Oral sedation – Oral sedation is relatively simple and involves taking a prescribed medication about an hour prior to starting your dental treatment. You’ll feel more relaxed, yet completely aware of your surroundings during treatment.

Nitrous oxide – As you are seated in the chair, you’ll be instructed to inhale the gas before our dentist starts the dental procedure. Additional nitrous can be administered throughout your procedure to keep you in a state of euphoria. At the end of your treatment, once we stop the nitrous oxide, you will be back to normal and out of your sedated state.

IV Sedation – If IV sedation is right for you, you’ll be instructed to avoid foods and beverages altogether the night before your treatment. A sedative will be administered to you intravenously prior to your procedure, causing you to fall into a deeper conscious sedated state. Our visiting anaesthetist will monitor you throughout the procedure and adjust dosage as needed.

Please ensure that you do not drive after the appointment. Please bring a family member or a friend along. You may need to be supervised for several hours after the procedure.
