Conscious Sedation

Conscious Sedation for Extra Relaxation

Also known as Sleep Dentistry, dental conscious sedation is the process where we use medication to help patients relax by slowing the action of the central nervous system. Patients remain aware of their surroundings, but are less responsive to external stimuli; like the sound of the drill for example. It also reduces the overall sense of pain and in some cases it has a temporary amnesiac effect where you will forget the details about the treatment delivered.

Sedation can be very helpful for patients who are very nervous about dental treatment. Procrastination can have devastating consequences for the oral health leading to teeth loss and pain. Larger procedures such as multiple implant surgery are also good situations where sedation can reduce the overall anxiety.

We offer IM (Intramuscular) sedation to our patients right here in our rooms and it’s performed by our Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Simon Rosenbaum. Conscious Sedation is a great alternative option to General Anaesthetics as it’s drastically more cost effective and it carries much less risks.

Proud Smile also offers full General Anaesthetic service at the Gold Coast Private Hospital for patients who prefer to be completely asleep. If you belong to a private health you can use your hospital cover to claim the costs associated with hospital admittance.

To find out more about Dental Conscious Sedation or General Anaesthetics please call us on 5570 3311. Or use our Instant Online Booking facility.
