What is a Dental Implant and

what are the sedation methods?

 

 

 

 

A dental implant is one way that a dentist

can replace a bridge or lost tooth.

Since it’s placed into your jaw it is a pretty

invasive procedure, but it’s also one that is

lasting and offers patients a more permanent

fix than other options.

There are many reasons why someone

might need a dental implant, such as

an injury or periodontal disease.

But for whatever reason they are needed,

dental implants have come a long way and

are a natural way to fix a missing tooth.

 

 

 

 

 

What are the Best Sedation Methods for

Dental Implants?

 

Because dental implants are highly invasive,

dental sedation is recommended.

There are various levels of dental sedation

from local anesthesia to IV sedation.

Determining which type is right for you

depends on the extent of the procedure and

your comfort level. IV sedation is generally

the preferred method, as long as you are

in good physical health. Due to the length of

time and extensiveness involved in placing

dental implants, IV sedation is an excellent

way to minimize pain and anxiety and

to get more done at one time,

rather than having to come back for

a series of appointments.

 

 

 

 

What is IV Sedation?

 

IV sedation is a type of sedation that requires

having an anesthesiologist present.

The patient is administered sedation drugs

under the guide of a doctor,

and a breathing tube is placed to ensure

that the patient is getting the proper amount

of oxygen. Although there are always risks to

IV sedation, as the patient is monitored

throughout the procedure,

those risks can be minimized if the

guidelines are followed.

 

If you are going to have dental IV sedation,

make sure that you make the proper

arrangements for afterward.

You are going to need someone to take you

home from the appointment and to help

you out once you get home.

As it’s a more complex sedation method,

anticipating some downtime is the best

way to ensure that you are prepared after

the procedure is complete.
