Sedation Dentistry

We understand that the dentist isn't everyone's favourite place to go and with it can come a feeling of nervousness and/or anxiety. We are very empathetic towards patients in these situations and offer a range of Sedation techniques to help ensure your experience is a comfortable one.

Sedation is a particularly good option for patients who:

- Fear dental treatment.
- Have had a previous bad experience with dental work.
- Dislike the sound of the drill in dentistry.
- Experience nervousness and feelings of anxiety in the dental chair.
- Have a fear of injections.

PENTHROX:

An inhalant relaxant. Although Penthrox doesn't 'sedate' the patient, it allows them to feel more at ease and relaxed throughout dental procedures. Penthrox is a fantastic option for those who feel slightly uneasy about dental procedures.

Hypnovel:

Hypnovel comes in liquid form and is taken in milk or water. It lightly sedates patients, preventing any feelings of anxiety. Patients generally don’t remember their dental appointment after having Hypnovel.

NITROUS OXIDE:

Also known as 'happy gas', Nitrous Oxide relaxes patients and make them feel more at ease while in the dental chair. N20 is inhaled with a small mask on the nose and is administered with a combination of Oxygen and Nitrous.

TWIGHLIGHT SEDATION:

Dr Misagh Habibi is a Sedationist we work closely with. This option involves the patient going to Dr Habibi's clinic for Sedation and treatment. Twighlight Sedation is administered intravenously to put the patient to sleep, ensuring they aren't in any discomfort by combining both sedative and pain-relief medications. This is our ‘top-of-the-range' sedation option, suitable for those with a high level of anxiety or dental phobia.

Healthy teeth and gums make for a beautiful smile. You smile - we smile.
