Sedation Dentistry in Fulham

Feel at Ease with Sedation Dentistry in Fulham

Dental anxiety should never stand in the way of getting the care you need. At Pure Smiles in Fulham, our gentle and experienced team offers safe sedation options to help you feel calm, relaxed, and in control—no matter the treatment. Whether you’re feeling nervous about a routine visit or require help with more complex procedures, we’re here to make your dental experience as stress-free as possible.

Gentle, Stress-Free Dental Care

Fear of the dentist is more common than you might think, and we take it seriously. Sedation dentistry allows us to provide the care you need in a way that feels comfortable and manageable. Our supportive team will talk you through your options and create a treatment plan that prioritises both your dental health and emotional wellbeing.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you feel deeply relaxed during dental procedures. It doesn’t put you fully to sleep—you’ll still be conscious and able to respond—but you’ll feel calm and unbothered by what’s happening around you.

At Pure Smiles, we typically offer oral sedation, a safe and effective method that helps reduce anxiety before and during treatment. For patients who require a deeper level of relaxation, we’ll discuss the appropriate solution during your consultation.

Ideal for Nervous or Anxious Patients

If the thought of a dental visit fills you with worry, sedation dentistry may be the solution. It’s ideal for:

  • Patients with dental phobia or anxiety
  • Those undergoing longer or more complex treatments
  • People with a strong gag reflex
  • Individuals who’ve had traumatic dental experiences in the past
  • Anyone who simply wants a more relaxed dental visit

Treatments That Can Be Carried Out Under Sedation

We offer sedation across a wide range of procedures, including:

  • General dentistry treatments (fillings, extractions, etc.)
  • Cosmetic procedures such as veneers and teeth whitening
  • Restorative work and more complex care
  • Hygiene visits, in certain cases

FAQs

Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?

No. Sedation doesn’t make you unconscious, but it does help you feel calm, drowsy, and detached from the treatment. You’ll still be able to respond to the dentist but may not remember much afterwards.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, it is extremely safe when administered by experienced professionals. We’ll review your medical history beforehand and closely monitor you during your visit to ensure everything goes smoothly.

How long does it take to recover from sedation?

You’ll likely feel drowsy for a few hours after treatment, so you’ll need someone to take you home. Most patients feel back to normal by the next day.
