What can be done under sedation?

- Extractions (teeth removal) including wisdom teeth
- Oral surgery
- Fillings
- Hygiene Cleans
- Crowns
- Implants
How is it done?
The drugs that we use, which are mild sedatives to induce a calm, relaxed state, are given into a vein in the hand. We have advanced digital monitoring facility at our practice to keep track of your Blood Pressure and Oxygen level in your blood.
After the procedure
The effect of these drugs wears off quickly. You may not remember details of the procedure as the sedative drugs used cause amnesia. You will have to stay in the practice for a bit longer till the drug effect is completely gone. There are no long-term side effects for these drugs.
There should be an adult accompanying you to take you back home and keep an eye on you for next 24 hours.
We offer this facility to those above 12 years of age, and only to those who are medically fit. We can assure you that the procedure is done safely and professionally at our practice.
