Yes, IV sedation is safe when administered by trained professionals. At Simply Smile Dental Studio, our team closely monitors your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.

‍

IV sedation works almost immediately, allowing you to feel relaxed and calm within minutes of administration.

‍

You will be in a deeply relaxed state, often feeling drowsy and comfortable. While you may be aware of your surroundings, you will have little to no memory of the procedure.

‍

Recovery from IV sedation is relatively quick. However, you will need someone to drive you home after the procedure, as the sedative effects can linger for a few hours.

‍

IV sedation is typically reserved for adults and older teens. For younger children, other options like inhaled sedation (laughing gas) or oral sedation may be recommended.

‍

It really depends on the type of sedation in question. For instance, laughing gas sedation wears off in a couple of minutes, oral sedation takes two to eight hours to do the same while IV sedation takes 12 to 24 hours to wear off.
