IV sedation, or intravenous sedation, is a form of conscious sedation used in dentistry to help patients feel calm, relaxed, and free of discomfort during treatment. The medication is delivered directly into a vein—usually in your arm or hand—allowing it to take effect quickly and smoothly.
Unlike general anesthesia, you won’t be completely unconscious. Instead, you’ll enter a deep state of relaxation, often so calming that you may not remember much—or anything—about the procedure afterward. You’ll still be able to respond to light instructions or touch, but without the anxiety, fear, or awareness that typically come with dental visits.
At Sani Dental Group, IV sedation is safely administered and monitored by a licensed anesthesiologist, ensuring your comfort and safety every step of the way.
At Sani Dental Group, we want every patient to feel safe, informed, and at ease—especially when choosing IV sedation as part of their dental care. Before your procedure, you’ll meet with your dentist to discuss the types of sedation available and choose the one that best fits your needs.
During your initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history, current medications, and any supplements you’re taking. This helps us create a personalized and safe sedation plan, whether you're visiting us for a single procedure or as part of your medical tourism experience.
In most cases, you’ll be asked not to eat or drink for at least six hours before your appointment. Unless otherwise advised, you should continue taking your usual medications as prescribed. However, if you're taking blood thinners like warfarin, please let us know in advance—we may recommend temporarily adjusting your dosage depending on the treatment.
What To Expect During IV Sedation
When you arrive for your appointment at Sani Dental Group, our team will help you feel comfortable and at ease. Before starting your treatment, a licensed anesthesiologist will place a small IV line—usually in your hand or arm—to deliver the sedation medication.
Within minutes, you’ll begin to feel deeply relaxed. You’ll remain awake and responsive, but in a dream-like state where sounds and sensations feel distant. Many patients describe it as feeling like the procedure lasted only a few moments—or say they don’t remember it at all.
It’s a safe, controlled experience designed to help you receive the dental care you need—without fear, discomfort, or anxiety. Throughout the entire treatment:
Your heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure will be continuously monitored.
The anesthesiologist will adjust the medication as needed to maintain your comfort.
You’ll be able to breathe on your own and respond if needed, without feeling pain or stress.
