Sedation Dentistry To Ease Dental Procedures
Book Your Consultation
Sedation Dentistry
If the thought of a dental appointment causes fear or anxiety, you’re not alone. Many adults and children experience dental anxiety, often due to negative past experiences. This fear can make even routine visits seem overwhelming, and some people may choose to endure pain rather than seek dental care.
Sedation dentistry offers a solution for those who are too anxious to undergo necessary dental procedures. This approach helps patients remain calm and relaxed, whether for an invasive treatment or a routine cleaning. Also known as sleep dentistry, it provides a stress-free experience for both children and adults. There are different levels of sedation available, depending on the needs of the patient.
Nitrous Oxide
We provide Nitrous oxide sedation which is a mild and least invasive sedative commonly known as a laughing gas. It helps patients to relax more during dental procedures.
General Anaesthesia
This is suitable for both adults and older children and ensures a complete pain-free dental procedure. This is done in the hospital. When it comes to sedation dentistry, people of almost all ages benefit from it.

Oral sedatives may have a lingering effect, so patients typically need someone to drive them home.
