IV sedation has become a preferred option for many patients seeking dental care, especially those who experience anxiety during procedures. At DiBona Dental Group, located at 1 Wayside Drive in Exeter, NH, the implementation of IV sedation allows patients to undergo necessary treatments in a relaxed and stress-free environment. Understanding what to expect during an IV sedation dental procedure can help demystify the process and address any concerns about comfort and safety.

IV sedation involves administering medication directly into the bloodstream, providing a more controlled and immediate effect compared to other sedation methods. Here is a step-by-step guide on what to anticipate before, during, and after the procedure:

• Before the Procedure: A consultation with one of our experienced dentists, such as Dr. Elizabeth DiBona or Dr. Nicholas Koren, will assess your medical history and discuss any specific concerns. This ensures that sedation is appropriate for your situation. Patients will receive instructions regarding fasting and medication adjustments prior to the appointment.
• During the Procedure: Once at the office, the dental team will add an IV line, delivering sedation medication. Patients typically experience a calm and relaxed state, often having little to no memory of the procedure afterward. Vital signs will be closely monitored throughout the process to ensure safety.
• After the Procedure: Post-treatment, patients may feel drowsy or slightly disoriented. A responsible adult should accompany them home after sedation. Follow-up care instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth recovery.

The comfort and safety of our patients are paramount at DiBona Dental Group. Our modern facilities and supportive staff help patients feel at ease, allowing for effective treatment without stress. Comments from satisfied patients often highlight the gentle approach demonstrated by our team, stating that "the care and friendliness of the staff make all the difference.”
