CALM. RELAXED. UNAWARE
Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry is a revolutionary treatment for patients who experience high levels of anxiety with dental treatments and procedures.
Sleep dentistry refers to dental treatment that is completed while you are ‘asleep’. This very advanced form of sedation works by administering a combination of sedatives and pain relief medication in order to send patients into a special state of sleep.
Feel Calm, Relaxed & Unaware
This stage of sleep is most comparable to the dream state where you feel calm, relaxed and unaware of your external surroundings. Within this state of sleep, you will not be able to hear any noise, feel any pain or experience any discomfort, waking from the procedure calm.
High level of anxiety can often discourage patients from seeking dental treatment and prevents them from maintaining good oral health. This treatment can help both dentist and patient combined, allowing patients to remain calm and the dentist to carry out the procedure with clear focus and accuracy knowing their patient is comfortable.
Positive Benefits of Sleep Dentistry include
- Comfort – Patients are assured that they will not experience any discomfort associated with long and complex procedures.
- Safety – Patients will be comfortable knowing that their procedure is being managed with specific equipment and administered by those professionally qualified and experienced.
- Time-effectiveness – Patients will be able to have most to all necessary dental treatments completed in one session rather than multiple visits.
