Intravenous Sedation

IV sedation is a safe and controlled form of anesthesia that allows you to remain relaxed and anxiety-free throughout your treatment. This technique is ideal for oral surgeries, extractions, implants, periodontal procedures, and deep cleanings. Unlike general anesthesia, IV sedation keeps you in a semi-conscious, deeply relaxed state where you remain responsive but unaware of discomfort.

At ConfiDental Costa Rica, we work alongside certified anesthesiologists who administer and monitor IV Sedation. Their expertise ensures that patients receive the highest level of safety and care throughout their surgical procedures. With this sedation method, patients experience:
✔ Reduced anxiety and stress before and during the procedure.
✔ A pain-free treatment experience.
✔ A relaxed, semi-conscious state where they remember little to nothing about the procedure.
✔ Faster recovery with minimal side effects.
