Sedation

At Ilchester Dental & Implant Centre in Yeovil, we believe dental care should be comfortable and free from fear. For many people, visiting the dentist brings feelings of anxiety, nervousness, or even panic. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone and we are here to help. With our professional sedation dentistry services, you can experience calm, stress-free treatment while we take care of your smile.

‍

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

‍

Sedation dentistry uses safe, clinically proven techniques to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is especially beneficial for those who feel anxious about visiting the dentist, have a strong gag reflex, or need complex or lengthy treatment.

Sedation does not necessarily mean being fully asleep. With IV sedation, you will remain conscious but deeply relaxed, allowing the dentist to perform treatment comfortably while you feel calm and at ease. Our skilled team ensures your safety, comfort, and peace of mind throughout the procedure.

‍

Who Can Benefit From Sedation Dentistry?

‍

Sedation dentistry is ideal for:

• Patients with dental anxiety or fear.
  
• Those who have had traumatic past dental experiences.
  
• People who struggle with sensitive teeth or strong gag reflexes.
  
• Patients who require complex or multiple treatments in one visit.
  
• Individuals with difficulty sitting still during dental procedures.
  
• Anyone who simply wants a more relaxed, stress-free dental experience.

At Ilchester Dental & Implant Centre, our experienced team will discuss your medical history and tailor the level of sedation to your specific needs.

Sedation Dentistry We Offer: IV Sedation

We provide safe and effective IV sedation, administered directly into the bloodstream for deep relaxation.

IV sedation is perfect for patients undergoing longer or more complex procedures, such as dental implants or multiple treatments in one appointment. You will remain responsive, but in a deeply calm state, and most patients remember very little of the procedure afterward.

The Benefits Of Sedation Dentistry

‍

Choosing sedation for your dental care offers many advantages:

• Eliminates fear and anxiety – Feel calm and at ease throughout treatment.
  
• Pain-free experience – Sedation works alongside a local anaesthetic to block pain.
  
• Time-saving – Longer procedures or multiple treatments can often be completed in a single visit.
  
• Improved oral health – Patients who once avoided the dentist can now receive the care they need.
  
• Comfort for sensitive patients – Helpful for those with a strong gag reflex or difficulty staying still.
  
• Safe and controlled – Monitored carefully by our trained team throughout the procedure.

3. Administration – IV sedation is carefully administered in a controlled setting. Our team monitors your vital signs throughout the procedure.
