Our Sedation Dentistry Options

Happy Gas (Nitrous Oxide)

Happy gas is a gentle form of conscious sedation that helps you feel calm and relaxed during treatment. The effects wear off quickly after your appointment, allowing most patients to return to normal activities soon afterwards.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves prescribed medication taken before your appointment to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation throughout treatment.

IV Sedation

IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation while allowing you to continue responding to instructions during treatment. It is often recommended for patients with significant dental anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures.

Local Anaesthetic

Local anaesthetic is used alongside sedation when required to ensure treatment is comfortable and pain-free.
