Comfort-focused, compassionate dentistry

If you feel nervous about visiting the dentist, you're definitely not alone - dental anxiety is more common than you might think. At Crescent Dental, we understand that these worries can come from concerns about pain, needles, or past experiences. Many people also feel uneasy in clinical settings or worry about being judged.

That’s why we’ve designed our clinic to feel calm and welcoming, with the latest technology to make your visit as comfortable as possible. For those who feel especially nervous, we offer gentle sedation options to help you relax and feel at ease during treatment.

What to expect with dental sedation

Before your treatment begins, a small IV is gently placed in your hand or arm to deliver a sedative that brings on a relaxed, peaceful state. 

You’ll remain awake and able to respond to simple instructions, but you’ll feel calm and at ease. Many patients find that they remember little of the procedure afterward, making the visit feel much quicker and more comfortable.

If you’d like to know if sedation is a good option for you, contact us to discuss your concerns - we’re here to help.

Stress-free dental treatment with sedation

We understand that feeling calm and comfortable during dental treatment makes all the difference. Sedation can provide a calming experience and help ease any worry.

Sedation enables you to feel at ease even during lengthy procedures like dental implants or oral surgery.
Feelings of stress and fear fade away, allowing you to focus less on the procedure itself.
You’ll be awake and able to communicate, but afterwards, you likely won’t remember the details of your treatment.
Our skilled team administers sedation carefully and monitors your vital signs throughout, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.

Is IV sedation safe?

Yes, IV sedation is generally safe when administered by a qualified professional. At Crescent Dental, Dr Chris Chucas and our caring team carefully monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.

What should I expect after the procedure?

After your procedure, you may feel drowsy or a bit disorientated due to the effects of the sedation. It’s important to have someone accompany you to your appointment, as you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery for the rest of the day. Our team will provide aftercare instructions to help you recover comfortably.

Will I feel any pain during the treatment?

IV sedation is designed to minimise discomfort and anxiety. While you will be awake and able to respond to the dental team, the sedative helps to dull any pain sensation. Local anaesthetic will also be used to ensure you remain comfortable during the procedure.

Are there any side effects of IV sedation?

While most patients tolerate IV sedation well, some may experience mild side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or a headache after the procedure. The effects can vary from person to person but typically wear off within a few hours. You may feel drowsy or slightly groggy for the remainder of the day, so it's best to plan for a quiet recovery at home. If you have any concerns, our team is here to help.
