At Bond Dental Clinic in Salisbury, we understand that visiting the dentist can be an overwhelming experience for some patients. Whether you feel mild anxiety, severe dental fear or simply wish to feel more relaxed during treatment, dental sedation can help make your experience calmer, more comfortable and stress-free.
We offer intravenous (IV) sedation in a safe, controlled clinical environment, allowing you to undergo dental treatment in a deeply relaxed state while still being responsive.
Sedation can be used for both routine and complex treatments, including tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting and longer procedures.
Intravenous sedation invoices the careful administration of a sedative medication through a small plastic cannula inserted into a vein in your hand or arm. The medication helps you feel very relaxed, calm and drowsy throughout your treatment.
