What is sleep and sedation dentistry?

If the dentist makes you anxious, you’re not alone. Around 1 in 6 Australians feel the same way – and for many, it’s the main reason they’ve been putting off treatment.

Sleep dentistry uses sedation to help you feel calm and relaxed during your procedure. Depending on what suits you, you might feel like you’re in a light sleep – or not remember the visit at all!

You’ll have a qualified Australian anaesthetist with you the whole time, and your dental team will explain everything before anything happens. No surprises, no rushing.

If anxiety has been holding you back from getting the care you need, this could be the option that changes everything.

For patients who feel nervous or overwhelmed

Dental anxiety and past dental experiences can make treatment feel impossible. We get it.

Sleep and sedation dentistry allows you to stay relaxed or asleep during treatment. Highly qualified Australian anaesthetists oversee your care in our purpose-equipped facilities.

Everything you need, handled in one place

Before treatment, you’ll complete a medical history form and have a phone call with the anaesthetist to make sure everything is understood.

On the day, you arrive in comfortable clothing, go to sleep safely, and wake up with your treatment completed – including implants and temporary teeth where required.

With supportive care and flexible payment options, many patients feel ready to move forward without fear.
