Sleep Dentistry at Drummoyne Dental Practice
At Drummoyne Dental Practice, we are pleased to offer Sleep Dentistry or Intravenous Sedation to our patients. If you have a fear of dentists or a fear of any dental treatment, then you may benefit from sedation. Apprehensive, anxious or patients with a strong gag reflex can not relax, lay back and comfortably experience pain free and stress free dental treatment. Intravenous sedation ensures that patients do not remember the dental procedure. Paitents may feel like a procedure lasted only a few minutes, when in reality it may have taken several hours. No procedure is too small for this process. If you are too anxious to have a dental clean, then sedation can help.
Who performs the Intravenous Sedation?
The intravenous sedation will be performed by a medical specialist doctor. The doctor will be by your side before, during and after the dental procedure until you have recovered. As your sedation is being administered by a registered medical practitioner, you will be eligibile to claim for a medicare rebate for the cost of your sedation.
