Expert IV sedation at Riccobene Goldsboro

At Riccobene Associates Family Dentistry in Goldsboro, our team provides safe IV sedation to help anxious patients or those needing complex procedures feel at ease.

What is IV sedation dentistry?

IV (intravenous) sedation dentistry is a deep form of conscious sedation where anti-anxiety and pain-relief medications are delivered directly into your bloodstream.

Who is a good candidate for IV sedation?

Anyone with severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or an upcoming extensive procedure who needs a deeply relaxed, stress-free experience.

What should I expect before IV sedation dentistry?

Before the procedure begins, our team will review your vitals and connect you to monitoring equipment. We will then carefully place an IV line in your hand or arm to administer the sedative. The medication takes effect very quickly, bringing on a state of deep calm and relaxation so you remain comfortably sedated throughout your dental procedure.

What dental procedures commonly use IV sedation?

Our team recommends IV sedation for procedures such as wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, extractions, and other complex treatments.

How is IV sedation different from general anesthesia?

While general anesthesia puts you to sleep, IV sedation allows you to remain conscious but relaxed, resulting in an easier recovery while ensuring you feel comfortable during your dental care.

★★★★★
From check-in, to my actual appointment time with my dental hygienist, my experience was amazing! I not only felt heard by my hygienist, but I felt safe and appreciated. She took her time to explain my dental history, as well as the procedure that would take place, while answering all of my questions with patience. She made sure that I was okay, during the procedure, while letting me know that I was okay. I left with gratitude. Thanks so much!
