Enhance Your Dental Experience with Sedation: Comfort and Calmness Combined

We understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes be an anxiety-inducing experience. It’s no secret that many avoid coming to the dentist and getting their necessary care because they’re anxious about the procedures and what will happen during their appointment. That’s why we offer the option of dental treatment under the calming effects of sedation. Sedation dentistry, also called \”sleep dentistry,\” involves administering sedatives before dental procedures to reduce a patient’s level of anxiety. This encompasses a range of techniques dentists employ to help calm patients or make them feel more comfortable. Sedative medication may be administered orally (oral sedation), intravenously (IV/twilight sedation), or by inhalation (nitrous oxide gas/happy gas), without having to undergo the stress or cost of underdoing a full general anaesthetic in hospital. Dental sedation empowers nervous patients to pursue treatment without being hindered by their fears or anxieties. It may also benefit people who fear needles or have a sensitive gag reflex or a low pain threshold. When effectively anaesthetised and sedated, our dentists are able to work efficiently, knowing you are comfortable.

Our goal is to ensure your dental experience is comfortable and safe, and to ensure your access to dental care is not hindered by anxiety.
