Conscious sedation: a safe way past a fear of the dentist

If you feel anxious or on edge every time you have to see a dentist, we have something for you. At the clinic we offer conscious sedation, a safe and effective technique that lets you go through dental treatment completely relaxed and pain-free.

Thanks to this service, many of our patients have been able to get past their fear of the dentist and have regained the confidence to look after their oral health.

What is conscious sedation?

It is a medical technique that brings on deep relaxation through a sedative given intravenously. During treatment:

• You are awake and aware, but deeply relaxed.
• You feel no pain and no anxiety.
• Time seems to pass more quickly.
• You can talk to the clinical team at any point.

The whole procedure is carried out under the supervision of a specialist doctor, with maximum safety and control.

Who is it for?

• Patients with a fear of the dentist or dental phobia.
• People with bad previous experiences at a dental practice.
• Complex or long treatments: implants, extractions or oral surgery.
• People with a strong gag reflex.
• Anyone who simply wants a more comfortable experience.

What happens, step by step

1. First visit and assessment. We review your general health and explain exactly how conscious sedation works.
2. Treatment day. The anaesthetist gives the sedation intravenously. The whole process is monitored.
3. Recovery. You stay under observation for a few minutes and can leave, accompanied, once you have fully recovered.

And afterwards?

With conscious sedation, a trip to the dentist can be comfortable, quick and positive. Book a first informative visit with no obligation and find out whether it is right for you.
