Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of sedation does Taki Dent offer?
Taki Dent Antalya offers intravenous (IV) conscious sedation administered by a certified anaesthesiologist. Under IV sedation, you are in a deeply relaxed, sleep-like state throughout the procedure, with no awareness of the treatment and no memory of it afterwards. Local anaesthesia is always used in combination with sedation to ensure complete pain-free treatment. Oral sedation (sedative tablets) is also available for patients with mild anxiety as a gentler alternative.
Q: Is IV sedation safe?
IV sedation at Taki Dent is administered by a fully qualified anaesthesiologist and is extremely safe for the vast majority of patients. Your vital signs — heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation — are continuously monitored throughout the procedure. A thorough pre-sedation health assessment ensures sedation is appropriate for your medical history. Millions of dental procedures are performed under sedation globally every year with an excellent safety record.
Q: Who is sedation dentistry most suitable for?
Sedation dentistry at Taki Dent is ideal for patients with dental anxiety or phobia, patients undergoing long or complex procedures (such as multiple implants or full-arch surgery), patients with a strong gag reflex, and patients who simply want to complete as much treatment as possible in a single comfortable session. It is also beneficial for patients who have had negative dental experiences in the past. During your consultation, our team will assess whether sedation is the right choice for you.
Q: Will I be fully unconscious under sedation?
With IV conscious sedation, you are not fully unconscious — you remain able to respond to instructions if needed, but you are in a deeply relaxed, drowsy state and will have little to no memory of the procedure afterwards. General anaesthesia (full unconsciousness) is different and is rarely needed for dental procedures. Taki Dent uses conscious sedation because it is safer, requires shorter recovery, and is equally effective at eliminating anxiety and discomfort.
Q: How should I prepare for a sedation appointment at Taki Dent?
Patients must fast (no food or water) for at least 6 hours before IV sedation at Taki Dent. You should arrange for a responsible adult to escort you home from the clinic, as driving is not permitted for 24 hours after sedation. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid alcohol the night before. Our team will provide full pre-appointment instructions tailored to your specific sedation protocol when you book your appointment.
