Services for nervous dental patients

It is natural for most people to feel some form of anxiety when visiting the dentist. For those who are particularly nervous, we offer intravenous sedation services.

Our Approach

Conscious sedation services

Our clinical team go to great lengths to provide a pleasant, comfortable and relaxed experience for our patients. They provide reassurance to patients through carefully explaining and demonstrating procedures, working to a measured pace and communicating in a clear manner. We are always pleased to see patients who overcome their fears as a result of this approach.

However, a minority of nervous patients experience more than anxiety with a significant fear of dental treatment. For these patients, we offer conscious, intravenous sedation services to help them relax and reduce anxiety.

About conscious, intravenous (IV) sedation

The precise drugs used will vary based on your individual health and circumstances. Normally one drug is used to induce sedation and another is used to reverse it.

During the procedure you remain awake but you are unlikely to remember details of the procedure. You will be in a relaxed state, and you will normally feel almost no pain or discomfort during treatment.

Our intravenous sedation services are delivered either by Consultant Anaesthetists or senior Dental Surgeons trained specifically in the technique. Our service is led by Dr Stephan Clements, Consultant Anaesthetist.

Safe, effective sedation care

Our sedation services are led by Dr Stephan Clements, a senior Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine and a flying doctor with the Welsh Air Ambulance Service (EMRTS).

His clinical expertise and qualifications enable a wide range of techniques not normally available in dental care settings.
