Dental Sedation in Plymouth
We offer full Dental Sedation and Anaesthetics services for nervous dental patients.
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.
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 a visit to the dentist.
There’s no need to be embarrassed – we’ve seen it all before. Don’t let your fear of the dentist stop you from caring for your teeth.
At Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre in Plymouth, we have a special interest in sedation for nervous patients.
You are always in control, and we can stop at any point. 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.
One of the best parts of this job is when someone comes in with poorly cared for teeth, and after treatment, they’re a completely different person with so much more confidence!
We all experience dental/medical anxiety to one extent or another.
Whether you’ve had bad experiences or are afraid of injections, dentistry has come a long way and has become much more advanced.
New techniques and treatments will improve your experience, and new technologies make all the X-rays, exams, and procedures much faster, easier, and less painful.
There’s no need to be scared or embarrassed. Call and make an appointment. Show up. That’s all you need to do.
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.
How much does Dental Sedation cost?
RA “Laughing Gas” sedation starts from £170, and IV sedation starts from £270.
IV sedation enables you to relax and remain conscious during treatment, meaning you can understand and respond to the dentist, which may be essential during specific 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 your dentist immediately.
This procedure can also produce a mild amount of amnesia, thus allowing you to forget about your dental visit. Oral sedatives are also available via your GP.
