Sedation dentistry uses calming medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. At our Leicester clinic, we offer oral sedation and IV sedation, tailored to your level of anxiety and the complexity of your treatment.
You’ll remain conscious and responsive, but feel completely at ease — with little to no memory of the procedure afterward. It’s ideal for patients with dental phobia, sensitive gag reflexes, or those undergoing longer or more involved treatments.
Sedation Dentistry is ideal if you:
We meet you where you are, at your pace.
Medical screening and full monitoring every time.
IV or oral, matched to your needs and procedure.
Effective local anaesthetic plus anxiety relief.
Dedicated observation, escort required, clear aftercare.
Plain-English explanations before, during, and after.
We start with a thorough consultation to discuss your medical history, anxiety level, and the treatment you need. This helps us determine the best type of sedation for you.
Once approved for sedation, we tailor your care plan and provide clear instructions for preparation — including what to eat, wear, and expect before and after your visit.
You’ll arrive with a companion (as sedation patients cannot drive afterward). We administer the sedation, monitor you closely, and begin treatment once you’re fully relaxed.
You’ll feel deeply calm, and many patients report remembering very little or nothing at all. We carry out your dental treatment efficiently while ensuring your full comfort.
You’ll rest in our recovery space and leave once it’s safe to do so, accompanied by your friend or family member. We provide aftercare instructions and follow up with you as needed.
Many patients feel empowered to return for future treatment without sedation. We’ll continue to support your comfort and confidence at every step of your dental journey.
Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by trained professionals. We conduct a thorough medical screening beforehand and monitor you closely throughout your treatment.
Not necessarily. Most forms of sedation (like oral or IV sedation) help you feel deeply relaxed and drowsy, but you’ll still be conscious and able to respond. Many patients remember little to nothing afterward.
In most cases, yes. Sedation can be added to everything from simple hygiene appointments to more complex procedures. We’ll help you decide which option is best for your needs.
Recovery time varies. You’ll need someone to accompany you home, and we recommend resting for the remainder of the day. Most patients feel back to normal within 24 hours.
Yes. For your safety, you’ll need a responsible adult to escort you to and from the appointment and stay with you during recovery at home.
Yes, we offer 0% finance options that can include sedation as part of your overall treatment plan. We’ll go over all your options during your consultation.
