Our Sleep Dentistry & Sedation Options
General Behavioural Management
For many patients, understanding what to expect can significantly reduce anxiety. Our friendly team takes the time to explain each step of your treatment, answer your questions, and work at a pace that helps you feel comfortable and in control.
Pain-Free Dentistry
Many people fear dental because they are worried about pain. At Platinum Dental Studio, we use modern anaesthetic techniques and advanced technology to minimise discomfort during treatement.
Our goal is to provide gentle, comfortable dentistry so you can relax knowing your comfort is our priority.
Happy Gas (Nitrous Oxide Sedation)
Happy Gas, also known as Nitrous Oxide Sedation, is a safe and effective option for patients who feel nervous about dental treatment.
You’ll breath a carefully controlled mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a small nose mask, helping you feel calm and relaxed while remaining awake and able to communicate with your dentist throughout the procedure.
Benefits include:
- Reduces anxiety and nervousness
- Helps you feel relaxed
- Can reduce discomfort during treatment
- Wears off quickly after treatment
- Most patients can resume normal activities shortly afterwards
If you’re worried about dental injections, we can apply a topical numbing gel before administering your local anaesthetic.
The gel numbs the surface of your gums, making the injection significantly more comfortable and helping reduce anxiety associated with needles.
Oral Sedation
For patients with moderate dental anxiety, oral sedation medication may be recommended where clinically appropriate.
This medication is taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed througout treatment. Although you remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, many patients feel drowsy and remember very little about their procedure afterwards.
Your dentist will advise whether oral sedation is suitble for your individual circumstances.
Treatment Under General Anaesthesia
For patients with severe dental anxiety, complex treatment requirements, or special circumstances, treatement under General Anaesthesia (GA) may be recommended.
General anaesthesia is performed in a fully equipped hospital or accredited day surgery facility by a qualified anaesthetist and experienced medical team. During treatment, you are completely asleep and unaware of the procedure.
If appropriate, we can discuss this option with you and arrange a referral for hospital-based treatment.
