Advanced Sedation. Absolute Comfort.
What is conscious sedation and how can it help you?
We believe dental anxiety shouldn’t stand in the way of your health.
For patients who feel nervous about complex treatments, our sedation services at Heslington Dental Practice provide a gentle solution – allowing you to comfortably receive the care you need in a stress-free environment.
You’re in expert hands with Emma and Katie, our highly qualified sedation dentists who are dedicated to making dental anxiety a thing of the past. With specialised postgraduate training in Sedation and a deeply caring approach, they provide the gentle support you need for a stress-free experience.
| Option: | What to Expect: |
| Inhalation Sedation | Often called ‘Gas and Air,’ this helps you feel light, relaxed, and at ease. |
| IV Sedation | A deeper sedation delivered via the hand or arm; perfect for longer or more complex treatments. |
The Experience:
You remain awake and able to talk to us, but the world will feel very far away. Many patients feel so peaceful they fall into a light sleep. Sedation is also highly effective at relaxing the gag reflex, ensuring a more comfortable experience.
Support for Little Smiles:
We find that many children benefit from ‘Gas and Air’ during their appointments. This gentle sedation helps them stay relaxed and cooperative, making their dental care a stress-free and positive experience for both of you.
At Heslington Dental Practice, we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile. Our private sedation service is designed specifically for those who find standard dental visits difficult. We accept our own patients, referrals from other dentists, and individuals who haven’t seen a dentist in a long time due to anxiety. If you fit the required health criteria, we can help you finally access the treatment you need.
