What is sleep dentistry?

Sleep dentistry (also known as sedation dentistry or pain-free dentistry) is a branch of dentistry that focuses on easing dental anxiety and maximising comfort during complex procedures. Several sedation options are available to nervous patients, including mild sedation, and general anaesthesia.

How does sedation dentistry work?

Several sedation options are available to those seeking sleep dentistry services, and the most appropriate one will be selected based on the conditions of the patient and the nature of the dental operation. The different sedatives induce various levels of controlled unconsciousness to numb pain and limit memory of the procedure.

Is sleep dentistry covered by insurance?

In many cases, sleep dentistry for complex dental procedures will be covered by your medical insurance. You may still incur some of the additional fees linked to the cost of the anaesthetic and the specialist anaesthetist. If you’re concerned about the cost of your treatment, we provide upfront, interest-free payment plans to help make costs more manageable.
