Sleep dentistry is safe because Dr Asad and his team continually monitor your heart rate and vital signs throughout your entire procedure, whether you choose IV sedation or general anaesthetic (GA).
GA Provides Sleep-Like Sedation
Because GA entails a deeper level of sedation, we enlist the help of a specialist anaesthesiologist who monitors your vital signs and manages the levels of medication used throughout your procedures. GA also requires a slower recovery process, following hospital protocols, but with a same-day discharge.
How IV Sedation Works
Dr Asad delivers IV sedation intravenously so he can monitor the levels of medication we use. IV sedation is done in one of our dental clinics and provides a deeper level of sedation, yet the patient is still responsive.
