Sedation dentistry is designed to help patients overcome dental anxiety and receive the treatment they need in a calm, controlled way. It’s often chosen by those who experience nervousness, have a strong gag reflex, or find it difficult to stay still during longer appointments.
Unlike general anaesthetic, sedation doesn’t put you fully to sleep. Instead, it places you in a deeply relaxed state where you feel comfortable and detached from stress or discomfort. Many patients report little to no memory of the procedure afterward.
Patients with dental anxiety or phobia
Those with previous negative dental experiences
Individuals with a strong gag reflex or low pain threshold
Patients requiring longer or more complex treatments
01
Before treatment, you’ll meet with Munir, our sedation specialist, to review your medical history and ensure you’re suitable for sedation. This is also an opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have.
02
Sedation is administered under controlled conditions and monitored throughout. You’ll remain awake but feel calm and comfortable, with your dentist able to carry out treatment while you rest.
03
Once treatment is complete, you’ll spend a short time recovering at the practice while the sedation wears off. You may feel drowsy and will need someone to accompany you home. Most patients feel completely normal within a few hours.
Sedation dentistry is safe, predictable and trusted by thousands of patients who previously avoided dental care due to anxiety.

Yes. Sedation is administered by an experienced clinician and carefully monitored throughout the procedure. All sedation at Lakewood Dental follows strict safety and clinical guidelines to ensure your wellbeing.
Sedation dentistry does not involve general anaesthetic. You’ll remain conscious and able to respond but feel deeply calm and relaxed. Many patients remember little or nothing about the procedure afterward.
You may feel drowsy for a few hours after treatment, but this passes as the medication wears off. We recommend having a friend or family member accompany you home and avoiding driving for the rest of the day.
Sedation is ideal for anyone who feels nervous about dental visits, has had past traumatic experiences, struggles with a strong gag reflex, or needs a longer or more complex treatment such as implants or extractions.
Sedation can be used for a wide range of procedures, from hygiene visits and fillings to implant placement. Your dentist and Munir will discuss the most suitable option based on your needs and the type of treatment being performed.
