Sleep Dentistry Explained
Sleep dentistry is a technique aimed at providing the highest levels of comfort for a patient during a dental procedure. It can be applied if you are scared of the dentist procedure, and in case of complex treatment requirements.
At Complete Implant and Sedation Dentistry, we have helped thousands of patients with complex dental care and oral surgery under sedation, and our team has a particular expertise in Perth in this area.
We believe nobody should be held back from achieving their optimal dental health or reconstructive care for fear of pain or discomfort, or dental phobia or anxiety.
Who Is Sleep Dentistry For?
Sleep dentistry is sometimes called conscious or twilight sedation. It uses calming and pain relieving drugs, so the patient feels comfortable and is in a state of deep relaxation during the dental, implant or oral surgery procedure. Its depth can be tailored to a patient’s treatment requirements, that is what is most suitable for the patient and their procedure.
As you wake up afterwards, you would typically feel that you have “slept through your procedure”. The effects of the sedative make patients feel, as if they have had a more than relaxing sleep. In addition, you will usually have no (or very little) memory of the procedure or the time around it.
Sleep dentistry can be a great tool for you if you have complex dental issues, require lengthy or complex treatments such as full mouth implant reconstruction, oral surgery or lengthy or multi-visit dental procedures. You can often have your treatment completed in as little as one comfortable sedation visit.
If you are sensitive at the dentist, or have a low pain threshold, or suffer from dental phobia and are scared of the dentist, or if you suffer from a strong gag reflex, difficulty keeping your mouth open, or difficulty numbing your mouth, then sleep dentistry may also be the solution for you.
At Complete Implant and Sedation Dentistry we have a state-of-the-art clinic with a strong focus on sleep dentistry to help patients with dental phobia, complex treatment needs or advanced dental solutions. Our goal is to ensure your comfort whilst you’re in our care, and to improve your outlook for future dental health.
