IV Sedation

We often hear patients saying that they would love to regularly visit the dentist, but their fear holds them back. We understand your situation and try our best to make the whole experience a pleasant one. We have tried to create a very homely atmosphere; be it the waiting area or the treatment rooms. Our gentle and caring team will strive our best to allay your fears.

We have several options for patients with anxiety or phobias: 

  • Inhalation sedation, or happy gas
  • IV sedation, or sleep dentistry

Intravenous sedation or sleep dentistry is a popular mode of dental treatment. It involves putting a person to sleep with a sedative administered with a tiny needle in the arm. It requires a qualified anaesthetist who administers the medication and monitors the patient throughout the procedure.

Sedation is advised for:

  • Patients with extreme anxiety or apprehension
  • Dental phobia
  • Extensive treatment involving surgical procedures
  • Removal of wisdom teeth especially all four in a single appointment
