Sedation Options for nervous patients

FEELING ANXIOUS ABOUT GOING TO THE DENTIST?
DON’T LET FEAR GET BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR NEW SMILE.

The Sydney Implant Institute

TWILIGHT SEDATION

We understand the thought of dental work can be frightening. Here at the Sydney Implant Institute, our dentists are experienced in anxious dentistry and specialise in treating the teeth of nervous patients.

We can offer twilight sedation, a mild dose of general anaesthesia, which greatly reduces anxiety, discomfort and pain, and makes long appointments seem like just minutes. This is administered by medical doctors here at the practice and you will be provided with a receipt so you can claim a Medicare rebate.

If you’re interested in how to ease dentist anxiety, twilight sedation can be a game-changer, offering a stress-free experience with a dentist for nervous patients. However, it’s important to fully understand the process, whether you opt for oral sedation, inhalation sedation or a combination of both, and discuss any concerns with your dentist beforehand.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and our team will inform you about each step of the procedure, potential risks and what to expect during recovery. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. You will not be able to drive for 24 hours after the surgery.

Recovery suites

At the Sydney Implant Institute, we offer sedation options for our nervous teeth patients and have recovery suites for you to relax and unwind after your treatment. Our staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at ease when you come in to see us. Along with having extensive dental knowledge, our team at the Sydney Implant Institute provides a superior standard of patient care to make your experience a pleasant one.

Whether you’re worried about pain or experiencing claustrophobia and dental anxiety, our understanding staff and experts are here to help you feel calm and confident as you take the next step towards your new smile.

Frequently Asked Question

Dental anxiety is the feeling of uneasiness every time a person visits a dental clinic or thinks of dental procedures. This anxiety refrains people from visiting the dentist regularly and in some cases, some people avoid going to the dentist all together. This is problematic as many oral health issues can arise if not discovered early, avoiding the dentist can lead to oral health issues that could have otherwise been prevented.

Dental anxiety stops you from regularly visiting a dentist, and by avoiding the dentist you put yourself at the risk of developing serious dental diseases that will later require more complex treatments and emergency care. This situation, known as the ‘vicious cycle of dental anxiety’ involves people fearing the end result so much that they ultimately receive it just because they were anxious to prevent it in the first place. 

Best advice to maintain good oral health would be to have regular check-ups to assess your oral health condition. This will allow our dentists to detect problems at an early stage, resulting in a less invasive treatment and ultimately saving you more time and money in the long run.

Don’t hesitate to call us and let us know. Dental anxiety is a lot more common than people realise, if you ever get nervous when visiting a dentist, just know that you are not alone. We, as a professional team of dentists, come across many patients that fear dental procedures, on a daily basis. Fortunately, there is a way we can help you ease your anxiety and properly cope with it.
