What Is Sleep Dentistry?

Sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, uses safe sedative techniques to help patients feel at ease during dental treatment. While it doesn’t always involve full sleep (unless under general anaesthesia), it significantly reduces awareness, discomfort, and anxiety.

We offer different levels of sedation depending on your needs, including:

Oral sedation – A medication taken before treatment to help you relax
IV sedation – Provided on-site at our clinic for deeper relaxation during treatment

Dr Josh was so lovely - I felt really comfortable under his care. Hearing him with elderly customers who arrived after me was so good- he is kind, compassionate and listens to any concerns you may have whilst also talking you through everything.

Cannot recommend Dr Joshua Gower more highly!My son had a very painful wisdom tooth coming through requiring immediate attention and Dr Gower was fantastic - offering helpful advice and solutions. According to reports from the patient Dr Gower's anaesthetic delivery is the best and unlike other Dentists, his injections didn't hurt a bit. A very happy patient on the mend now, "The best experience I've ever had at the Dentist" - which is pretty good considering he had a wisdom tooth removed!!Thanks so much 🙂

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

What to Expect: Before, During, and After

Before – We’ll walk you through your sedation options and provide clear instructions (e.g., fasting, medications). You’ll need someone to drive you home after the appointment if undergoing deeper sedation.

During – Depending on the level of sedation, you’ll feel completely relaxed, may drift in and out of sleep, or be completely unaware of the procedure. Our team ensures your comfort the entire time.

After – You may feel drowsy or groggy, but this wears off gradually. We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions and follow up to ensure your recovery is smooth.
