Sedation Dentistry
Experience a new era of comfort in dental care at DENTL in East Melbourne, where we turn dental anxiety on its head with our advanced sedation dentistry options. Perfect for those who dread dental visits, our sedation methods are designed to make your experience stress-free and comfortable.
Sedation Dentistry Options at DENTL
Transforming your dental experience into a stress-free affair is our specialty at DENTL. We offer a suite of sedation options designed not just to relax you, but to make you feel like you’re barely at the dentist at all. Here’s how we can make your visit as comfortable as a dream:
- Oral Sedation: Think of it as tranquillity in a pill. Take it an hour before your procedure, and you’ll feel a wave of calm wash over you. You’re fully awake but deeply relaxed, ready to face your dental treatment with a smile.
- IV Sedation: For those who prefer to snooze through their dental work, IV sedation is your best friend. Administered directly into your veins, it offers a deeper relaxation level, and you’ll likely remember little about the procedure afterwards—just the results.
- Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide Sedation): Just breathe in and drift away. This sweet little escape comes through a mask and eases you into a blissful state of relaxation. The best part? It wears off as soon as the mask comes off, so you can bounce back to your day without skipping a beat.
- General Anaesthesia: For a completely serene experience, general anaesthesia takes you to a sleep-like state where you’ll know nothing of the dental work being done. It’s ideal for extensive procedures, letting you wake up with all the work done, as if by magic.
Each option is a path to making your dental visit a piece of cake. Our expert team will help you pick the perfect one to match your needs and ensure you’re as comfortable as can be.
Why Consider Sedation Dentistry?
Explore a World of Comfort in Dental Care.
- Anxiety-Minimising Procedures: Say goodbye to dental anxiety with options that make you relaxed and comfortable.
- Efficient Treatments: With reduced stress, procedures are smoother and quicker, allowing for multiple treatments in one visit.

The Step-by-Step Procedure
1.
Pre-Treatment Consultation: Discuss your anxieties and preferences with our sedation specialists who will tailor the sedation to your specific needs.
2.
Administration of Sedation: Depending on your choice—oral sedation, nitrous oxide, or general anaesthesia—we’ll ensure you’re comfortably sedated before beginning.
3.
Dental Procedure: Our skilled dentists perform the necessary dental work while you’re relaxed or fully asleep.
4.
Post-Procedure Care: You’ll wake up with little to no memory of the procedure, and we’ll ensure you’re fully comfortable before heading home.
Step out with a smile and a memory of ease, not discomfort.
