IV Sedation Implant
Comfortably under sedation; when you wake up, it’s already done
Afraid of the dentist? We perform surgery safely under IV sedation in collaboration with anesthesiology specialists. Experience waking up with the procedure already finished—at Seoul BD Dental.
What is an IV Sedation Implant?
An IV Sedation Implant involves administering intravenous sedatives and performing implant surgery while you are in a sleep-like state. Unlike general anesthesia, it is conscious sedation with spontaneous breathing, so no ventilator is needed, and you can return to normal activities in 30~60 minutes after surgery.

Why Seoul BD Dental confidently recommends it
Complete relief from surgical fear
Surgery proceeds while you are sedated and unaware. You won’t perceive sounds, vibration, or pain.
Specialized Anesthesia System
We co-manage with board-certified anesthesiologists and ensure safety through real-time monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation.
Multiple implants placed simultaneously
We place several at once in a single sedation session, reducing the number of visits.
Tailored safety for older patients
After precise checks of blood pressure, blood glucose, and ECG, even patients with hypertension or diabetes can undergo surgery safely.
Overcoming the gag reflex
Under sedation, the gag reflex is suppressed.
