Sleep Dentistry

Anxiety free dentistry; sedation

For Anxious Patients

Hartwell Dentistry is proud to announce that we have been partnered with practitioners since 2012 to provide Sleep Dentistry to our patients.

Also known as Twilight Sedation, Sleep Dentistry is a very relaxed way to address your dental needs. Sedation involves having a qualified dental sedation specialist/anaesthetist induce you to a state of deep relaxation, whereby you are still awake and able to hear commands, you will not be concerned with what is going on around you.

The great thing about dental sedation is that it is safe, less involved compared to having a general anesthetic and you really do feel like you were just “asleep” during the whole procedure.

FAQs:

What is Sleep Dentistry?
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel stressful or overwhelming for some people. Sleep dentistry is a gentle solution that allows you to relax completely while we take care of your dental treatment. With the support of a highly trained sedationist or anaesthetist, you’ll be given safe medication that helps you drift into a calm, restful state—some patients even feel like they’ve simply had a nap. While you’re relaxed and comfortable, I’ll carry out your treatment, and the team will be by your side the entire time to make sure you’re safe and cared for. It’s all about giving you peace of mind and making your experience as easy as possible.

As with every medical procedure, there is always the possibility of side effects. Rarely, patients report slight nausea, drowsiness, swelling or bruising at the injection site. 

 

After treatment, you may feel groggy or sleepy after the procedure for up to a few hours, which is why we ask that transportation be arranged for after your visit.

All procedures that we offer can be done under Twilight Sedation. Currently, this is not offered for children.
