Dental Sedation
DENTAL SEDATION
Sedation usually goes with procedures such as multiple extractions, surgical removal of multiple teeth, sinus lift surgeries and other complex surgeries. It is also a popular option for nervous patients or patients who simply prefer to be put to sleep during the dental procedures. In fact, any procedures can be done under sedation! Opting for sedation provides for a better overall experience at the dental clinic. It allows our patients to receive treatments in a comfortable and stress-free manner.
1. Is sedation safe?
Sedation is safe, but only in experienced and professional hands. Smile Design Dental Practice is fully equipped and accredited as a day surgery centre to offer the option of sedation. Our anaesthetist is present during the entire process of your dental treatment to ensure your safety and wellbeing.
2. How do I know if I'm suitable?
Talk to us! We will schedule a consultation session to listen to your concerns and advise you accordingly after assessing your medical history. We need you to answer some simple questions as well as to provide us with your past medical history to determine your suitability.
3. Is sedation Medisave claimable?
Procedures adjunct to the surgery (i.e sedation) are not Medisave claimable. Only for surgical procedures (i.e. wisdom tooth surgery, implant surgery, cyst removal surgery) are allowed to claim through Medisave.
4. What should I expect?
As a form of preparation, you are required to fast 8 hours before the sedation. After your surgery, we will assist you to a private and quiet room to rest and recover from the sedation comfortably. A trusted adult should also be present to accompany you home when you are well enough to leave the clinic.
5. Will I go hungry?
As most of the procedures are done early in the morning, you will just feel as though you have skipped your breakfast. As soon as you recover from the sedation, we will provide you with complimentary refreshments. You may resume with your normal diet shortly after.
