SEDATION
FROM £400 PER HOUR
WHAT IS
SEDATION?
Conscious sedation is the process of relieving the anxiety associated with dental treatment through the provision of safe and effective drugs whilst remaining fully conscious. This results in you, the patient, being more comfortable during dental treatment with the additional benefit of reducing pain.
It is a very safe and effective alternative to a general anaesthetic due to the reduced recovery time and side effects of the stronger drugs used during a general anaesthetic.
Conscious sedation is the perfect choice for patients who are anxious or have phobias of the dentist. Any dental procedure can be carried out under conscious sedation and it can benefit people with a severe gag reflex, anxiety and dental phobia.

Minimise recovery time, discomfort and anxiety
