Quote LeftI was extremely anxious about having a wisdom tooth extracted and Mike suggested the option of "conscious sedation" to help me through it. I was delighted with the result. The anaesthetist and surgeon were both kind and calm and explained everything to me at the beginning. I was completely unaware of the procedure at the time and have had no memory of it since. I was soon back at home where I had a good sleep for a few hours and then had no after effects whatsoever. I didn't even need to take a painkiller.Quote Right

Types of Dental Sedation

We understand that everyone’s comfort needs are unique. That’s why we offer a range of sedation options to help you feel at ease during your treatment. If you are looking for dental sedation in Surbiton, here’s how we can help:

Oral Sedation

You take a pill before your appointment to help you relax. This method is simple and effective for easing anxiety.

Inhalation Sedation

Often known as laughing gas, this method involves inhaling a gentle sedative during your treatment. It works quickly to calm your nerves and wears off soon after your procedure.

Intravenous (IV) Sedation

For a deeper level of relaxation, we offer IV sedation. Here, the sedative drug is injected in a controlled manner directly into your bloodstream, allowing us to tailor the sedation to your needs throughout the treatment.

Our team of dentists and nurses are specially trained to deliver this type of sedation and will make sure that you are safe and comfortable at all times during your visit.

FAQs

What does conscious sedation mean?

Conscious sedation is a technique that helps you relax during your dental treatment. It doesn’t put you completely to sleep; instead, it keeps you calm and aware so you can respond if needed while feeling comfortable throughout your procedure.

Is conscious sedation safe?

Yes, conscious sedation is very safe when administered by trained professionals. Here at The Dental Connection, our experienced dentists carefully monitor your vital signs and overall comfort during the treatment to ensure a secure and pleasant experience.

Do I need to fast before conscious sedation?

In most cases, you will be asked to avoid eating for a few hours before your appointment. The exact fasting requirements can vary based on the type of sedation used, so our team will provide you with clear, personalised instructions before your treatment.

Can I drive after conscious sedation?

No, you should not drive after receiving sedation. The sedative effects can linger and affect your reaction time and coordination. We recommend arranging for someone to drive you home or using alternative transportation.

How long will the effects of conscious sedation last?

The sedative effects typically wear off within a few hours after your appointment. However, you may still feel a bit drowsy for the rest of the day, so it’s best to rest and avoid activities that require full alertness.
