Dental sedation is an effective way to help patients feel at ease during treatment, whether they experience anxiety or require support for lengthy or complex procedures. It ensures a more comfortable experience while allowing patients to choose the best treatment options without being restricted to simple or emergency care.
Sedation is often described as ‘aware but don’t care’—you will feel deeply relaxed while remaining responsive to instructions from your dentist. Unlike general anaesthesia, IV sedation does not render you unconscious. Instead, it creates a state of calm and deep relaxation, often resulting in partial or complete memory loss of the procedure. Many patients feel as though they have slept through their treatment.
