IV Sedation Dentistry

Dr. Hartley and Dr. Field use four levels sedation:

1. Deeper sedation - IV Sedation
2. Moderate sedation - Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedative in combination
3. Light sedation - An oral sedative (a pill)
4. Light sedation - Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)

Intravenous sedation/conscious sedation is deeper, more reliable and controllable, and easily adjusted to each individual patient.

Mild or moderate sedation/procedural sedation in which you are awake but drowsy is a very effective way to relieve anxiety. With slightly deeper sedation, you will be breathing on your own while monitored but you will have no memory of your procedure when you wake.

The level of sedation will be adjusted according to your needs.
