The Key To Comfort

For many people the most nerve-wracking part of a dental visit is the ‘needle’. If an area is numbed inexpertly or too quickly, a sharp stinging sensation can be felt.  We ensure you experience is as painless as possible and completely comfortable at all times.  We have three kinds of sedation available at Designer Dental Studio, in addition to local anaesthetic:

Intravenous Sedation (IV)
IV sedation, also known as “twilight” sedation, does not result in a loss of consciousness. The drug causes amnesia, so your memory of the dental appointment will be limited, if anything.

Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a form of inhalation sedation. You will maintain awareness of your surroundings, while feeling relaxed and calm.

Penthrox
Penthrox is another form of inhalation sedation that relaxes and calms you during treatment. As with laughing gas, you still maintain an awareness of your surroundings.

Local Anaesthetic Only
Local anaesthetic is a solution injected into the soft tissues of the mouth in order to achieve anaesthesia, or ‘numbness’. This ensures you feel no pain during your dental appointment.

Most traumatic dental experiences stem from pain felt due to inadequate local anaesthesia. At Designer Dental Studio we know that sedation is the key to a comfortable dental treatment.
