For many people, visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s due to past experiences, sensitive teeth, or general anxiety, dental fear is incredibly common. At Bancroft Dentistry, we understand this—and that’s why we offer IV sedation to help you feel calm, relaxed, and in control throughout your treatment.
Intravenous (IV) sedation is a safe and effective technique that helps patients feel deeply relaxed during dental procedures. The sedation is administered through a small cannula in your arm or hand, allowing the dentist to carefully control the level of sedation throughout your visit.
You’ll remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, but you’ll feel at ease and may remember very little about the procedure afterwards.
IV sedation is ideal for patients who:
If you’ve been putting off treatment due to fear, IV sedation can make all the difference.
Before your appointment, we’ll carry out a full assessment to ensure IV sedation is suitable for you. On the day of your treatment, you’ll need someone to accompany you home afterwards, as the effects can take a few hours to fully wear off.
During your procedure, our experienced team will closely monitor you at all times, ensuring your comfort and safety.
At Bancroft Dentistry, patient care is at the heart of everything we do. Our team is trained in providing IV sedation in a calm, supportive environment, helping even the most nervous patients feel confident about their dental care.
