General & Preventive
Twilight Sleep Sedation
For patients who avoid the dentist entirely, and for long appointments. A specialist anaesthetist sedates you in the chair; you stay conscious and breathe on your own, but remember almost none of it.
- Anaesthetist present
- Specialist
- Several treatments in one visit
- Combined
- Home with an escort
- Same day
How it differs from general anaesthetic
You are not unconscious. You breathe for yourself, respond to instructions, and recover far faster — but the drugs suppress memory formation, so the appointment will not be something you carry around afterwards.
Who it suits
Severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, or simply a large amount of work that you would rather have done in one sitting than six.
On the day
Fast beforehand as instructed, bring someone who can take you home, and clear the rest of the day.

You will feel normal within a few hours but should not drive or sign anything important.
