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.
“We don’t withhold sedation from anyone, but helping someone conquer their anxiety gives them confidence for life – and lets us build a long-term relationship.” – Dr Ayzaaz Akram
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.
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.
