In some cases, IV sedation allows your dentist to complete multiple procedures during one appointment. However, combining treatments depends on several factors, including your oral health, the complexity and location of each procedure, your medical history, and the length of time you can safely remain in treatment.
For example, your dentist may determine that completing several procedures during one visit makes sense when the treatments involve different areas of your mouth or when addressing multiple dental concerns together supports your overall treatment plan. In other situations, completing everything at once may not be appropriate, and your dentist may recommend dividing treatment into separate appointments.
During your consultation, your dentist reviews your dental and medical history, discusses the procedures you need, and explains what you can expect from IV sedation. The team also considers your comfort and safety when developing your treatment plan.
If you receive IV sedation, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you as recommended after your appointment. You should also follow any pre-appointment instructions provided by your dental team.
