If the thought of visiting the dentist fills you with unease, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety and phobia affect many people, often making it difficult to seek the necessary dental care. At Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth, we understand these concerns and offer personalised sedation dentistry options designed to help you feel relaxed, comfortable, and supported throughout your visit.
Whether you are preparing for a complex dental procedure or simply feel overwhelmed by the dental environment, our sedation solutions aim to give you control over your experience, eliminating pain, panic, and pressure.
Sedation dentistry uses carefully controlled medications to help ease anxiety and reduce discomfort during dental treatments. At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we provide two trusted forms of sedation to suit different needs and preferences:
Oral Sedation
This method involves taking a prescription tablet the night before your appointment, again the morning of, and about an hour before your treatment. Oral sedation gently relaxes your body and mind while keeping you awake but feeling drowsy and calm. You will remain aware of your surroundings, but the experience will be much more comfortable. For your safety, you will need a responsible adult to accompany you, as driving is not recommended while under sedation.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
Administered by a trained professional, IV sedation allows for a deeper state of relaxation. Many patients find they have little to no memory of the procedure afterward. This form of sedation is especially helpful for those with intense anxiety or when undergoing longer, more involved treatments such as same-day smile restorations. In certain cases, additional medications may be given to minimise any discomfort or swelling after the procedure.
Before any sedation is administered, our team will have a thorough discussion with you to determine the safest and most effective sedation plan, taking into account your medical history and personal comfort.
