Sedation for Anxiety

For patients with dental anxiety or more complex treatment needs, Aurum Dental offers sedation options designed to support a calmer and more comfortable experience. Sedation can help appropriate patients feel more relaxed during treatment while allowing necessary dental care to be completed in a carefully controlled clinical environment.

Treatment begins with an assessment of your medical history, anxiety levels and dental needs. We discuss whether sedation may be appropriate and explain the available options, preparation requirements and aftercare. During treatment, appropriate monitoring is used to support your safety and comfort.

Sedation fees depend on the type of sedation, appointment length and treatment requirements. A clear estimate is provided as part of your personalised treatment plan.

Sedation is not suitable for every patient and may involve side effects or risks that will be discussed before treatment. Alternatives can include shorter appointments, behavioural support, inhalation sedation, local anaesthetic alone or staged treatment.

FAQs:

Will I be unconscious? This depends on the type of sedation used; many forms allow you to remain responsive.

Will I remember everything? Some patients experience reduced awareness or memory of treatment.

Can everyone have sedation? Suitability depends on your medical history and individual assessment.

For nervous patients in York, our team provides a supportive and patient-centred approach designed to make dental treatment feel more manageable.
