Sedation

Overcome Your Dental Fears

Sedation

At Inverness Dental Clinic, we understand that dental appointments can be stressful for some patients. To make your experience more comfortable, we offer intravenous sedation services.
Sedation may be an option for patients who:
  • Have a fear of dental treatment

  • Experience difficulty getting numb

  • Have a very sensitive gag reflex

  • Require long or complex dental procedures

Intravenous sedation is a simpler and safer alternative to hospital general anesthesia. During the procedure, you will be attended by the treating dentist, a sedation specialist, and a nurse.
You will remain in a very relaxed but conscious state, with little memory of the procedure or the numbing process. A chaperone will be needed to escort you home afterward.

You will hardly feel anything! We even numb the back of your hand before starting the IV.
