Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry, also known as Sleep Dentistry, is having Dental Care performed whilst you are sedated with Intra-Venous Sedation. Your experience is that you will be semi-conscious and able to interact with our staff, but will forget about having the dental care performed. This is a great advancement in Dental Care.

It allows our Dental Team to perform large amounts of treatment at the one time, or perform procedures that would otherwise require the extra expenses of going to Hospital. A Qualified Anaesthetist will provide the Sedation through an Intravenous Drip.

The cost consists of an Anaesthetist Fee and a Smile Artistry Fee to cover equipment monitoring and Drugs.  Whilst some of the fee is paid for by Medicare you will be out of pocket initially by about $700 per hour.

You will need to have someone collect you and take you home following the procedure as you will remain relaxed for most of the day. Six hours prior to your appointment you should not eat or smoke. You need to advise if there are any changes to your medical history that we are unaware of.
