Help to Relax During Treatment
We offer safe sedation options for patients who need extra help to feel comfortable
IV Sedation (via specialist)
For patients who need deeper sedation, we can arrange intravenous (IV) sedation with a trusted external sedation specialist. IV sedation induces a deeply relaxed, dream-like state while you remain safely monitored throughout. Our team coordinates everything and talks you through exactly what to expect.
- Deep relaxation for anxious patients
- Arranged with an external specialist
- Safely monitored throughout
- Escort required for return home
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative tablet before your appointment. This provides deeper relaxation while you remain conscious. You will need someone to accompany you to and from the appointment. Our clinician will discuss the right dosage for your needs.
- Moderate to deep relaxation
- Take tablet before appointment
- You remain conscious
- Escort required for return home
Sedation is provided at an additional cost to your treatment and is arranged on a case-by-case basis. Your clinician will confirm the fee and suitability at your consultation.
