IV Sedation (Conscious or Twilight Sedation)
Conscious sedation is a safe, controlled and reversible option for the reduction of anxiety, memory and time perception during a procedure. It can be administered orally or intravenously and produces a shallow state of sedation which allows the patient to maintain control of safety reflexive functions and cognitive response.
This method was originally intended for use by cardiac patients with a history of heart disease in order to provide the most secure possible treatment for at-risk patients. At Atlanta Dental Spa, each of our patients receive the most safe and gentle sedation treatment options available.
Managing Dental Anxiety with IV Sedation
How Sedation Dentistry Works
A lot of people think IV sedation may not be safe for them. Dental anxiety is actually why IV sedation was introduced into dentistry. Being scared, nervous, and having extra anxiety can trigger cardiac events. When you’re under IV sedation you’re very calm, mild manner, nothing is upsetting, and your anxiety level is so low that your procedure can be done in a much safer health environment.
Also, if you have a high blood pressure episode, we have direct access to give you medications to keep you in a very safe, controlled level. That can’t be done if you aren’t on an IV. But IV sedation isn’t just for folks who have medical conditions. Pure anxiety is reason enough.
The first thing we’ll do is meet you and find out about you, understand what you’re scared about, and what your medical history is. This will allow us to treat you safely and predictably, and understand what it is that we need to do and how we can maximize your dental appointment.
We’ll determine if IV sedation is a good option for you when you come in for your consultation. During the procedure we’ll give you a combination of medications that minimize how much you remember. Your 2-hour appointment may only seem like it takes 20 minutes! We will make you totally comfortable, and we will minimize swelling and discomfort post-procedure.
Dental Anxiety Management
Atlanta Dental Spa provides safe and simple solutions to your dental anxiety. We take our patients through a consultation that covers medical history, anxiety history and a discussion of concerns and fears.
We manage anxiety using three methods including conscious sedation, pre-op preparation and nitrous oxide. To encourage relaxation and provide a comfortable, relaxing environment, we provide noise-cancelling headphones, shaded eyewear and HD TVs.
Managing Dental Anxiety with IV Sedation
3 Levels of Sedation
Sedation Dentistry is GREAT!
Nitrous Oxide
Also commonly referred to as laughing gas, this method is ideal for those requiring quick recovery following a procedure. Nitrous oxide can be administered and quickly flushed out by oxygen within minutes. Following a nitrous oxide treatment, the patient will leave Atlanta Dental Spa as alert and bright-eyed as upon arrival.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation dentistry comprises a tiny pill, which is safe and will allow you to undergo multiple procedures at once, and you won’t even know you went to the dentist! This tiny pill calms all nerves and takes you into a twilight sedated state. While you’re sedated, our team of dentists performs your procedures. When you “wake up” you’re back home and comfortable. It’s that simple!
IV Sedation
The most comprehensive – and safest – sedation procedure. By having direct access to your circulatory system, we can take you to a deeper level of sedation by using modern sedation medications, such as Versed, Fentanyl, and Toradol, etc. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and the amount of oxygen in your blood are continuously monitored by the Atlanta Dental Spa team.
