Sedation Therapy
We appreciate that sometimes, despite dentistry being more comfortable than ever before, you may still feel you need an extra helping hand to get through an appointment or procedure. That’s fine.
Our sedation therapies can give you that extra help. We offer both oral and intravenous sedation, both of which make you feel pleasantly relaxed and calm throughout a treatment. Time will seem to pass more quickly and you will remember less about the treatment afterwards. You can chose which sedation techniques, oral or intravenous, suits you best.
Oral sedation involves taking medicine either in tablet or syrup form, while intravenous sedation means having an injection in the arm.
The intravenous method is the more predictable, more powerful and the quickest acting of the two.
With both methods you will still be conscious and will maintain enough control to be able to speak with the dental team and to rinse your mouth out.
A friend or relative will need to come with you to sedation appointments and you will need to avoid driving or being in a position of responsibility afterwards.
If you would like to know more about sedation therapy, please talk with us, we’ll be happy to help.
