Tooth Extraction Under IV Sedation: What You Need to Know

Worried About Tooth Extraction? IV Sedation Makes It Easy and Pain-Free

Tooth extractions can be stressful—especially if you suffer from dental anxiety or have had a bad experience in the past. At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we offer tooth extraction under IV sedation to help you stay calm, relaxed, and comfortable during the procedure.

Whether you're dealing with impacted wisdom teeth, severe decay, or need multiple extractions, IV sedation dentistry allows you to get the treatment you need—without fear or discomfort.

What Is IV Sedation in Dentistry?

IV sedation (intravenous sedation) involves delivering a calming medication through a small vein in your arm. It works quickly and helps you enter a deep state of relaxation—you’ll still be awake, but you likely won’t remember the procedure.

Benefits of IV sedation:

  • Fast-acting, calming effects

  • Little to no memory of the procedure

  • Reduces anxiety and fear

  • Allows multiple procedures in one visit

  • Safe and closely monitored

Why Choose IV Sedation for Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction may be needed for:

  • Impacted or infected wisdom teeth

  • Severely decayed or damaged teeth

  • Orthodontic treatment preparation

  • Advanced gum disease

But that doesn’t mean it has to be painful or traumatic. With IV sedation, you can stay calm and comfortable throughout the entire process.

What to Expect: Tooth Extraction with IV Sedation

  1. Consultation
    We’ll review your medical history and discuss your sedation options to ensure IV sedation is safe for you.

  2. On the Day

    • You’ll fast for a few hours beforehand.

    • A small IV will be placed in your arm or hand.

    • Once sedation begins, you’ll feel deeply relaxed.

    • Local anesthetic is also used to ensure complete pain relief.

  3. During the Extraction
    You’ll remain semi-conscious but won’t feel pain or remember much. The procedure will feel like it was over in minutes.

  4. Aftercare

    • You'll need someone to drive you home.

    • Rest and avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours.

    • Follow our post-op instructions for a smooth recovery.

Is IV Sedation Safe?
