At Shoppingtown Dental, we cater to nervous patients and offer numerous sedation options at our Doncaster clinic that help you relax and get the care you need. Our dentists are experienced and qualified to deliver safe dental sedation tailored to your needs.
Our Dental Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide (Inhalation Sedation)
Also called laughing gas or happy gas, nitrous oxide provides gentle yet effective relaxation during dental procedures. Nitrous is a safe, slightly sweet-smelling gas blended with oxygen and inhaled through a small, comfortable nose mask, providing swift relaxation and feelings of calm and well-being. The effects dissipate quickly after treatment so you can safely drive home from your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
This sedation involves taking a relaxing medication about an hour before your appointment. When you arrive at our clinic, you will feel the comfortable, drowsy effects taking hold. You will remain fully conscious during your procedure but feel so relaxed that you may drift off to sleep. This medication stays in your system for several hours, so you will need someone to drive you home safely.
General Anaesthesia
Many people avoid dentistry because their fears are simply too overwhelming. We don’t want anyone to forego necessary dental care due to anxiety and are pleased to offer general anaesthesia safely administered by a qualified anaesthetist in a controlled setting.
