Dental treatment with sedation

About service

Sedation - the suppression of the patient's consciousness and sedation with medication. During sedation, the patient feels drowsy or asleep, relaxed and calm, and free from fear and stress.  The level of sedation - from mild to deep - will be chosen by a qualified specialist in our clinic according to your condition and the extent of the procedure.

During intravenous sedation, drugs are administered intravenously, which can lead to deep sedation, which is characterised by a drowsy state or a sleep from which the patient can be woken up. During sedation, the patient's respiratory and cardiovascular function remains intact, i.e. no additional measures are needed to maintain airway patency, and protective reflexes such as coughing and swallowing are maintained. During this procedure, a thin and short plastic catheter is inserted intravenously, through which drugs are administered to induce sedation. The level of sedation can be controlled - deepened if necessary. During intravenous sedation, the patient's heart rate, arterial blood pressure and blood oxygen concentration are monitored throughout the treatment under the supervision of a doctor. The anaesthesiologist is present during the sedation.

After the procedure, the patient is admitted to a private ward for further care and discharged home with an attendant when the effects of the drugs wear off.

When is sedation treatment necessary?

• Severe fear or anxiety about dental treatment:

Many people have a strong fear or anxiety about dental treatments, which can complicate the treatment and cause additional stress for both the patient and the doctor.

• Low pain threshold:

Some patients have extremely sensitive teeth or a low pain threshold, which can make even the smallest dental procedure very painful.

• Difficult or lengthy procedures:

Difficult and lengthy dental procedures, such as implants, complex tooth extractions or multiple treatments, can be carried out more easily and quickly if the patient is relaxed and pain-free.

• Patients with special needs:

For people with certain physical or mental disabilities who are unable to sit still or cooperate during a procedure, sedation may be necessary to ensure safe and effective treatment.

• Traumatic memories of dental treatment:

Patients who have had bad experiences with previous dental treatment sessions may use sedation to avoid psychological stress and fear of relapse.

• Children:

For children who cannot stay calm for long or have a fear of dental treatment, sedation can help to ensure that treatments are carried out without stress and discomfort.

• Comfort:

Sedation can help the patient feel more comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure, which can be helpful when multiple procedures are performed in one visit.
