Our team here at Dental Excellence can provide sedation for patients who are nervous about receiving treatment as well as during longer or more complex treatments.
Dental Excellence is able to offer oral and intravenous (IV) sedation services to patients who feel they would be more comfortable receiving treatment this way. For some patients, nerves and phobias surrounding visiting the dentist, or receiving certain treatments can stop them from seeking it out, but with sedation, patients can be treated while feeling calm, relaxed and as though no time has passed.
This type of sedation is also often used on patients when completing longer or more complex treatments, such as root canal treatments, or placing implants as it makes for a more comfortable experience. Sedation is not a painkiller, therefore local anaesthetic will also be used to ensure patients are pain-free throughout.
Sedation allows the patient to remain awake but in a relaxed state – almost as if they have been put into a dreamlike state. Some patients report that they do not even remember the treatment taking place. A friend or family member will need to be present in order to accompany a patient home after receiving sedation.
