Sleep dentistry
At Vision Dental we come across a number of patients who are afraid of the dentist. They are nervous and avoid going to the dentist. As a consequence, their dental & general health suffers.
If you are one of these patients, we provide a service that's called ‘sleep dentistry or twilight sedation' . It really helps.
Sleep dentistry is the use of intravenous or ‘IV’ sedation. A qualified anaesthetist administers a combination of pain relieving & sedative drugs right here in our surgery.
IV sedation is a very effective way of reducing your anxiety & controling pain. Its safer and more convenient than having a general anaesthetic in a hospital.
Sleep dentistry eliminates your awareness of the surroundings. Including the smells, sights and sounds of drilling & injections. It makes your visit to our surgery a much more enjoyable experience.
Our anaesthetist stays by your side the entire time you are asleep. You are monitored constantly. You feel calm and relaxed. And, you remain in a drowsy, dreamlike state for the whole appointment. You come out of sedation feeling drowsy and relaxed. With no recollection of anything. You get the dental care you need, but have been puting off forever.
Recovery is usually rapid. However, you should have someone to drive you home after your treatment.
