Why Do Our Buderim Dentists Use IV Sedation For Dental Treatments?
IV sedation is crucial to help patients with dental anxiety to calm down. During treatment, a patient needs to be at ease so our dentists can focus on the procedures and provide the best possible treatment. Several adults, and especially children, suffer greatly from dental anxiety and tend to avoid dental checkups.

IV Sedation creates a sense of calmness by stimulating a cool sensation throughout the body. This is an aspect of ‘twilight’ dentistry. Even though your anxiety is eliminated, you will still be able to communicate your problems to the doctor as you won’t be lulled into a deep sleep.
Buderim dentists put the latest technology to fair use. The special In-clinic computerized systems determine the sedative concentration. They also monitor and keep track of your pulse and oxygen rates so that our dentists can take action on any complications faced during treatment. The blood pressure levels are checked both before and after treatment by the dental professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will IV Sedation send me into a deep slumber?
The only effects of IV-sedation are light-headedness and heavy relaxation. You will be fully aware of what is taking place around you, and you can also talk and move normally, just at a slower pace.
How long will it take for me to overcome the sedation effect?
You will be released 20 minutes upon completing your treatment, and your companion will be responsible for taking you home. We recommend you take a day off from work as it is best to give yourself a day to heal fully.
Do keep in mind that the concentration was determined by your treatment and the time it takes for effects to wear off heavily depends on that.

Where is the IV Sedation performed?
It is performed by the professionals at Buderim’s In-house sleep dentistry facility. We have everything under one roof, which saves you the trouble of traveling to places. We take full responsibility for your dental treatment and don’t let our patients involve third parties.
Will it hurt even after I opt for IV Sedation?
Not at all. Our high-tech machines will allow us to inject the sedative with pain-free needles. That is the only time you might feel a very slight tinge. Other than that, you might feel insignificant pressures of the tools but nothing that will cause you discomfort or pain.
How does it feel to get sedated?
You feel a calming sensation, and you will forget all of your troubles. The sedation is injected via the veins in your hand. The only hurdle might be the Cannula, but it can be easily avoided using a mild anesthetic cream or patch an hour before the sedation process.
How does IV Sedation stand apart from local anesthesia?
While local anesthesia results in you being fully unconscious, IV Sedation only puts your mind at ease and allows you to reach a relaxed state with the added benefit of being conscious of what is happening around you. You can move and talk, which isn’t possible while being under local anesthesia.
