Sedation Dentistry (IV Sedation)
Sedation Dentistry (IV Sedation) Sunshine Coast
At Coast Family Dental Currimundi, we understand that visiting the dentist can bring up past negative experiences or anxiety about treatment. Our team is proud to provide both general and advanced dentistry with a gentle, patient-focused approach. We care about your comfort and understand that you may prefer additional support options when having dental treatment.
For patients who feel nervous about procedures such as wisdom teeth removal, dental extractions, or more complex treatments like dental implants, we offer intravenous (IV) sedation, also known as ‘twilight sedation’. This option can also be helpful for longer appointments, including some cases of root canal treatment or multiple fillings, where staying relaxed for an extended period is important.
IV sedation involves a range of carefully controlled medications administered by a specially trained medical practitioner. You remain in a deeply relaxed, lightly conscious state throughout treatment.
One of the advantages of IV sedation is that the anaesthetist service includes a Medicare rebate component, which can help make this option more accessible and affordable for eligible patients.
