"It’s nothing personal, but I hate the dentist." If this sounds like you, you're not alone. Many people feel anxious or fearful about dental visits.

We offer a range of sedation options to ensure that you receive the care you need in a calm and relaxed state. Don’t let fear hold you back from achieving the smile you deserve.
Sedation Options We Offer :
​​
-
IV Sedation (Twilight Sedation) :
If you are highly anxious or undergoing a complex procedure, IV Sedation may be the best option for you.
Also known as conscious sedation or twilight sedation, this technique ensures complete comfort throughout your treatment. You’ll feel deeply relaxed and may even fall asleep, but you will remain responsive if needed.
The beauty of IV sedation is that it provides 100% pain relief and amnesia, so you won’t remember anything about the procedure.
Our skilled anaesthetist, Dr. Kevin Lai, works with our dental team to administer IV sedation safely in our practice, giving you the peace of mind that you’re in expert hands

Relative Analgesia (RA) :
Happy Gas For those who need a lighter, more manageable option to help them relax, Relative Analgesia (RA), also known as "Happy Gas", is a great choice.
This involves inhaling a mixture of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oxygen. It’s a safe, widely-used technique that reduces anxiety and pain during dental procedures.
The effects are fast-acting and wear off quickly, meaning you’ll be able to resume normal activities shortly after your treatment. It’s ideal for patients who are nervous but still want to stay awake and aware during the procedure.

-
Oral Sedation :
For patients with mild anxiety, Oral Sedation can be an effective solution. Medications such as Diazepam (Valium) are taken orally about an hour before your appointment.
This helps induce a calm, relaxed state, making your treatment more comfortable. While you’ll remain awake, the sedation will significantly reduce your anxiety, making your visit stress-free and easy.
These sedation options ensure that you can enjoy your treatment with minimal discomfort. If you feel nervous or have concerns about dental procedures, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
