IV Dental Sedation
IV dental sedation delivers sedative medication directly into the bloodstream, allowing for a deep state of relaxation throughout your procedure. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, we understand that dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons patients avoid care. IV sedation allows us to complete complex treatments comfortably while you remain safe and monitored.
What is it?
IV dental sedation delivers sedative medication directly into the bloodstream through a vein, creating a deep state of relaxation throughout the procedure.
How it works?
A trained professional administers the sedation through a small IV line. The level of sedation is carefully monitored and adjusted throughout your procedure.
How it helps?
IV sedation allows patients to undergo complex or lengthy dental treatments comfortably, with little to no memory of the procedure and faster recovery than general anesthesia.
