Here at Dental Arts Clinic, we understand that visits to the dentist can cause a lot of stress and anxiety for some patients. Because of this, we offer sedation services to help patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during their visit.
IV (Intravenous Moderate Sedation) is a conscious sedation treatment, meaning that you will be aware of where you are and what is happening and be able to follow any instructions provided by our dentist. IV Sedation provides medication directly into your bloodstream to help you relax quickly and feel comfortable during your appointment. Prior to providing you with IV Sedation, you will meet with the dentist one-on-one to discuss your medical history, dental needs and any other relevant factors to determine if IV Sedation is the best option for you. This type of sedation is very safe, as we will monitor you closely throughout your entire treatment to ensure that there are no complications. Patients often feel as though they have slept through their treatment following their procedure and do not recall many of the details of their visit.
Does insurance cover Sedation Dentistry?
Since each extended health plan is unique it’s advised to check with your dental insurer to determine if you will be eligible for coverage. We can assist you with this process and with making the necessary financial arrangements.
