Sedation Dentistry
If you, a family member, or a friend has dental anxiety, we can help by offering sedation dentistry. At Sapphire Dentistry in Doncaster, we go the extra mile to ensure the patient is comfortable during the dental treatment and has an overall positive experience.
Types of Sedation We Offer
General Anaesthesia
General anesthesia is the deepest form of sedation, and with it, the patient doesn’t hear, see, or feel anything. General anesthesia provides 100% pain relief and amnesia, so the patient doesn’t remember any details from the procedure. Our General Anasethitc sedation is done externally with an Anaesthetist.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is provided as a pill that relaxes the patient. During your initial visit to our Doncaster dental care clinic, our dentists will review your medical history and determine if this is the right type of sedation for you.
Twilight Sedation
The dentists administer twilight or IV sedation into a vein close to the skin surface. Each IV drip consists of anti-anxiety medications that relax the patient while the dentist performs the dental procedure.
It is one of the most preferred sedation dentistry methods among patients who desire deep sedation.
