FAQ

Conscious sedation will help you cope with dental treatment and lower your anxiety. Even people who do not feel anxious about dental treatment choose to have conscious sedation for uncomfortable procedures such as extractions
IV sedation puts you in a safe and comfortable “semi-awake” state of reduced anxiety. After the procedure, you will most likely have little or no memory of the treatment because of the amnesic effect of the medications used to provide the sedation. While under sedation you are able to respond to verbal commands or to a light physical touch. With IV conscious sedation you need no medical assistance to maintain adequate breathing and heart function.
All aspects of dentistry can be performed under sedation.
In order to perform IV sedation both the dentist and the nurse must have received additional treatment. The team at Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre are high qualified and have safely completed hundreds of sedation procedures.
