We recognise that dentistry is still a source of anxiety to a lot of patients no matter what age – but that needn’t be the case in this day and age. Technological advancements have not just improved the materials used but also the method. We provide a safe environment for our patients with referral for or general anaesthetic, if all other possibilities are exhausted. Our range of pain management and sedation options help make treatments as painless and stress-free as possible. 

 

Many types of patients can be helped using sedation dentistry including: children who are afraid or too young to have long dental appointments, patients not wishing to have the sight, sounds and smells of the dental clinic, patients with a heightened gag reflex and patients who have trouble receiving local anaesthesia.

 

What sedation options are available?
