Sedation Dentistry In Melbourne

Sedation dentistry is perfect for when you need a complicated or nerve-wracking procedure done, but you aren’t too comfortable with the process. Sedation dentistry allows for a more pain-free and quicker experience as you’re put to sleep while the procedure takes place – ensuring that you don’t feel any pressure and wake up to your treatment fully completed. We understand that past experiences may be an issue when it comes to dental procedures. Sedation dentistry is tailored towards the individual as well as the treatment is completed. The method of administration is personalised, which means you will receive a level of sedation dentistry that will guarantee a comfortable, stress-free dental experience. Although sedation dentistry and sleep dentistry are extremely similar, there are small differences between the two and how they work.

Sedation Dentistry – Sedation dentistry refers to the administration of medications that cause deep relaxation and drowsiness. The patient will not go to sleep, but instead, will feel extremely relaxed. This means that they will be awake throughout the entire procedure, however, won’t feel any anxiety over it and in some cases, won’t actually remember it. Sedation dentistry is perfect for when you don’t want to be put to sleep but want to alleviate some of the worries and stresses that come hand in hand with a complex dental procedure or operation.
Sleep Dentistry – Sleep dentistry is the alternative to sedation dentistry and is when the patient is put to sleep under general anaesthesia. Usually, sleep dentistry is utilised in procedures that are longer and much more complicated or for patients who have extreme cases of anxiety.
At The Smile Designer, our professional team of dentists will help you understand the difference between sleep dentistry and sedation dentistry and will determine which pathway is the right option for you. For more information on sedation dentistry, contact our experts today.

How Can The Smile Designer Help?

The starting point to getting to understand you is your first initial consultation. A full examination with all the relevant x-ray’s and imaging are taken, to get a clear understanding of what needs to be done. We will sit down and listen to all your concerns, gain an understanding of what our goals are for treatment and the desired outcome we want to achieve. We will also go through costs and work around your budget with payment plan options if needed. Together, we will decide how we can overcome your dental fear and anxiety.

At The Smile Designer, while we don’t offer sleep dentistry, we believe that many individuals may not require it if they find the environment calming and relaxed. Having said that, we do provide options such as inhalation sedation, where patients remain awake but are mildly sedated. With our focus on patient comfort and tailored solutions, we strive to address dental anxiety effectively. With our extensive experience in assisting anxious patients, our dentists are adept at helping you conquer any apprehensions you may have. Speak to our team today, and if you still need it we can help by referring you to trusted professionals outside our business who provide sleep dentistry services.

Do You Offer Payment Plans?

Yes, we will go through all your options, set up a budget that suits your needs, and work through payment solutions with you. Most people find that after the initial consultation, the proposed treatment solutions are not what they had initially thought and their experience at the dentists have changed for the better. So contact us now at The Smile Designer Dental Studio.
