feel overwhelming, and IV sedation is an excellent option to help relieve their anxiety or fear.
What to Know about IV Sedation in Apex, NC
IV sedation is delivered intravenously under the supervision of Dr. Watson, who is licensed in North Carolina to provide this type of sedation at our Apex dental office. Monitoring your vital signs throughout the procedure, IV sedation allows him to adjust the medication whenever needed so the patient has a relaxing experience.
Patients are still responsive during treatment with IV sedation, but they feel completely relaxed, as if they were sleeping, and have little to no memory of the procedure due to the amnesic effects of the medication.
Plan to relax and recover for the remainder of the day after your treatment with IV sedation. We'll also send you home with post-operative instructions to follow after your oral surgery to ensure that you have a smooth and comfortable recovery process.
