Sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, allows patients to undergo dental procedures in a deeply relaxed or sleep-like state. This method is especially beneficial for those with dental anxiety or fear. Patients receive sedatives or general anaesthesia tailored to their needs and medical history, inducing a state akin to sleep.
During this state, patients experience no discomfort and often have minimal recollection of the procedure. It’s an effective way to receive dental care, eliminating the usual stress and discomfort of dental appointments. At Comfort Dental & Implant Centre, our skilled team is committed to ensuring every aspect of this process is handled with the utmost care, fostering a positive relationship between your comfort and oral health.
While some patients might experience mild side effects like dizziness or nausea, these are typically brief and managed with great care.
Our use of cutting-edge dental technologies and sedation techniques ensures you receive high-quality, safe dental treatments.
For many people seeking a stress-free dental appointment, sleep dentistry is the perfect option. It’s extremely helpful for those who suffer from severe dental anxiety or phobia, where the mere thought of a dentist appointment can cause severe tension or terror. People with sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, low pain tolerance, or who need extensive dental work can also benefit from this technique. It’s an excellent option for those with unique needs or difficulty staying still for long periods.
By choosing sleep dentistry, patients can avoid the typical emotional and physical discomfort associated with dental appointments, allowing them to receive necessary treatments in a relaxed and comfortable manner.
At Comfort Dental Centre, we offer a range of sedation options and work closely with our patients to select the most suitable type. This decision is based on each patient’s medical history, the specifics of the dental procedure, and their comfort level. Our goal is to ensure every dental experience is as calm and stress-free as possible.
Here are the most common types of sedation we offer at our dental practice in Buderim, Sunshine Coast:
This gentle form of sedation involves breathing in a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a mask. It effectively eases anxiety while keeping patients fully alert. The effects are short-lived, allowing patients to drive themselves home post-procedure.
Taken orally before the dental appointment, these medications create a moderate level of sedation. Patients remain awake but deeply relaxed. The strength can be adjusted based on the patient's anxiety level and the procedure's requirements.
Delivered directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line, this sedation offers a profound state of relaxation. It can be fine-tuned in real-time by the dentist, making it suitable for more extended or intricate dental treatments.
Reserved for comprehensive dental surgeries or patients with severe dental anxiety, general anaesthesia places the patient in a state of total unconsciousness. This form of sedation is closely monitored and typically administered in a hospital or dental clinic equipped with the necessary facilities and staffed by trained anaesthesiologists.
The cost of sleep dentistry varies depending on several factors, including the type of sedation used, the length and complexity of the dental procedure, and the individual needs of the patient. At Comfort Dental Centre, we believe in transparent and upfront communication regarding treatment costs.
We offer various payment plans, including Afterpay and Zip, alongside a wide range of payment methods such as EFTPOS and all major credit cards. We also accept all major health fund providers, including HICAPS and HCF. During our detailed consultations, we discuss the expected expenses and provide options to suit your budget and dental needs. Our team can assist you in exploring insurance coverage or payment plans to ensure you receive the necessary dental care in a financially manageable way.
