Dental Sedation in Plymouth
Are you feeling anxious? Tell us. We want to help you. Dental anxiety is incredibly common. According to the NHS, one in four of us dreads visiting the dentist.
We offer full Dental Sedation and Anaesthetics services for nervous dental patients.
Our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, is an internationally trained Cosmetic Dentist who has just celebrated 40 years in dentistry.
Dr Bronkhorst has advanced training in placing Dental Implants, is an experienced Invisalign Provider, and has a special interest in Sedation for nervous patients.
From our state-of-the-art clinic near Mutley Plain, we serve patients from across Ocean City, including Plympton, Plymstock, Stoke Village and Derriford, and are conveniently located for those travelling from Saltash, Torpoint and Ivybridge.
Treatment Overview
Dentistry has become more advanced.
You are always in control.
New techniques, treatments and technologies make all the procedures much faster, easier, and less painful.
There’s no need to be scared or embarrassed – we’ve seen it all before. Don’t let your fear of the dentist stop you from caring for your teeth. Call and make an appointment. Show up. That’s all you need to do.
At Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre, if you feel that you need additional help with your dental treatment, we can offer you “Laughing Gas” (a mixture of Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide) to help you relax or Intravenous Sedation (IV) for extra comfort.
We are happy to discuss anything over the phone or face-to-face to put you at ease, and we will always go at your own pace.
We don’t judge you. We’re not going to lecture you or get angry at you. Even if it’s been ten years since you’ve seen a dentist, that’s ok. Better late than never.
Our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, has a special interest in Dental Sedation and has been a member of The Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry for over 20 years.
Whether you’ve had bad experiences or are afraid of injections, we all experience dental/medical anxiety to some extent or another.
We know it’s difficult, but it will be so worth it in the end! It’s a hard step to take, but it can be one of the best things you’ll ever do for yourself.
One of the best parts of this job is when someone comes in with poorly cared-for teeth and, after treatment, becomes a completely different person with so much more confidence!

What our patients say about us
How much does Dental Sedation cost in Plymouth?
RA “Laughing Gas” sedation starts from £250 per session, and IV sedation starts from £350 per session.
IV sedation enables you to relax and remain conscious during treatment, allowing you to understand and respond to the dentist, which may be essential during certain procedures.
If you’re undergoing sedation, you must have somebody accompany you to escort you home.
Having an adult remain with you for 24 hours after the sedation is also advisable.
It is essential to rest for the remainder of the day and avoid alcohol, and if you experience any unusual symptoms, contact us immediately.
All new patients will be asked to book a 1-hour comprehensive examination appointment at a cost of £150.
This exam will include your teeth and gum health, structural integrity, bite function, cosmetic aspects, and any X-rays needed.
After we have carefully listened to what you want and under the dentist’s professional guidance, we will be able to create a customised treatment plan for you and discuss the available treatments and estimated costs.
A £60 deposit is required at the time of booking, with the remaining £90 due on the day of your appointment.
Please note that this fee is fully refundable if you notify us of your cancellation at least 72 hours in advance. Your deposit will not be refunded for cancellations made with shorter notice or failed appointments.
