Sedation in Wibsey
Let’s be honest—most people wouldn’t list dental appointments as their favourite activity.
Sound relatable? We understand that for some, visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming, whether it’s due to dental anxiety, a phobia, or the idea of undergoing a long procedure.
That’s why our sedation services in Wibsey are designed to make your experience as calm, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
What is sedation?
In simple terms, sedation uses safe, mild medications to help you stay relaxed during dental treatment.
Unlike general anaesthesia, which makes you completely unconscious, sedation—or ‘conscious sedation’—allows you to remain awake yet deeply at ease.
It feels like being in a dreamlike state, free of worry, and with little to no memory of the procedure once it’s done.
Why choose us for sedation?
Here’s why you can choose us for conscious sedation in Wibsey:
A relaxing, welcoming environment
We’ve reimagined what a dental practice can feel like, creating a space that’s calming and inviting.
Personalised comfort
You can choose to listen to your favourite music, wrap up in a blanket, or use noise-cancelling headphones to help you feel more at ease.
‘Little box of calm’
Every treatment room is equipped with stress-relief tools like fidget toys, ear plugs, and stress balls to help reduce anxiety.
A tranquil atmosphere
Forget the typical ‘hospital smell.’ Instead, enjoy soothing scents from wax melts and plug-ins that make our practice feel more like home.
Advanced pain-free tools
We’ve invested in state-of-the-art technology, such as Quick Sleeper systems and numbing gels, to make every aspect of your sedation and treatment as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
Who can benefit from sedation?
Sedation isn’t a requirement for every dental procedure. Our team is skilled in using advanced pain-free techniques and distraction methods to help you feel at ease during treatment.
Sedation is usually reserved for situations where it’s genuinely needed, ensuring every experience is personalised to your comfort and specific requirements. However, conscious sedation in Wibsey is suited for patients who:
- Struggle with severe dental anxiety or fear of dental procedures.
- Feel uneasy about needles, drills, or the sounds of dental instruments.
- Have a sensitive gag reflex, making certain treatments more challenging.
- Find it difficult to sit still during longer procedures.
- Require complex or multiple treatments in one visit, such as full-mouth dental implants or advanced options like all-on-4 or all-on-6 implants.
Consultation
We’ll start with a detailed conversation about your medical history, anxiety levels, and treatment needs. This helps us determine whether sedation is right for you.
LOAD MORE LESS
We’ll also explain the process in simple terms and answer any questions you might have to ensure you feel confident and reassured.
The sedation process
Sedation is administered either as tablets or through IV (a small injection) by our experienced professionals.
LOAD MORE LESS
The sedative takes effect quickly, helping you feel deeply relaxed and at ease.
During the procedure, our team will continuously monitor you to guarantee your safety and comfort.
Recovery
Once your treatment is completed, you’ll relax in a quiet, comfortable space while the sedative effects wear off.
LOAD MORE LESS
Although you’ll feel awake and ready to continue your day shortly after, we recommend having a friend or family member take you home, as mild sedation effects can linger for a few hours.
