Sedation Dentistry: Comfortable Care for Nervous Patients

At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we understand that you may need some extra help over and above our spa environment. Sedation treatments offer a variety of methods to reduce anxiety. We can offer:

Oral sedation

This medication prescription can be taken one tablet the night before, the morning of, and one hour before your appointment. You will be a bit drowsy, and you must not drive and are accompanied to your appointment.

Intravenous sedation

This is very popular if you are nervous or phobic about dental care. The sedation is provided by a trained professional and can be deep or light. Many of our same-day smile cases utilise this form of sedation. You are unaware of having the treatment. We can also use other medications with the sedation in some instances, providing enhanced pain relief and reducing any post-operative swelling. Again, a chaperone is essential, and we can provide this service if required.

Your dentist and treatment coordinator can discuss all of the above options and advise of their suitability, considering any existing medical conditions.

Who Is Sedation Dentistry For?

Sedation dentistry is perfect for:

  • Patients with dental anxiety or phobia.
  • Those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures.
  • Individuals with a low pain threshold or difficulty staying still during treatment.
  • Anyone looking for a more comfortable and stress-free dental experience.
