Relaxed treatment with sedation dentistry

Sedation dentistry can help reduce anxiety and discomfort during a wide range of dental treatments. Depending on your needs, we may recommend options such as mild oral sedation or IV sedation, alongside local anaesthetic.
Why choose sedation?

Benefits of sedation dentistry

Helps you feel calm and in control throughout your visit.

Makes longer or more complex appointments feel easier.

Ideal for dental phobia

A great option for patients who avoid the dentist due to fear.

Fewer appointments

Sedation can help you complete treatment efficiently, sometimes in fewer visits.

Tailored to you

We’ll recommend the safest option based on your medical history and treatment needs.

Everything you need to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Find straightforward answers to the most common questions about our treatments, processes and care.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Sedation is safe for most patients when provided by trained clinicians. We assess your medical history to ensure the safest option for you.
Will I be asleep during sedation?
Most sedation options keep you relaxed and drowsy rather than fully asleep. You’ll still be able to respond, and many patients remember very little afterwards.
Can I drive home after sedation?
No. If you have oral or IV sedation, you’ll need a responsible adult to escort you home and stay with you for a period afterwards.
Is sedation suitable for nervous patients?
Yes. Sedation is often ideal for nervous patients, those with a strong gag reflex, or anyone who finds treatment difficult.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly for a consultation, and we’ll recommend the best option for you.
