What is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation involves the use of medication to help you relax during dental procedures. You remain conscious but feel significantly less aware of the treatment process. Sedation is not a painkiller, so local anaesthetic is still used to numb the treatment area.
Types of Sedation
At EverySmile, we provide two safe and effective methods
Inhalation Sedation (Nitrous Oxide)
Cost: £195
This method involves breathing in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a small mask placed over the nose. Often referred to as “happy gas”, it produces a mild level of sedation and a feeling of relaxation.
- Fast-acting and wears off within minutes
- Ideal for mild to moderate anxiety
- Suitable for both adults and children
- No lasting side effects; patients can typically resume normal activity shortly after
IV Sedation (Intravenous Sedation)
Cost: £250 per hour
IV sedation delivers a sedative drug directly into a vein, usually in your hand or arm, offering a deeper level of sedation. You will remain conscious but will be less aware of your surroundings and may not remember the procedure.
- Recommended for higher levels of anxiety
- Ideal for lengthy or complex treatments
- Effects can last for several hours
- Requires an adult escort; patients must not drive, drink alcohol, or operate machinery for 24 hours
Who Should Consider Sedation?
Dental sedation is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those who:
- Experience severe dental phobia or anxiety
- Require extensive or multiple dental procedures
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Find it difficult to stay still for long periods
- Have sensitive teeth or gums
- Suffer from previous traumatic dental experiences
We take the time to understand your concerns and offer solutions that are safe, medically appropriate and effective.
