Do You Have A Fear Of Going To The Dentist?

Trust us to care for you

A visit to the dentist can be a nerve-racking experience for many patients. Some people who suffer from dental anxiety even put up with extreme toothache to avoid undergoing dental treatment, often resulting in painful trips to an emergency dentist.

Avoiding your regular dental check-up – or even worse – ignoring toothache or nagging pain in the gums can cause much larger problems in the future. Such behaviour can allow minor issues within the oral cavity to get aggravated and generate the need for much more serious and expensive dental surgery at a later date.

When fear starts to interfere with your oral health, sleep dentistry can help.

At Dainty Dental Care, your comfort is our top priority along with premium quality care. Today’s advancements in dentistry mean most treatments cause very little discomfort, but when that isn’t enough, we offer sedation options to calm anxious patients. Our sleep dentistry in Bayswater and Boronia is effective, safe, and simple.

This approach includes a personalised treatment plan, gentle care, and communication support to make your visit stress-free. We offer comfortable amenities, a soothing atmosphere, as we strive to create a positive dental experience for you.

What is Sleep Dentistry?

Sleep dentistry is a process wherein the person receiving the dental treatment is given an anaesthetic to put them into a sleep-like state. The dentist can perform the procedure while the patients are unconscious, and therefore, unaware of the work being performed on their teeth. This process makes providing treatment to the patient much easier for the dentist as the patient will not move and struggle or have a panic attack during the operation.

We understand that the thought of undergoing dental treatment can make some of our patients extremely uncomfortable, and so, we have introduced sleep dentistry as an option with all of our major dental Implants services.

Our sedation options include laughing gas, IV sedation, or general anaesthesia. Our sedationist is specially trained in sleep dentistry, ensuring you receive the highest level of care. Within an hour of the procedure, most patients are fine to leave the clinic on their own, ready to show the world their whiter and brighter smiles.

What Are The Benefits of Sleep Dentistry?

Anxiety Removal – As the patients sleep soundly during the dental procedure, they are completely unaware of the sights, odours and sounds surrounding them. It alleviates the fear, anxiety and discomfort and negates the possibility of them having a panic attack during the procedure.

Comfort and Safety – Patients are relieved of the discomfort associated with long and complex dental procedures. Nobody likes to keep his or her mouth open without swallowing for hours on end. We don’t either! Sleep dentistry allows longer dental operations to be completed quickly and easily with minimal discomfort to the patient.

Time Effectiveness – Under anaesthetic, patients can undergo several or all the necessary dental treatments they require in a single session. They don’t even have to endure any pain as they are not in a conscious state! This can be done instead of multiple arduous sessions that are often required for multiple treatments.

Whether you’re time-poor or have a fear of dental procedures, sleep dentistry is the perfect option to help you go through dental visits or treatments comfortably and stress-free.

Our Sleep Dentistry Options


Laughing Gas

“Laughing Gas” is a blend of inhalation sedatives delivered through a nosepiece. This is to provide a constant flow of sedatives throughout your appointment. Laughing gas is an excellent option for lighter treatments or mild anxieties as it clears from your system within minutes, allowing you to go about your day as usual. It’s also a great choice for children.


IV Sedation

Intravenous or IV sedation is a stronger type of anaesthesia. It’s sometimes referred to as "Twilight sedation." While you remain conscious, you will have little to no recollection of the treatment. This sedation is ideal for those with more severe anxieties or for more complex procedures, allowing you to avoid hospital stays and associated fees. But, we do ask that someone drive you to and from your appointment.


General Anaesthesia

General anaesthesia is a type of "unconscious sedation" where you are completely asleep during treatment. This option is typically reserved for those with severe anxiety, complex procedures like the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, and longer appointments where multiple treatments are performed in a single session. Nearly 100% of the time, this is a day surgery procedure that does not require an overnight stay.

No matter which sedation dentistry option you choose, our goal remains the same: to provide you with a comfortable and stress-free dental experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is safe. We use well-established methods and conduct a thorough assessment before your procedure. Our experienced team monitors you closely during and after treatment to ensure your safety.

  • Minimal Sedation (Laughing Gas): You’ll feel relaxed and light-headed with a reduced perception of pain. You might be aware of the procedure but feel detached.
  • Moderate Sedation (IV Sedation): You’ll be deeply relaxed, likely drifting in and out of sleep, and may not remember much of the procedure.
  • Deep Sedation (General Anesthesia): You’ll be asleep for the majority or entirety of the procedure, with no memory of it afterward.

With nitrous oxide, you might be slightly aware but comfortable. IV sedation makes you less likely to notice the procedure, and general anesthesia ensures you stay asleep throughout. Don’t worry as we will monitor you closely to ensure your comfort and safety.

Your recovery experience will depend on the type of sedation used:

  • Nitrous Oxide: Effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities soon after.
  • IV Sedation: You may feel groggy and should have someone drive you home. Some post-procedure discomfort is normal.
  • General Anesthesia: Recovery might take longer, with grogginess and disorientation. Follow our aftercare instructions and arrange for assistance at home.

Sleep dentistry is suitable for most people, especially those with dental anxiety. A consultation with our team will help determine if it's the right option for you.
