Sleep Dentistry with IV Sedation
IV sedation will create a tranquil state of mind, and eliminate the pain and anxiety associated with dental treatment. While sedated, you are deeply relaxed and feel as though you are sleeping although still able to respond to speech and touch. Therefore, IV sedation is commonly referred to as Conscious Sedation.
IV sedation will make any procedure a quick, easy and most importantly, painless experience. Dr. Singleton may recommend IV sedation for certain procedures, such as wisdom teeth removal or comprehensive treatment cases, or for patients who have severe dental fear and anxiety.
