Conscious sedation helps people who feel anxious about dental treatment receive care more comfortably. Comfort is a central principle of our practice.
IV Conscious Sedation at a Glance
Seoul Point Dental Clinic provides IV conscious sedation using intravenous midazolam. During treatment, pulse oximetry monitors oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse in real time and blood pressure is measured using NIBP equipment. Flumazenil, oxygen equipment and a bag-valve mask are kept in the treatment room. The clinical team has provided sedation treatment for 10 years.
Conscious sedation during implant treatment creates a relaxed, sleep-like state that helps reduce discomfort and dental anxiety.
Unlike general anaesthesia, conscious sedation allows spontaneous breathing. It can make lengthy implant procedures or multiple implant surgery more manageable.
Our sedation treatment uses intravenous (IV) midazolam. Midazolam is widely used in dental sedation, has a rapid onset when given intravenously and can be adjusted according to the patient's condition. Patients often remember little of the procedure.

Throughout treatment, a pulse oximeter monitors oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse in real time and blood pressure is checked using NIBP equipment.
Oxygen saturation is a key monitoring measure during sedation. Changes are addressed promptly, with monitoring continuing from the start of sedation through recovery.

One reason for using midazolam is the availability of a reversal agent. Sedation is provided with a means of reversing its effects.
After treatment, you recover in the same treatment chair without being moved.
You are not moved immediately after sedation. The team monitors you in the same space until you are sufficiently alert and meet discharge criteria. Our team has provided sedation treatment for 10 years.
A detailed consultation before surgery checks your current condition.
Licensed clinicians carefully guide you into conscious sedation.
Implant surgery begins after the team confirms an appropriate sedation level and comfort.
Drowsiness may remain after surgery. You recover in the treatment chair under observation and leave only after sufficient recovery.
