For many people, dental treatment can feel daunting.

If you’re an anxious patient, the thought of instruments, sounds, and time in the chair can be enough to delay booking altogether. Sedation dentistry is designed to change that — creating an experience where you can receive the care you need in a state of deep calm and comfort.

Patients often tell us they’re surprised at just how easy it feels, and how much more confident they are about future visits once they’ve experienced it.

Sedation dentistry – comfort at the core

Today’s sedation methods are light-years ahead of old-fashioned approaches. Whether you’re here for a quick treatment or a longer, more complex procedure, sedation allows you to stay relaxed and unbothered throughout.

Instead of tensing through every moment, you’ll feel as though time passes quickly. For many, the details of the appointment are hazy afterwards, which can be a relief if nerves have been building for weeks.

Peacock Dental Spa

Sedation dentistry – what it involves

Sedation dentistry uses carefully chosen medication to keep you calm while still conscious and able to respond if needed. It’s tailored to your level of anxiety and the treatment you’re having. We offer:

  • IV sedation: Administered directly into your bloodstream via a very small cannula on the back of the hand or the inside of your elbow (very different from intimidatingly large needles of the past!) for deep, fast-acting relaxation.

The advantages of sedation dentistry

Sedation isn’t just about avoiding nerves – it can also make your treatment more efficient and your recovery smoother, too. Here are a few other reasons why our patients go for sedation:

  • Removes feelings of fear and tension: Making each step more manageable.
  • Makes longer procedures feel shorter: Great for complex treatments.
  • Allows more work in fewer visits: Saving time and hassle.
  • Helps reduce strong gag reflexes: Creating a more comfortable experience.
  • Encourages regular dental care: Because the experience is far less stressful.

The process step-by-step

  1. Initial discussion: We learn about your concerns, your medical history, and the best approach for you.
  2. Preparation: You’ll receive instructions tailored to your sedation.
  3. Sedation administration: In the calming treatment room.
  4. Treatment carried out: While you remain calm and free from anxiety.
  5. Post-treatment rest: You’ll stay in our care until you’re ready to go home.
  6. Aftercare check-in: We follow up to ensure you’re comfortable and recovering well.

Our commitment to you

  • Stress-free environment: We create a calm atmosphere from the moment you arrive.
  • Prompt appointments: No unnecessary delays before treatment.
  • Continuous monitoring: Your safety is always under watch.
  • Clear, supportive communication: No confusing jargon, just straightforward explanations.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

Will I be fully asleep?

No. Sedation keeps you in a deeply relaxed state, but you are still able to respond to simple prompts.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes — it’s delivered and monitored by trained professionals, with your safety and wellbeing as the top priority.

How soon does it wear off?

You’ll begin to feel more alert within a few hours, but you’ll need a responsible adult to take you home. Most people feel completely normal the next day.

Can I eat before my appointment?

Instructions vary depending on the type of sedation, and you’ll be given clear, personalised guidance before treatment day.
