Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by a qualified professional. We carefully monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your well-being.
The level of sedation varies depending on the type used.
- With nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, you’ll be relaxed but awake and able to respond to instructions.

- Avoid eating or drinking for a certain period before the procedure.
