What is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry, or sedation dentistry that allows for pain free dentistry, is a dental solution designed for patients who dread going to the dentist.

Many people feel afraid or uncomfortable when they are placed in vulnerable positions like the dental chair, and may experience dental anxiety as a result.

Sleep dentistry is requires special skills and a highly trained team.

This team consists of the sedationist, the sleep dentist (a pain free dentist) who is a very gentle dentist & specially trained nurses.

Who is sleep dentistry for?
Sleep dentistry is an option for patients who fear dental procedures and needles, have difficulty with their gag reflex, have very sensitive teeth, or difficulty becoming numb from oral injections.

Sleep dentistry offers pain free dentistry and anxiety free dental procedures, as patients are in a deeply ...
... relaxed state, though fully responsive.

Sleep dentistry also provides an opportunity to perform multiple or lengthy dental procedures in one session.

It minimises the number of visits a patient has to make & ultimately reducing the build up of anxiety prior to each dental visit.

For procudures such as Porcelain Veneers and removal of wisdom teeth, IV sedation is a very good option to keep you relaxed and pain-free.

The sleep dentist or the pain free dentist takes care of all the procedural requirements to make sure that you are safe during the sedation.

Remember the sleep dentist is trained to be a gentle dentist.

What happens during sedation dentistry in Sydney?
Initially the sedation dentist will put you to sleep.

During the procedure, patients aren’t unconscious, but mentally “detached” from what’s going on, and before they know it, the sedation dentist will be telling them the dental procedure is over and they can go home.

The sedative effects of the medication last up to 24 hours, so patients will likely need to relax for the rest of the day after their dental procedure(s) and must be sure not to operate a motor vehicle after the sedation dentistry.
