Q: What is IV conscious sedation?
A: IV conscious sedation helps patients relax during oral surgery. It is administered intravenously and allows you to stay responsive while remaining comfortable and pain-free. You may not remember the procedure afterward.
Q: Is IV sedation safe?
A: Yes. Dr. Warnock is IV sedation licensed and has been ACLS certified since 2002. Your vital signs are monitored continuously throughout the procedure for safety.
Q: Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?
A: While referrals from your general dentist are welcomed, they are not always required. Please contact us to learn more.
Q: What should I expect after my procedure?
A: You’ll receive detailed post-op instructions. Recovery times vary depending on the procedure, but most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities within a few days.
Q: Do you place dental implants immediately after extraction?
A: In some cases, yes. When the bone structure is strong enough, an implant may be placed immediately. If not, a bone graft may be recommended first.
