Oral and IV Sedation

Oral and IV Sedation at At Georgia Dental Group

Dental anxiety is a common concern, preventing many people from receiving the essential dental care they need. At At Georgia Dental Group, we understand these anxieties and offer both oral and IV sedation options to ensure your dental experience is comfortable, relaxing, and stress-free.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It can be used for everything from routine cleanings to more complex treatments like extractions or implants. We offer different levels of sedation to meet individual needs and anxiety levels.

Our Sedation Options

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication in pill form before your appointment. This type of sedation helps to reduce anxiety and makes you feel drowsy and relaxed. You'll be awake but much more comfortable.

IV Sedation (Intravenous Sedation)

IV sedation is administered through a vein in your arm. This type of sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. You may feel very drowsy and may even fall asleep during the procedure. You'll be closely monitored throughout the entire process.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

• Reduced Anxiety: Sedation helps to calm nerves and alleviate fear associated with dental visits.
• More Comfortable Experience: Sedation allows you to relax and feel at ease during your treatment.
• Ability to Complete More Treatment in One Visit: For longer or more complex procedures, sedation can allow us to complete more work in a single appointment, minimizing the number of visits required.
• Increased Patient Cooperation: Sedation can be especially helpful for patients with special needs or those who have difficulty sitting still for extended periods.
• Overcoming Dental Phobia: Sedation can help patients overcome their dental phobia and receive the necessary care they need.
