For those struggling with anxiety about dental treatments, we offer sedation to ensure a calm experience during necessary procedures.
Conscious sedation implies you are not put to sleep and can respond to instructions.
Most patients report they can’t remember anything afterwards and that it’s similar to being asleep.
Conscious sedation in experienced hands is globally accepted as being safer than General Anaesthesia (GA). By administering sedation during dental treatments, we have managed to help those suffering from dental phobia or undergoing complex treatments. With intravenous sedation, the amount of drug given can be titrated to achieve the most relaxed state for you.
Conscious sedation can either be administered intravenously using a cannula on the back of your hand or orally. We recommend intravenous sedation, which is the most powerful and effective means of relaxing nervous patients.
Oral Sedation is a simple and needle-free method & ideal if you’re apprehensive. It involves taking a sedative liquid before your procedure, leading to a calm and relaxed state.
You will be closely monitored during the procedure. We will check your vitals and blood pressure to ensure the sedation is working.
A sedative drug is then slowly administered, and within minutes, the ideal level of sedation is achieved.
You will be awake for the whole procedure, although many patients do fall asleep during their treatments.
You can expect to feel drowsy during and in the hours after the procedure. Patients also report feeling happy and carefree when under sedation. You will find that any nerves dissipate.
Hove Dental Clinic is not your typical dental practice environment.
The brainchild of Dr Dimitri Mantazis, the clinic is a calm oasis that fosters both patient comfort and well-being.
We take a holistic approach to dental care and reject the traditional cold and clinical settings that often make it difficult for patients to relax.
Our dentists are passionate about helping vulnerable, nervous and neurodivergent patients have the best relationship possible with the dentist and dental practice environment.
Administering and overseeing sedation-based procedures is something of a strong point of our clinic, and we have helped countless patients overcome their anxiety using both IV and oral sedation.
