Dental anxiety is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide. This fear of the dentist can be so intense that it leads to missed appointments, neglected dental hygiene, and deteriorating oral health. We believe every person deserves a pleasant dental experience, every time. One that is pain free, worry free, and fear free.
At Woonona Dental, we offer a solution that is not only smooth and efficient, but also comfortable and convenient—and tailored to the patient to help them overcome their dental fear and receive the treatment they need. IV dental sedation is an option which can make even the most complex and lengthy procedures feel like a breeze.
What Is IV Dental Sedation?
Also known as intravenous sedation, it is a type of conscious sedation that involves the use of anaesthesia through an IV line. Patients remain awake and responsive during the procedure, but in a calm, dream-like state. The sedative effect may last several hours, depending on the dosage and individual response.
Is This Right for Me?
Like any medical intervention, IV sedation requires careful monitoring and supervision by trained professionals. Our dentist, Dr Minoo Vellani, is a qualified and experienced dentist with a passion for sedation dentistry.
To begin the process, we assess your medical history, current medications, and any allergies or contraindications that may affect your safety. During the sedation, your vital signs, oxygen levels, and responsiveness will be monitored continuously.
Our dentist will adjust the dosage or stop the medication if any adverse reactions occur. After the sedation, you will be observed until you recover fully and can walk and talk normally.
