You're not alone in feeling this way

Dental anxiety affects up to 1 in 6 Australian adults. Some people haven't seen a dentist in years — not because they don't care about their teeth, but because the thought of sitting in the chair is genuinely overwhelming.

Sedation dentistry exists precisely for this. It lets you receive the dental care you need while feeling calm, relaxed, and comfortable — sometimes with little or no memory of the procedure at all.

Your options

Three levels of sedation, tailored to you

Every patient is different. We'll recommend the right level based on your anxiety, the procedure, and your medical history.

Nitrous Oxide

Mild sedation · "Happy gas"

Breathe through a small mask and feel calm within minutes. You stay awake and the effects wear off quickly.

IV Conscious Sedation

Moderate sedation · Our specialty

A small IV puts you into a deeply relaxed, dream-like state. Most patients remember little or nothing.

Oral Sedation

Mild–moderate · Tablet before your visit

Take a prescribed medication before your appointment to feel relaxed and drowsy. No IV required.
