Sleep Dentistry
We strive to make all our patients as comfortable as possible. The clinic has been designed and built to accommodate this. We offer the following:
-
Nitrous oxide
Also known as “happy gas". This form of sedation is ideal for mild dental anxiety and is excellent for minor surgical procedures (e.g. tooth removal) for any patient. The patient wears a nosepiece and inhales the gas which produces a calming and pleasant sensation.
-
General anaesthetic
This is when patients are given drugs to produce a reversable loss of consciousness. Patients will not be aware of any stage of the procedure and will be entirely pain free. This is performed by an experienced anaesthetist and is conducted in Day Surgery in hospital. This is most appropriate for complex dental implant surgery (such as All on 4), having multiple teeth removed, or any dental procedure for the profoundly phobic patient.
