IV Therapy
IV Therapy for Comfort, Healing, and Support
At Potomac Periodontics and Implant Center, we offer IV therapy to make your treatment experience more comfortable, efficient, and supportive—especially for more advanced procedures.
With IV therapy, medications are delivered directly into your bloodstream, allowing them to work quickly and effectively. Depending on your needs, we may use
• IV Antibiotics – to help prevent or control infection, especially during implant or surgical procedures.
• IV Anti-Inflammatories – to reduce swelling and promote a faster, more comfortable recovery.
• IV Analgesics (Pain Relief) – to minimize discomfort during and after treatment, often reducing the need for oral pain medications.
• IV Sedatives – to help you relax or feel completely at ease throughout your procedure, ideal for patients with dental anxiety or undergoing longer treatments.
IV therapy is closely monitored for safety and customized to each patient’s medical history and comfort level. Whether you’re here for implant surgery, gum grafting, or a more involved periodontal procedure, IV support can enhance both your experience and your outcome.
