Unlike most dental offices, we at Spring Valley Dental Care have our own in-house IV Sedation dentist, Dr. John Mady. No more needless referrals to multiple dentist offices. Save time and money by working with one dentist office! Other dental offices may bring an anesthesiologist to their office just for you, but this can take months for everyone’s schedules to align.
IV sedation allows us to complete your dental procedure, in just one visit, instead of multiple visits. This can be especially convenient for lengthy treatments or for patients with high levels of dental anxiety. When you are sedated, we are able to focus entirely on your dental needs, and you can relax knowing you will be comfortable through it all.
With this level of sedation, you will experience a peaceful and anxiety-free dental visit. You can trust that Dr. Mady and our team will monitor your vital signs during the procedure to make sure everything proceeds smoothly. We know the proper dosage needed to keep you both safe and comfortable.
IV sedation goes directly into your bloodstream, so patients can expect immediate results and won’t be waiting around for the sedative to take effect. Additionally, it can be adjusted at any time to ensure your continued comfort throughout any procedure. Once your procedure is complete, you will be groggy and will require someone to drive you home. After a few hours, you will feel back to normal.
While IV sedation is not an anesthetic and does not directly reduce pain during your procedure, its effects help to soothe responses triggered by apprehension, which may contribute to discomfort. This includes tension, tightness, overactive gag reflex, and other physical reactions that can come with dental procedures.
If you are suffering from dental anxiety, IV sedation is an excellent way to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during your visit. Under this sedative, patients will enter a twilight state of consciousness and will be free from the anxiety that is commonly associated with dental procedures.
IV sedation can help you receive the dental treatment that you need in a single visit instead of delaying or avoiding it. Fear and anxiety can be paralyzing, but with the help of IV sedation, you can receive treatment without feeling overwhelmed. This ensures you can take care of your oral health with ease.
Fear of the dentist affects many patients from all walks of life. From young to old, dental anxiety keeps many from visiting the dentist altogether. Dr. Mady has extensive training and has earned the necessary licenses from the state of New Jersey to be able to safely administer IV sedation.
IV sedation is a powerful, fast-acting, and highly effective way to reduce dental anxiety. It is administered intravenously, meaning it goes directly into your bloodstream for the quickest, most efficient effects. As the deepest level of sedation, the sedative allows patients to completely disengage from the dental appointment and easily undergo any necessary procedures without having to be referred out of the office. With IV sedation, fillings, root canals, extractions, and more can be performed free from the anxiety that typically makes these visits stressful.
Our in-office offering of IV sedation is a rare commodity in the dental world, and we are proud to offer it to our patients. If you are seeking a lighter form of sedation, we invite you to call about our nitrous oxide sedative.
