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.
