    Who it suits

    When sedation may be considered

    Many people manage well with time, a stop signal and clear explanations. Sedation may help when anxiety remains severe or a longer procedure would otherwise be difficult to tolerate.

    • Severe dental anxiety or phobia
    • A strong gag reflex
    • A difficult previous dental experience
    • Long or complex treatment
    • Difficulty tolerating treatment while fully alert
    • A wish to begin with conversation only

    How treatment works

    From first visit to finished smile

    01

    Talk first

    The first visit can remain an examination and conversation. We learn triggers, priorities and what control looks like for you.

    02

    Assess safely

    Medical history, medicines, treatment needs and suitability are reviewed before sedation is offered.

    03

    Plan the visit

    You receive fasting, escort and recovery instructions. A responsible adult must follow the agreed arrangements.

    04

    Treat and recover

    The visiting sedationist monitors you while the dentist treats. You recover under supervision and must not drive or make important decisions afterwards.

    Fees

    Why choose us

    Control before, during and after treatment

    No judgement

    How long it has been and why you are anxious changes how we plan the visit, never how you are treated.

    Sedation when justified

    We also discuss non-sedation approaches and only recommend IV sedation after individual assessment.

    Clear safety rules

    Medical checks, monitoring, escort arrangements and recovery restrictions are part of the treatment, not small print.

    Common questions

    Asked at almost every consultation

    How much is dental sedation in Twickenham?

    IV sedation starts from £550 with a visiting sedationist and is charged in addition to dental treatment. A medical and dental assessment is required first.

    Will I be asleep during IV sedation?

    IV conscious sedation makes you deeply relaxed, but it is not a general anaesthetic. You remain able to respond, and many people remember little of the appointment afterwards.

    Can I drive home after sedation?

    No. You need a responsible adult escort and must follow the written restrictions on driving, work, alcohol and important decisions after the visit.

    Is sedation right for everyone?

    No. Medical history, medicines, pregnancy, treatment needs and the available escort all affect suitability. Alternative anxiety support or a referral may be safer in some circumstances.
