Relax And Feel At Ease
Sedation dentistry offers a safe and effective way to feel calm and comfortable during dental treatments.
Dental anxiety should never stand in the way of a healthy smile. Whether you experience mild nervousness or severe dental fear, our sedation options ensure a stress-free experience while receiving the care you need.
Take control of your oral health without fear.
Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as happy gas, is a fast-acting and mild sedative administered safely while you are seated in the dental chair. It helps you feel calm and relaxed throughout your dental procedure, while remaining awake and responsive. The effects wear off shortly after treatment, so you can typically return to your daily activities without downtime.
This form of sedation is suitable for both children and adults. It is particularly helpful for patients with mild dental anxiety or those undergoing longer or more complex procedures.
For patients needing deeper sedation, we offer referrals for oral sedation, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anaesthesia through trusted specialist partners.

Faqs
Yes. It is a well-established, safe form of sedation that is commonly used in dental clinics. It’s fast-acting, gentle, and wears off quickly after the procedure.
Have questions? Our team is happy to explain everything during your consultation.
With IV sedation, you will enter a deeply relaxed state but remain responsive. General anaesthesia, available via referral, puts you in a fully unconscious state.
Let us know your concerns, and we’ll recommend the best option for your needs.
The duration varies. IV sedation effects can last for several hours, while general anaesthesia requires a longer recovery time. We will guide you on post-sedation care to ensure a smooth recovery.
Have questions about recovery? Contact us for detailed guidance.
No, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure. The sedative effects take time to wear off, so we recommend arranging transportation in advance.
