Sedation Dentistry

If you get incredibly anxious when it comes to dentistry or dental surgery, rest assured you are not alone. Over 30% of people avoid the dentist due to fear. We have sedation services to make treatment as easy and stress-free as possible.

What is sedation dentistry?

We use sedatives and anaesthetic to establish a relaxed, calm state. We can administer sedation in a variety of ways: options include inhaled, intravenous (IV), and oral sedation. We will discuss these options with you.

Benefits

One of the major benefits of sedation dentistry is that patients often feel like their dental procedure only lasts a few minutes, when in fact it may have taken hours. This is far less tiring and stressful for you, meaning we can perform complex procedures that usually require multiple visits in fewer appointments.

 

Also, because sedation dentistry minimises some of the fears keeping you from visiting the dentist on a regular basis or getting treatment done, with sedation dentistry you are more likely to receive the care you need.

Sarah S.

“Having battled with severe gum problems for many years, but avoiding the dentist, I am so glad to have found this place. I underwent perioscopy under sedation just 3 months ago, and the results are just amazing. The standard of care Noble Dental provides is exceptional. Thank you - five stars!”

Jade T.

“All fears quickly dissipated as the sedation put me in a complete state of relaxation with no pain felt during the two implants.”

Cornelius K.

“Noble Dental instils confidence with clear and professional advice, and easy to follow explanations and alternatives. They are technically very good, with excellent anaesthetic and quick surgery. I had no pain during or post op. I’m thrilled with my result. Before my consult I spoke with colleagues who recommended Noble and I agree – definitely the go-to clinic in Auckland. The nursing assistants are outstanding and make you feel relaxed. As a fellow health practitioner I recommend Noble highly.”
