Even though a lot of people have a negative perception about IV sedation, in reality the procedure is extremely safe and beneficial especially for procedure for Chicago dental implants and the like. Aside from the fact that the sedatives administered through an IV are more potent, they also have a faster effect and can be very much suitable for patients with a strong gag reflex. Additionally, some sedatives administered through IV will allow you to remain completely conscious and alert while you don’t feel any pain. That is a significant advantage when you’re worried about how the procedure will progress and you don’t want to lose consciousness.
Before going ahead with IV sedation, it’s very important to have a proper checkup and discuss your options with your dentist. They may recommend IV sedation if oral sedation is not potent enough or if the amount of control over the sedation process is simply not good enough. IV sedation can solve both those problems, as well as alleviating your anxiety and providing the amount of sedation necessary for your dentist to even perform multiple procedures in the same day and save you some money in the process.
From all of this results the fact that most of the procedures for which IV sedation is not just recommended, but necessary, are complex procedures that last a long time and require a substantial amount of work. These may include complex extraction, implant placement, root canal and of course, various types of oral surgery.
