Sedation
Helping you feel relaxed and comfortable during treatment
We understand that dental treatment can feel overwhelming for some patients. Intravenous (IV) sedation can help you feel calm, relaxed and comfortable throughout your appointment, making treatment a much more positive experience.
Sedation is commonly used for procedures such as wisdom tooth removal and other minor oral surgery, particularly for patients who feel anxious about dental treatment or would prefer not to remember much about the procedure.
With IV sedation, you will feel deeply relaxed and may feel slightly drowsy or detached from your surroundings. Many patients are surprised by how quickly time passes and often have little or no memory of their treatment afterwards.
Sedation is always used alongside local anaesthetic, ensuring that you remain comfortable and pain-free during your procedure.
Your safety is our priority
Before treatment, we will take a thorough medical history to ensure IV sedation is suitable for you. Throughout your appointment, we carefully monitor:
Blood pressure
Heart rate
Oxygen levels
