In-House IV Sedation

What Is IV Sedation?

IV sedation is a deeper form of sedation dentistry that allows patients to remain comfortable and relaxed throughout their procedure. At North River Periodontics & Implants, we offer in-house IV sedation so that you never have to travel to an outside facility for treatment. A sedative medication is administered directly into the bloodstream through an IV line, allowing Dr. Bonadife to carefully control the level of sedation throughout your appointment. Many patients have little to no memory of the procedure afterward.

Why Choose IV Sedation?

IV sedation is often recommended for patients with significant dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, or those undergoing more complex or lengthy procedures. Because the medication is delivered intravenously, it tends to work faster and can be adjusted more precisely than oral sedation. Dr. Bonadife will review your medical history and discuss your treatment goals to determine if IV sedation is the right choice for you.

What to Expect During In-House IV Sedation

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Before your procedure, our team will walk you through what to expect and answer any questions you may have. Throughout your treatment, your vital signs will be closely monitored by our trained staff. Because IV sedation produces a deeper level of relaxation, you will need to arrange for a trusted friend or family member to drive you home after your appointment, and you should plan to rest for the remainder of the day.

The Benefits of In-House Sedation

Receiving IV sedation in-house means you can complete your procedure in a familiar, comfortable setting with a dental team you already know and trust. There is no need to coordinate visits between separate offices or worry about transferring records. Dr. Bonadife and our staff are here to guide you through every step of the process from start to finish.
