IV Sedation in Prairieville

For patients with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures, IV sedation at Ascension Premier Dental offers a safe and effective way to remain calm and comfortable during treatment. Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation than other sedation methods, making it an excellent choice for those who want a virtually pain-free experience.

IV (intravenous) sedation involves delivering medication through a small needle inserted into a vein, allowing for precise control over the level of sedation. Unlike general anesthesia, IV sedation does not render you completely unconscious—you will be in a deeply relaxed, semi-conscious state, often with little to no memory of the procedure.

At Ascension Premier Dental, our experienced team, led by Dr. Calvin G. Bessonet III, closely monitors you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.

IV sedation offers several advantages, including:

• Deeper relaxation: Ideal for patients with high levels of anxiety
• Fast-acting effects: Works quickly, allowing for immediate relaxation
• Adjustable sedation levels: Can be tailored to your needs during the procedure
• Amnesia-like effect: Most patients have little or no memory of their treatment
• Time efficiency: Allows for multiple or extensive procedures in a single visit

You may benefit from IV sedation in Prairieville if you:

• Experience severe dental anxiety or phobia
• Have difficulty sitting still for long procedures
• Have a strong gag reflex that makes dental work uncomfortable
• Need multiple or complex treatments in one visit
• Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past

If you’re unsure whether IV sedation is right for you, our team will assess your medical history and discuss the best sedation option for your needs.
