At Smile n Shine in Newbury, we specialise in sedation dentistry, also have other alternatives like gas and air solutions that ensure a stress-free and comfortable patient experience.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a technique that helps patients feel
relaxed during dental treatments. Unlike general anaesthesia, where you’re
fully unconscious, sedation allows you to remain awake but calm and at ease,
often feeling like you’re drifting in and out of sleep. It’s a safe and
effective way to help those with dental anxiety or discomfort manage their
dental care.

Understanding Your Sedation Options
At Smile n Shine, we recognize that every patient has unique needs and preferences regarding feeling comfortable during dental visits. That’s why we provide a range of sedation options tailored to suit your specific requirements and level of anxiety.
Here are the sedation options we provide to help you achieve your ideal level of comfort during treatment:
- Inhalation Sedation: A mixture of sedation gas and oxygen is inhaled through a mask to help you relax. This method is gentle and wears off quickly after your treatment.
- IV Sedation: Administered directly into your veins, IV sedation offers deeper relaxation. This option is particularly effective for longer or more intensive dental procedures.
Why Consider Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry has transformed the dental experience for countless patients, making it more comfortable and stress-free. For those who experience anxiety or fear about dental visits, sedation provides a way to receive necessary care without discomfort. It also allows longer procedures to be completed in fewer visits, helping patients save time and reduce stress. The benefits of sedation dentistry include:
- Reduced anxiety: Experience peace of mind and a stress-free visit, even if you’ve had dental phobia for years.
- Comfort and pain relief: Sedation minimizes physical discomfort and helps you stay relaxed during the procedure.
- Quick recovery: Most sedation methods allow you to recover quickly and go about your day soon after the appointment.
- Access to necessary care: Patients who’ve avoided treatment can finally address long-overdue dental issues and regain confidence in their smiles.
