Dental Sedation

Our team at Natural Smiles understands the difficulties you face when seeking dental treatment. At our Corby clinic, we are dedicated to putting your mind at ease during your visit, offering empathetic care alongside the expert guidance of our dental professionals. Depending on your needs and suitability, your dentist can discuss the available sedation options with you and recommend an appropriate approach.

Many of you avoid treatment for years through fear of the dentist, and we are experienced enough to understand the pressure they feel when entering the treatment room. Our dedicated team will talk you through each step of the procedure to ensure you know exactly what will happen. We offer oral conscious sedation, inhalation sedation, and intravenous sedation. Oral conscious sedation is useful for those who are fearful of needles.

How Does Sedation Work?

Sedation differs from traditional forms of anaesthesia in that the person remains conscious during treatment whilst being totally pain-free. Many of our clients tell us they prefer the level of control sedation offers. A local anaesthetic is an alternative option to sedation. Hypnosis is also an option during treatment. Here at Natural Smiles, our experts care about your level of comfort and are trained in a variety of relaxation techniques.

How Long Does Sedation Last?

Sedation leaves you drowsy, and it is a safety requirement that a friend or family member accompanies you during this time, as the mind is not as sharp as normal. Depending on the form of sedation required, the drowsy feeling can last for several hours. We recommend that you put a day aside to overcome the effects of sedation.
