Dental Sedation

Dental phobia is widespread: recent surveys suggest that over 50% of all UK residents are anxious about upcoming dental visits, while 10 - 20% are terrified to the point of complete avoidance. These fears can cause people to compromise their oral health by refusing to have routine check-ups and hygiene visits. If this scenario applies to you, we can make sedation part of your next dental treatment, resulting in a more comfortable process.

Our sedation methods run the gamut from a light ‘twilight sleep‘ that takes the edge off of your anxiety to complete general anaesthesia for more complex dental treatments. Our dentists have the experience and training to provide you with a relaxed treatment experience, so that visiting the dentist is no longer an ordeal to be dreaded on a regular basis.

Some people are simply afraid of the needles used to administer pre-treatment numbing medications. Your dentist can apply a topical anaesthetic to the injection site beforehand, so you don‘t even feel the slight pinch. After the local anaesthetic is injected, the treatment area will be totally numb, so your dental procedure is pain-free.

We have years of experience in providing high-quality dental care for anxious and fearful patients, and pledge to deliver a comfortable treatment in an efficient and professional manner.
