I am having a sinus lift and 4 implants placed upper right and do not want to be sedated. The 4 teeth have already been extracted. I have had a lot of dental work done without sedation and am not afraid of having some discomfort during the procedure, I am fine with hearing the drill, pressure etc. I always throw up after mild IV sedation even with anti nausea medication given during the procedure. I do not like risking a problem as a result of throwing up on the surgical site so do not want sedation.

Answer: Follow your dentist/oral surgeons advice A sinus lift and 4 implants is oral surgery, not general dentistry. Your surgeon has your comfort in mind as well as a realistic understanding of what the surgeries entail. The side effect of nausea and vomiting can be addressed with the anesthesiologist. There are alternative sedatives which may not cause this for you. No medicine, sedation medicine, is without side effects.

Answer: Preferred but not a must This kind of procedures are lengthy procedures and it requires comfortable environment for both the patient to be relaxed and calm , and for the doctor himself while performing this procedure and not to deal with patient movements and re positioning on the chair specialy when dealing with such comprehensive procedure of sinus lift and 4 implant placement. Throwing up is most of the time due to nausea caused by sedative medication but this issue can be controlled by many anti-nausea medications that can take care of that. But again it is preferred but not a must.
