Sedation for nervous patients
Dental anxiety stops many people getting the care they need. Conscious sedation helps you feel deeply relaxed during treatment while staying able to respond to your dentist, so you can finally get your teeth sorted.
Sedation consultation £60 · First hour £450 · Each additional hour £350
12-month interest-free finance available, subject to status.
Sedation reduces anxiety so treatment feels much more manageable.
Because you're relaxed, it's often possible to complete more treatment in a single appointment.
Many patients remember little of the procedure afterwards, though this varies.
However long it's been since your last visit, our team will go at your pace.
We talk through your worries, check your medical history and confirm whether sedation is safe and suitable for you.
You'll need a responsible adult to bring you, take you home and stay with you afterwards. We'll give you written instructions.
Sedation is given and monitored throughout by trained staff while your dentist carries out treatment.
You rest at the practice until you're ready to go home. Plan to take the rest of the day off and avoid driving.
Fantastic dentist!
So caring and considerate, just perfect. Always puts me at ease as soon as I walk into the room.
Makes me feel at ease!
Also an extremely anxious patient here, first met him years ago at an NHS dentist. I have moved to 3 different practices as he has to ensure I can stay under his care. He makes me feel completely at ease and is such a lovely gentleman. An absolute credit to the practice and profession! Thank you Mr Parker.
Great dentist!
Awww Mr Parker. A great dentist.
No. Conscious sedation is not a general anaesthetic. You'll be deeply relaxed but still able to respond to your dentist.
Sedation is very safe when given by trained teams following national guidelines, but it isn't suitable for everyone. We assess your medical history carefully at your consultation.
No. You must not drive, operate machinery, drink alcohol or sign important documents for at least 24 hours after sedation, and you'll need an adult escort home.
Sedation can be used for most treatments, from fillings and extractions to implants and teeth in a day.
Sedation is only provided after a consultation and medical assessment. Your dentist will explain the benefits, risks and alternatives before you decide.
