How Sleep Dentistry Works
With sleep dentistry, you are put under general anaesthesia for the duration of your appointment. While you are asleep, your clinician completes the required treatment. You wake up once everything is done, without any memory of the procedure itself. For patients who find it difficult to tolerate dental treatment while awake, this approach allows necessary care to be delivered without the distress that a standard appointment might involve.
Who Is It For?
Dr Ben recommends sleep dentistry for patients who have significant concerns about dental treatment, a strong gag reflex, sensory sensitivities, or a history of negative dental experiences that have led them to avoid the dentist altogether. If any of these apply to you, a consultation is the right first step to find out whether sleep dentistry is clinically appropriate for your situation.
