At Kew Dentistry we offer three options: happy gas (nitrous oxide), intravenous (IV) sedation, and general anaesthetic.
Sedation Options
To determine your needs, we’ll start with a standard consultation and examination. Whether sedation suits you depends on your health, your medical history and the treatment you need.
Who might consider sedation?
Dental anxiety or fear
Gag reflex concerns
Patients having a longer procedure planned
Sedation options at Kew Dentistry
No matter what the source of your unease may be, at Kew Dentistry we can perform procedures under general anaesthetic, intravenous sedation or happy gas sedation.
Sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It can benefit those with dental anxiety, a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex or those needing extensive dental work.
All sedation carries some risk. We reduce that risk by reviewing your medical history, monitoring you throughout the procedure and having specialist anaesthetist give IV sedation and general anaesthetic. We'll talk you through your individual risks at your consultation.
