Intravenous (IV) therapy is a medical method that delivers fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into your bloodstream through a vein. By bypassing the digestive system entirely, this treatment achieves nearly 100% bioavailability, meaning your body can utilize the nutrients immediately rather than losing potency during gastric breakdown.

During a session, here is what you can generally expect:

• Consultation and Preparation: A practitioner reviews your health history and records baseline vitals like blood pressure and heart rate.
• Catheter Insertion: A small, sterile catheter is placed into a peripheral vein, usually in your arm or the back of your hand. You may feel a brief pinch during this step.
• Administration: The prescribed solution—whether for hydration or vitamin support—flows through the tubing at a controlled rate. Sessions typically last between 20 and 90 minutes.

We find these therapies particularly beneficial for recovery; for example, patients receiving dental implants or undergoing oral surgery may use IV therapy to rebuild soft tissue and reduce post-operative fatigue. Additionally, we offer IV sedation (conscious sedation) to deliver anti-anxiety medication directly into the bloodstream, helping you stay relaxed during complex dental procedures.
