Sedation Dentistry in Ashburton
It’s not unusual to feel nervous before an upcoming dental procedure. Many patients experience stress when visiting the dentist, whether it’s for a simple cleaning or something more involved. We understand that worry at Aesthetic Mee Dental Surgery and we are here to help you feel comfortable every step of the way.
Understanding Your Options
This approach is designed to help make visits more manageable. It’s used in a wide range of patients and procedures, from routine cleanings for anxious individuals to more involved procedures like root canals, extractions and implants. We use sedation to help patients who feel nervous, have a strong gag reflex or simply want to feel more at ease during their appointment.
We offer several levels of sedation: light sedation where you remain awake but relaxed, nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) that helps you feel comfortable and aware, and general anaesthesia for those who prefer to sleep through the procedure. Our goal is to help you feel supported and at ease.
Meeting Protocols for Care
Before any appointment, we’ll review your medical history, current medications and overall health to make sure this approach is suitable for you. We’re able to provide sedation options for many patients, from young children to older adults, depending on individual health needs. The one exception is pregnancy. We do not provide sedation for expecting patients to help support the health of both mother and baby.
