Sedation at Guru Dentistry in Irvine, CA

What is IV sedation?

IV sedation is the administration of anesthetic medications intravenously. The procedure puts you in a comfortable, conscious (semi-awake) state of reduced anxiety. You, the patient will have little or no memory of the dental procedure that was performed. Through conscious sedation, you are placed in an amnesic state from the medications used to administer sedation. During IV sedation, you are able to respond to verbal commands and sometimes to a light physical touch.

What You Can Expect

Because you will be administered sedative medications, you will not be able to drive. You will need to have transportation to and from your appointment.

During sedation, you will be closely and continuously monitored by Dr. Choudhry and her staff members, using electronic equipment that shows blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels and your heart function on an EKG monitor. After the procedure, you will be released to go home, when Dr. Choudhry feels that it is safe to leave. You and your designated driver will receive post-treatment and home care instructions.
