For patients who are anxious or uncomfortable visiting the dentist, sleep dentistry is a great solution to prioritise your comfort and ensure you can still receive treatment. Don’t hold back from procedures you need — get in touch to find out if sleep dentistry is right for you.
Sleep dentistry, sometimes referred to as sedation dentistry, is a technique of using general anaesthetic or other sedative measures to make patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during their dental treatment.
One of sleep dentistry’s main uses is for patients who struggle with dental anxiety, allowing them to complete their treatment without any worry. In some cases, we may also opt to use dental sedation for younger patients and children to ensure they do not feel any fright or worry.
Sleep dentistry may be an appropriate solution for patients who struggle with a low pain threshold or experience significant teeth sensitivity. Sedation dentistry can help to relax the patient and reduce how much they are able to feel during their treatment. We may also suggest dental sedation for patients who struggle to lie still in the dental chair for lengthy appointments.
There are a variety of treatments that are recommended under general anaesthetic, including full arch dental implants, dental implants with grafting or oral surgery, as well as wisdom tooth extractions.
Regularly visiting the dentist is important for lifelong oral health, but this can be overwhelming for a variety of reasons. If you experience anxiety at the dentist or are sensitive to the sounds made by dental instruments, using sedation dentistry can be helpful to make for an easier interaction between dentist and patient.
Sleep dentistry also ensures that the dentist can work more easily through complex procedures, and often more efficiently, with patients not reacting as much to the different tools and techniques being used. Overall, sleep dentistry enhances oral health and creates a more positive relationship with your dentist.

Sleep dentistry is a very safe practice when administered by experienced and medically qualified anaesthetic specialists. You will be closely monitored during treatment to ensure your health is prioritised. Avoiding the dentist can also lead to a variety of consequences, including infection and tooth decay. If being sedated to some degree is the best way for you to feel comfortable at the dentist and receive these treatments, sleep dentistry is a much safer option than avoiding the treatments completely.
The cost of sleep dentistry will vary depending on the treatment you are undergoing while you are sedated, and the type of sedation you and your dentist decide is best.
