At Sandgate Bayside Dental, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent patients from getting the care they need. That’s why we offer IV sedation dentistry in Brisbane—a safe, effective solution for a relaxed and comfortable dental experience. Whether you need extensive treatment or simply struggle with dental fear, our expert team is here to ensure a smooth, stress-free visit.
What is IV Sedation Dentistry?
IV sedation (Intravenous sedation) is a technique used to help patients feel calm and at ease during dental procedures. Administered by a qualified professional, IV sedation allows you to remain in a state of deep relaxation while still being responsive to verbal cues. Many patients have little to no memory of the procedure, making it an ideal choice for those with severe dental anxiety or phobia.
Benefits of IV Sedation for Dental Procedures
- Reduces anxiety and discomfort
- Enhances patient cooperation for longer procedures
- Allows multiple treatments in a single visit
- Minimizes gag reflex and discomfort from prolonged mouth opening
- Creates a relaxed, memory-free experience
Who is a Good Candidate for IV Sedation?
IV sedation is recommended for patients who:
✔ Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety
✔ Have a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still
✔ Require complex or multiple dental treatments
✔ Have a low pain threshold or dental phobia
✔ Need wisdom teeth removal, root canal therapy, or extensive restorative work
Our experienced team will assess your medical history and discuss whether IV sedation is the best option for you.
