Frequently Asked Questions

Most healthy adults are suitable. Your clinician will review your medical history, medications, and any conditions to determine the safest sedation option.

  • RA (laughing gas): You remain awake but very relaxed. You may feel light or tingly.

  • IV sedation: You are deeply relaxed and may feel drowsy; many patients remember little or nothing of the procedure.

  • Avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before your appointment (specific instructions vary).

  • Wear comfortable clothing and arrange transport if required.

  • Bring any relevant medical details or medication list.

  • RA (nitrous oxide): Usually safe to drive once fully alert.

  • IV sedation: You’ll need someone to accompany you home and stay with you until you’re fully alert.

Sedation keeps you calm, but we still use local anaesthetic to numb the area. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during treatment.

Yes. Sedation is very safe when administered by trained professionals. We monitor your vital signs throughout, follow strict clinical guidelines, and tailor the level of sedation to your health and comfort.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is a safe way to help you feel deeply relaxed during dental treatment. You may feel drowsy or even drift in and out of awareness – all while our trained team monitors you closely.

Key benefits:

  • Reduces anxiety and stress

  • Ideal for longer or more complex procedures

  • Safe for most adults

  • Allows treatment to be completed comfortably in fewer visits

How it works:
A small cannula is placed in your hand or arm to deliver the sedation. We carefully adjust the level so you feel calm and comfortable throughout your procedure.

After treatment:
You’ll recover under supervision and need someone to accompany you home. Most patients feel relaxed and comfortable, with minimal after-effects.

Inhalation (RA) Sedation

Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is a gentle way to help you feel calm and relaxed during dental treatment. You stay awake, breathe normally, and may feel light, tingly, or pleasantly sleepy – all while we care for your teeth safely.

Key benefits:

  • Reduces anxiety and stress

  • Quick-acting and wears off fast

  • Safe for most adults and some children

  • Allows you to stay conscious and respond during treatment

How it works:
You breathe the gas through a small mask. We adjust the dose so you feel comfortable while we perform your care.

After treatment:
You recover quickly and can usually go home or drive shortly after – no long-lasting effects.
