Intravenous Dental Sedation

If you are particularly nervous about your next visit to the dentist, Titirangi Dental offers a solution to help you. Intravenous (IV) sedation is a safe and effective treatment option that helps you to relax. Our specially trained dentists will inject a sedative directly into your veins to reduce anxiety and discomfort and help you feel relaxed.

This is ideal for patients who experience a high level of dental phobia as well as those who are preparing for a less routine dental procedure.

IV sedation is a safe and proven treatment that will be supervised by your dentist at all times. While it may be referred to as sleep dentistry, you will actually remain awake and responsive during your procedure.

How Does IV Sedation Work?

IV sedation will:

Have a calming effect on patients
Make you feel sleepy without falling asleep
Make you unaware of the procedure, including the noises and vibrations that may make you feel anxious
Allow you to respond to and understand the dentist during the procedure
Result in some memory loss – sometimes patients don’t remember the procedure at all!

Sleep Dentistry

Dental Sedation – During the Procedure

During a dental procedure with IV sedation, you will:

Have a thin tube attached to a vein in your arm and hand
Begin to feel relaxed and sleepy as the drugs are administered
Be constantly monitored by machines and our dental professionals
Be given a local anaesthetic in many cases. This will be administered after the sedation so you will not be aware of it.

Sleep Dentistry

Before and after the Procedure

To prepare for the procedure, you may need to eat light meals and avoid alcohol the night before. On the day of your appointment, bring another adult with you who can remain with you for the rest of the day.
After your procedure:

Recover in our recovery area (usually about 1 hour)
Travel home with a responsible adult
Avoid driving or operating machinery
Do not drink alcohol
Take the rest of the day off work

Testimonials

I first went to Titirangi dental in Feb 2022 with a terrible tooth ache. Luke and the team not only helped me get that tooth back to good health but have worked closely with me on gum issues since. I like that Luke talks me through each step before, during and after which helps me stay informed. I also appreciate the they provide options for treatment. I avoided dentists for my whole adult life to my own detriment. Each time I went in, it left me not feeling the best and they didn’t take a holistic approach but that has changed now.

      I am really happy with Titirangi Dental. A couple of years ago I changed from a dentist in town I have been to for decades because his practice got taken over by  when he retired. Dr Luke at Titirangi dentist is a wonderful find. Very very happy with his work and recommendations. Plus he doesn’t try to sell me extra stuff… like Lumio was doing. And my hygienist Glodie Biladi is fabulous and thorough with such a sunny personality that almost makes having my teeth cleaned fun.

      My experience at Titirangi dental is always impressive. Even late on a Friday afternoons their professionalism is on top form. I get treated as an important person of significance. They value each individual with such friendly approach which had me relax more. No tricks or upselling just honest focus on what needs attention and a good sense of being taken care of when leaving. Their fabulous reputation most certainly stands on strong foundations thats for sure. I personally wouldnt want to go anywhere else their team from reception to surgeon is too good. I can put my hand on heart and recommend this five star practice as I do. Go for it! You'd be hard pushed to find better me thinks!
