Intravenous sedation

IV sedation is a technique whereby a consultant anaesthetist delivers medication through a vein which relaxes the patient to such an extent that he or she can tolerate dental treatment easily with little or no recall of the event. It is an extremely safe procedure which we provide. On average we carry out 150-200 IV sedation cases per year.

I had a check up and repair to a chipped front tooth. It was the most comprehensive check up I have had. I understood why I was having problems with my flossing from an excellent briefing using my X-rays and my chip was fixed by a dental artist. After six months it is still perfect and my next check up indicated my new flossing regime is working, hurrah!
