Oral Sedation

The administration of an oral sedative tablet taken approximately 90 minutes prior to treatment. This tablet is provided by our clinic and reduces anxiety to make your treatment more comfortable.

Please note: You cannot drive home following this type of sedation, nor should you make any legal decisions for 24 hours.

IV Sedation

Also known as sleep dentistry is carried out in our clinic by a Dental Sedationist (Dr Nancy Chen). A calming drug is administered into a vein and you will feel deeply relaxed and your anxiety will be greatly reduced. You are still conscious throughout your procedure.

Please note: You cannot drive home following this type of sedation, someone MUST escort you home and stay with you. You cannot fly nor should you make any legal decisions for 24 hours. There are also strict fasting rules which if not followed will cause your procedure to be cancelled.

Nitrous Oxide

We now offer Nitrous Oxide (laughing or happy gas) as a sedative to keep you comfortable during procedures. This is a colourless, faintly sweet-smelling gas that you breathe in through a nose-piece.

Please note: Unlike other sedation options, you will be able to drive shortly after receiving Nitrous Oxide.
