In any dental emergency, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent long-term complications. Our emergency treatments focus on providing immediate pain relief and addressing the underlying issue. Acting quickly can increase the chances of preserving damaged teeth and reducing discomfort.

We understand that dental anxiety can be a significant barrier to receiving essential dental care. To help our patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during their visits, we offer sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry.

Sedation, or sleep dentistry, allows patients to undergo dental procedures in a deeply relaxed state. Options include IV sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the situation. By minimising pain and anxiety, we aim to create a more comfortable and stress-free experience.

If you choose sleep dentistry and it is appropriate for your needs, we follow these steps:

1. Booking:
   We will schedule a suitable time for your procedure.
2. Sedation Level:
   We determine the appropriate level of sedation based on your needs.
3. Administration:
   On the day of the procedure, a qualified anaesthetist will administer the sedative or general anaesthesia.
4. Procedure:
   Once sedated, your dental procedure will be performed.

Our team is dedicated to providing a calming and supportive environment for our patients. We will work closely with you to help you feel at ease throughout your dental care journey, addressing your anxiety with care and attention.

Here’s what you can expect during this first visit:

1. Welcome and registration
   Upon arrival, our friendly staff will greet you and ask you to complete the necessary paperwork. This will include providing your personal details, health fund information, and any specific concerns or questions you have for the dentist.
2. Initial discussion
   Before beginning the examination, your dentist will talk with you about your dental history. This is the right opportunity to discuss your dental concerns or cosmetic goals you have in mind.
3. Comprehensive oral examination
   The dentist will then conduct an oral examination to check the condition of your gums, teeth, and mouth. This will include looking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues that might require treatment. Depending on your needs, digital X-rays or other imaging may be conducted.
4. Diagnosis and treatment plan
   After the examination, the dentist will explain their findings to you. They will explain any issues identified and suggest a treatment plan to address them. This might involve follow-up appointments for treatments such as fillings, root canal treatment, or more complex procedures like crowns or implants. Preventative care strategies may also be recommended to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
5. Open dialogue and questions
   Throughout the consultation, the dentist will encourage you to ask any questions about your concerns or recommended treatments. We want you to fully understand all aspects of your treatment plan before proceeding.
6. Scheduling future appointments
   Depending on the results of your consultation, the receptionist will help you schedule any necessary follow-up appointments. Whether you need further treatments or just routine check-ups, we’ll work with your schedule for continued care.
