ATL Dental Implants offers IV Sedation Dentistry for patients receiving dental implants and dentures, provided by a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist. According to The National Library of Medicine, 36% of Americans struggle with dental anxiety due to fear. With IV Sedation Dentistry, you can enjoy the remarkable benefits of dental implants without letting fear hold you back. Our doctors are committed to easing dental anxiety from the moment you schedule your consultation.
Intravenous sedation, or IV sedation, is an anti-anxiety medication that creates an amnesia-like effect, allowing you to remember very little of your dental implant procedure. Similar to a standard IV, the sedative is administered through a vein near the surface of your skin, working gently and quickly to help you relax and feel at ease. While you’ll be able to respond to our doctors and answer questions, you’ll have little to no recollection of the procedure itself.
Before Your Surgery
Our Board-Certified Anesthesiologist will insert a thin intravenous needle into a vein in your hand or arm. The sedative will flow through a tube, delivering the medication directly into your bloodstream and taking effect within 2-3 minutes. Note: If necessary, a numbing cream can be applied to the area where the IV is inserted.
During Your Surgery
Our Anesthesiologist continuously monitors your pulse and oxygen levels to ensure your safety throughout your dental implants or dentures procedure. As the sedative takes effect, you’ll feel a calming sensation that alleviates pain and promotes relaxation throughout your body. While you’ll remain awake, you won’t experience any pain during the surgery, and you won’t remember the procedure afterward.
After Your Surgery
After receiving your dental implants or dentures, you may feel a bit groggy—like waking up from a refreshing nap. We recommend that patients have a family member or friend pick you up and drive you home following your surgery. If you can, we also suggest taking the rest of the day off to allow your body to rest. This is an excellent opportunity to replenish with good food while enjoying your all-on-4 dental implants or dentures.

IV Sedation Dentistry has many benefits, especially for patients with dental anxiety:
The medication used for IV sedation is very safe, with very few (and extremely rare) complications. For pain-free dental procedures, IV sedation dentistry is an excellent option. Especially, if you have dental fears, IV sedatives take the anxiety out of the equation, so you can get the dental implants or dentures that you need without being afraid.
During your free consultation for dental implants in Atlanta, GA, we will answer every question you have about IV sedation to make sure you have peace of mind. Make sure to tell us about any medications you are currently using, whether prescribed or over-the-counter.
IV sedation typically feels very good to the body, even euphoric. Your body will completely relax, and you will experience a twilight sleep. In other words, when the surgery is over you will feel like time has passed very quickly-as if you have slept peacefully– though you have been awake enough to answer questions during the procedure. You will have little to no memory of the dental implant surgery.
IV sedation is extremely fast-acting, taking effect in minutes. The immediate introduction of medicine into your bloodstream allows the sedative to travel to the brain and relax the body within 2-3 minutes of administration.
IV sedation continues to work throughout the entirety of your dental implant procedure, and begins to wear off about an hour after your procedure. The calming effects of IV sedation can take a full 24 hours to wear off after a dental implants procedure depending on your metabolism, your age, your weight, and your overall health.
