Our Sedation Options

IV sedation

Intravenous (IV) sedation is a form of sedation dentistry where medications are given to patients through their vein by a specialist anaesthetist. It is sometimes called conscious or twilight sedation.


It is the most predictable form of sedation where small amounts of medications are administered till the desired state of drowsiness is achieved. With IV sedation, all of your reflexes remain intact meaning you will be able to breathe normally. This is simpler than a general anaesthetic where an anaesthetist would need to provide assistance with your breathing.


Oral sedation

Oral sedation is prescribed by dentists to relieve anxiety in the hours leading up to a dental appointment. It is usually administered in the form of anti-anxiety pills. During your dental treatment, you will be escorted by our friendly staff to the dental treatment area and seated in the dental chair. The anaesthetist will carefully monitor your vital signs during the entire treatment.


The primary reason oral sedation is recommended is to reduce anxiety during your dental treatment and does not specifically provide any pain-relieving qualities. It is usually used in conjunction with other sedation dentistry treatments.


Don’t hesitate to receive the dental work you require to achieve a beautiful smile and optimal oral health because of dental anxiety. With our virtually pain free dentistry we can ensure you are comfortable and relaxed. Once our team has assessed your oral concern, we can prescribe you with the specific pain management option that is best suited to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are some side effects of being sedated by the dentist?

    During the initial stages of laughing gas sedation, you may feel a little bit giggly and soothed. With conscious sedation, which many dentists use, there may be a few side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness and nausea. The last method of sedation is sleep sedation. This method will place you into an unconscious state and you will not remember the procedure at all. Sleep sedation may leave you temporarily disorientated or nauseous.

  • Can you eat or drink before receiving sedation dentistry?

    For most forms of procedures and dental sedation, you will be given some form of dietary restrictions by your dentist. If medications in general tend to make you feel a bit ill, then avoiding food beforehand may help prevent an upset stomach.
