Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options for nervous patients and longer procedures, from nitrous oxide to general anaesthesia where appropriate.
Overview
Feeling anxious about the dentist is very common. Sometimes talking it through and taking things at your pace is enough. For some people and some procedures, sedation can make treatment much easier.
Whether sedation is suitable depends on your health, the treatment you need and your preferences. We will assess you carefully and explain the options, the preparation and the aftercare before anything is booked.
What it can include
- Nitrous oxide sedation
- Oral conscious sedation
- IV sedation
- General anaesthesia

Common questions about sedation dentistry
Will I be asleep?
With nitrous oxide, oral or IV sedation you stay conscious but relaxed and may remember little afterwards. Only general anaesthesia puts you fully to sleep.
Is sedation safe?
Sedation is widely used and is safe for most people when it is carried out with proper assessment and monitoring. It is not suitable for everyone, so we check your health first and will explain any risks.
