Treatment for anxious or dental phobic patients
Suitable for any healthy person at any age
When difficult procedures are required
Health fund cover for hospital costs
There are some circumstances when dental treatment cannot be performed in the dental chair. Sometimes this is due to:
- patient’s age
- a disability
- anxiety
- a large volume of treatment needing to be completed
- procedural difficulty
We are able to perform most dental procedures under general anaesthetic. In the above cases, we are able to ease the stress on the patient and their family and perform the treatment while they are asleep. We treat our patients under general anaesthetic at a nearby day surgery centre. Generally, once the procedure has been completed, you will be able to go home within a few hours.
Sometimes we have patients requesting treatment while they are asleep and at other times, we will recommend this as an appropriate option.
If you feel that you may need to have any dental treatment performed while are you asleep, book in for a consultation with one of our dentists and they will be able to discuss the process with you.
