Our Sedation Services

Wisdom Teeth Removal under General Anaesthetic

Gentle Care for Complex Extractions

We understand that wisdom teeth removal can feel daunting, which is why we offer the option of sleeping peacefully through your procedure. Our caring team works with experienced anaesthetists to ensure your complete comfort and safety. Whether you're having one or all wisdom teeth removed, you can rest easy knowing you're in gentle, skilled hands.

Implant Placement under General Anaesthetic

Wake Up to Your New Smile

Creating your new smile should be a comfortable experience. For more extensive implant procedures, we offer the option of general anaesthetic, letting you rest peacefully while we complete your treatment. Our team's expertise, combined with specialist anaesthetic care, ensures a smooth journey to your restored smile.

Conscious Sedation

Relaxed Care for Anxious Patients

Calm and Relaxed Dental Visits for patients who feel anxious about dental treatment, we offer conscious sedation options designed to make your visit as comfortable as possible. This may include inhalation sedation during your appointment, or, in selected cases, a mild oral sedative taken beforehand to help you feel calm and relaxed. You'll remain awake and able to communication throughout your procedure, but most patients find themselves feeling noticeably more relaxed and at ease.

Fillings under General Anaesthetic

Multiple Treatments, One Peaceful Visit

Sometimes, especially when several fillings are needed or for our younger patients who find it hard to sit still, general anaesthetic offers the perfect solution. This approach allows us to complete all your required dental work in a single visit while you sleep soundly. It's particularly helpful for our local families with children who need extensive treatment, or adults who prefer to have everything done at once.

Frequently Asked Sedation Questions

Yes, all our sedation services are delivered with your safety as our top priority. Our team works alongside qualified anaesthetists, and we carefully assess your medical history before recommending any form of sedation. We use modern monitoring equipment and follow strict safety protocols throughout your treatment.

This depends on the type of sedation you receive. With general anaesthetic, yes, you’ll be completely asleep. With oral sedation, you’ll remain conscious but feel very relaxed and comfortable. During your consultation, we’ll explain exactly what to expect from your chosen sedation method.

Recovery times vary depending on the type of sedation used. General anaesthetic typically requires a few hours of recovery, while oral sedation effects may last several hours after your procedure. We’ll provide specific timeline information based on your treatment plan.

For your safety, you’ll need someone to drive you home after any form of sedation (except for happy gas/nitrous oxide). We recommend having a family member or friend accompany you to your appointment and stay with you for a few hours afterwards.

Most patients experience minimal side effects from sedation. You might feel a bit drowsy afterwards, and some people experience mild nausea or fuzzy memory of the procedure. Our team will explain any potential side effects during your consultation and provide detailed aftercare instructions.

Coverage for sedation varies depending on your health fund and the type of procedure being performed. Our friendly team can help you understand your coverage and discuss payment options before your treatment. We can also provide item numbers to check with your health fund.
