Why Choose Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry offers several benefits that can enhance your dental experience:
Eliminates Anxiety: By being completely unaware of the procedure, patients with dental fear can receive the care they need without stress or worry.
Pain-Free Experience: Under general anaesthesia, you won’t feel any discomfort or pain during the treatment.
Efficient Treatment: Complex or multiple procedures can often be completed in one session, saving you from having to come back for multiple appointments.
Safe and Monitored: With a trained anaesthesiologist monitoring your condition throughout the process, your safety is always a top priority.

How to prepare for your appointment
Before your appointment, it's important to follow the specific instructions provided by your dentist. This may include fasting for a few hours. You should also arrange for someone to drive you to and from the appointment, as the effects of sedation can last for several hours after the procedure. During your consultation, your dentist will review your medical history to ensure the sedation method is safe for you.
