What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is performed for dental procedures for anxious patients by administering medications to help them relax. Many patients avoid getting the required dental help because of their fear of the dentist. Sedation dentistry is performed to ensure that nervous patients enjoy healthy mouths and teeth.

What are the types of dental sedation?

The different types of dental sedation are; inhalation sedation, for patients requiring mild sedation also called anxiolysis; oral sedation, by asking patients to swallow a pill; TENS, using electrical impulses to numb the area; topical anaesthesia, using a swab to numb the area; or intra-venous sedation, for patients requiring moderate sedation and general anaesthesia for patients requiring deep sedation. General anaesthesia is used for patients only in a hospital and not in a dentist chair.

Is Sedation Dentistry painful?

Oral sedation, inhalation sedation, TENS and topical sedation are not painful. Intra-venous sedation and general anaesthesia need to be injected and patients may feel pain when the sedative is injected.

When can I travel by air after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should travel by air two days after sedation dentistry. They should take the advice of their dentist before embarking on their journey.

How long does recovery after Sedation Dentistry take?

Recovery from dental sedation takes between 40 to 90 minutes. Recovery depends on the type of sedation administered.

What after care is required after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should rest for at least three hours after sedation dentistry. They should not eat for at least four hours, until the anaesthesia wears off. They should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should resume work at least one day after sedation dentistry. They should not smoke or drink alcohol for at least two days after sedation dentistry. They should follow all dietary prescriptions given by their dentist correctly.

Sedation for dental treatments £200 - £600

At Deddington Dental we welcome nervous patients. We understand that for some people visiting the dentist can be a daunting thought. In our experience good communication and taking time to explain and discuss your treatment in a relaxing environment can help to reduce anxiety tremendously. Both Dr Taj Sihra and Dr Akhil Gupta are trained in providing dental treatment under sedation and for working with nervous patients. We can offer various forms of sedation for nervous patients. Oral and Inhalation Sedation For mild anxiety the dentist can prescribe a tablet 1 hour before dental treatment to calm your nerves. Inhalation sedation involves breathing gas and air during a procedure to help relax you. These are both a mild form of sedation. Intravenous (IV) Sedation IV sedation is offered for anxious or nervous patients after being assessed by the dentist. A medicine is injected into your arm and within seconds you feel more relaxed and less aware of what is going on around you. Treatment can be carried out in this more relaxed state. During the procedure the dentist or sedationist monitors your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels. You are not asleep during the procedure but most patients do not remember the dental procedure itself.

Dental Implants £1800 - £3000

Dental implants are an excellent option to replace missing teeth. They are a fixed option as opposed to dentures, which are removable. No drilling is required on adjacent teeth (like with bridges), thus preserving all of your own tooth structure. A small painless surgical procedure is needed to place the implant into the jaw bone. The implant acts as a replacement of the missing tooth root and the abutment and crown restore the part of the tooth which is evident in the mouth. In some cases implants can be placed as soon as the tooth is removed (known as immediate replacement) but most cases are carried out after a healing period of 3-6 months. If implants are looked after well they can last for the rest of your life. They are the closest thing to having your own tooth back. Dental implants are not suitable for all patients – a thorough implant assessment would be carried out and then suitability discussed. The Process Before implants are placed, the dentist will have assessed your mouth and discussed the best options with you. An x-ray or ConeBeam CT scan of the area will be taken to check for the important structures in the area. The implant placement is usually done under a local anaesthetic. The procedure itself is painless. The gum is peeled back and the implant is placed securely into the jaw bone. The gum is then placed back over the implant to allow it to heal and integrate. The implant is left for around 3 months to allow for healing and is reviewed in this time. A second smaller procedure is then undertaken to uncover the implant and shape the gum around it after which and impression of your mouth is taken so that the crown can be made in our hi-tech lab. Once made this can be cemented onto the implant to restore your smile.

I love my new smile and I have had great feedback from friends and familyCorina, UK, 10 11 22

I first visited Ladygrove Dental Practice because, like many people, had neglected my teeth over the years and found myself with an absyss above one of my back teeth. I was assigned to Amardeep Singh Johal (known as AJ). Once the absyss was sorted and the offending tooth extracted AJ offered me a choice and range of treatments, always asking me if I thought I needed changes and never pushing me. I had 2 awful looking front crowns which were well over their sell-by date. AJ offered me a smile makeover - treatment which involved 2 new front crowns and veneers for my upper teeth which I really liked the sound of and decided to go ahead with the treatment. At all stages of the treatment AJ talked me through procedures and made sure I was happy and comfortable at all times. I have been in and out of dentists since I broke my front teeth at the age of 8 and I can say hand on heart that AJ is the most thorough dentist I have ever been under. I have never had detailed photos of my teeth taken before. It was a pleasure to be under his care and his nurse Heidi was also an absolute delight always making sure I was happy and comfortable. The receptionists are lovely and friendly and made time to converse with me. I love my new smile and I have had great feedback from friends and family. Thank you AJ.
