What is IV sedation?
IV sedation provides a comfortable and calm experience for patients, whether they are highly anxious or unsuitable for extraction under local anaesthetic only.
Patients who require extractions, implants or any other minor oral surgery can generally be suitable for IV sedation.
If deemed suitable, an anaesthetist will perform your sedation whilst your surgeon will undertake your treatment as planned.
How much will it cost?
IV sedation is especially beneficial for patients who do not have private health insurance. Uninsured patients can expect to save $1500 or more compared to treatment in private hospital.
Surgical fees can vary dependent on the treatment required. All fees will be given on intitial consultation to ensure you are aware of all potential costs.
Who provides the service?

Sedation is provided by an anaesthetist from Pacific Anaesthesia. You will be informed of your anaesthetist on initial consultation.
