Sedation
At Coventry and Warwickshire Implant Centre our aim is to make your implant journey as calm and stress-free as possible. We do this in a number of ways: by being patient and understanding, taking things at your pace and being genuinely empathic. But for patients who are extremely phobic, sometimes that isn’t enough and that’s when our investment in techniques that help relieve anxiety, such as oral and IV sedation prove beneficial.
Treatment With Sedation Is Comfortable
You will feel very relaxed but fully co-operative and you may not remember anything about your treatment. Oral sedation involves taking a sedative one hour before any dental treatment and IV sedation involves receiving a small injection in the back of your hand/arm. Both methods will help you to relax and you will feel that treatment has only taken a short amount of time. Afterwards you will need somebody to drive you home and you should not drink any alcohol or go back to work.
Our dentists have been providing intravenous sedation to anxious patients for nearly 20 years, both in general practice and Guy’s Hospital, London. As this is their particular area of interest they have achieved a Post Graduate Diploma in Sedation, so please rest assured you will be in safe hands. Please don’t neglect your dental wellbeing because of severe anxiety – speak to us, we can help.
