What to expect

Safe, monitored sedation options

  • Intravenous (IV) sedation

    IV sedation uses a carefully controlled medication to help you feel deeply relaxed during treatment. Your vital signs are continuously monitored throughout, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience from beginning to end.

  • Inhalation sedation

    Also known as “happy air,” this gentle form of sedation is inhaled through a mask, helping you feel calm and at ease. It’s a light, fast-acting option that wears off quickly after your appointment.

  • Oral sedation

    Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help reduce anxiety. It allows you to feel relaxed and comfortable while remaining conscious and able to respond during treatment.

FAQs

Your questions about dental sedation, answered

Can I drive home after sedation?

For most types of sedation, you’ll need someone to accompany you home, as you may feel drowsy afterwards. We’ll advise you clearly based on the type of sedation you receive.

Is sedation safe?

Yes — sedation is very safe when carried out by trained professionals. We monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure everything remains stable and controlled.

Will I be asleep during sedation?

No, most forms of dental sedation keep you relaxed but conscious. You’ll remain responsive, but feel much more at ease throughout your treatment.

Is sedation only for very anxious patients?

No — sedation can also benefit patients with a strong gag reflex or those undergoing longer procedures. It’s designed to make treatment more comfortable for a wide range of needs.
