Does your heart race at the mere thought of a dental visit? You're not alone. Many Australians put off essential dental care each year, letting their smile and their health suffer in silence. But what if you could sleep through your dental treatment?
Sleep dentistry helps anxious patients like you get the care they need while they drift into a peaceful slumber. Imagine waking up to find your dental problems solved with no stress, no memory of drills and no white-knuckled gripping of the armrests.
What Is Sleep Dentistry?
At Coburg Hill Oral Care, we administer general anaesthetic in a private hospital environment. You will be in a state of controlled unconsciousness, making sleep dentistry ideal in the following situations:
- For patients who need lengthy or extensive dental treatment
- For patients who haven’t had success with other sedation methods
- For patients with extreme dental anxiety
- For patients with special health care needs
We’re Serious about Safety
From the moment we sedate you until you wake up, we use state-of-the-art equipment and protocols to keep you safe. Your procedures take place in a private hospital setting with specially-trained dental professionals.
General anaesthetic is a delicate process, so we are highly cautious and pay close attention to you every step of the way. We’ll meet with you for a pre-sedation consultation and provide post-operative care to ensure a seamless experience from beginning to end.
Other Sedation Options
There are other sedation methods to consider before committing to general anaesthesia, including the following:
- Nitrous oxide — Your dentist can administer this odourless gas through a mask to relax you before dental treatment. It wears off when the mask is removed, allowing you to return to work or school.
- Oral conscious sedation — Your dentist can prescribe medication for you to take before your dental treatment. You’ll arrive at the dental clinic calm and relaxed and may not remember your appointment.
