Sedation Dentistry
We get that visiting the dentist isn’t easy for everyone. Whether you’ve had a difficult past experience, have a strong gag reflex, or are just feeling anxious, our sedation options are designed to help you feel calm, cared for and at ease during your visit.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation?
Sedation may be suitable for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or nervousness
- Have a sensitive gag reflex
- Require complex or multiple procedures
- Find it challenging to sit still for extended periods
We’re here to support you with a caring, personalised approach that helps reduce stress and ensure your comfort.
Sedation Options Available
Oral Sedation
Taken as a tablet before your visit, oral sedation helps reduce tension and may cause drowsiness. You’ll remain conscious, but many patients feel very calm and remember little of the procedure. You’ll need someone to accompany you home.
Local Anaesthetic
Used to numb a specific area of the mouth, this technique helps minimise discomfort during your treatment.
What to Expect
Before we begin, we’ll walk you through everything so you feel well-informed and prepared. During your procedure, our experienced team will monitor you closely and check in with you regularly. After treatment, we’ll provide clear guidance to support your recovery.
