Dental Sedation @ Dental Phobia

dental sedation- fear of dentist

Are you anxious about visiting dentist but you dream about having a great smile? Or maybe you now yu need some dental work done but anxiety overpowers you?

Being afraid of dentist means different things to different people. For some people it’s fear of needle, drill, pain, sounds or smell. For some idea of visiting dentist brings back memories of bad experence in the childhood.

If you feel this way then we have a solution for you! Its called Dental sedation.

But what is dental sedation? Dental sedation or sedation dentistry is a process used to establish a relaxed, easy and calm state of your mind through the use of sedatives. They will make you feel very relaxed in dreamlike state whilist having the treatment carrieout without having all the sides effects of neral anaesthesia.

” you are not actually sleeping…

    but its a really nice feeling “

(Robert V)

In most of cases you will not be aware of what is happening due to deep relaxation. You are also not likely to remember anything from the treatment time.

And the best part is that very often all necessary treatment can be carried t in one session only.

” All I can remember was speaking to the docor 10-15 min before”

One of the major benefits of dental sedation is that people often feel like their dental procedure lasted only few minutes, when in fact it might have taken hours to perfrom.

But What treatment can be done under sedation?

Here is the list of the most common treatments we are carrying out under dental sedation:

  • dental hygiene
  • fillings
  • extractions ( single or multiple teeth removal)
  • implant placement
  • gum and laser treatments including lser gum reshaping
  • full mouth reconstractions like “teeth in a day ” procedures ( all on 4)
  • crowns, bridges, venees (these are a  stages treatment so you may require 2 sessions of sedation)

Over the past year we have completed multiple simple and complex treatments for patients with dental phobia by using relaxation techniques and dental sedation!

We are working closely with Glasgow based Dr Ferhan Ahmed whose experience in providing sedation is second to none having worked at a hospital applying dental sedation countless times.
We are also very proud to announce that recently we have received a title of Dental Phobia Certified Clinic and are the only one Clinic holding a title north of Edinburgh.
