IV Sedation
IV (intravenous) sedation enables you to have dental procedures performed while under a sedative that is injected before treatment commences. Whether it’s a more complex case or you are very anxious about visiting the dentist, IV Sedation – also known as twilight or sleep dentistry – makes the experience more comfortable for you.
If IV sedation is recommended for your treatment, you’ll need a responsible adult to escort you afterwards. We also advise that you have someone with you for 12 hours post IV sedation.

FAQ's
Rather than general anaesthetic where you are unconscious during treatment, IV sedation will put you into a relaxed sleep like state. You will still be able to follow what the dentist asks you to do, but usually won’t remember much once the procedure is over. IV Sedation needs to be administered by a specially trained professional.
We may recommend IV sedation during your assessment, particularly if you are having major treatment or have a complex case. You can also request it during your treatment planning with Dr Gopal and her team.
Methoxyflurane is an inhaled medication used to reduce pain. At the recommended dose it can provide relief to patients without producing anaesthesia. Onset of relief occurs quickly after inhalation and leads to a state of deep sedation.
You must not be given Methoxyflurane if you or a family member has or are suspected of having an allergic reaction to Methoxyflurane or other inhalation anaesthetics. There are other circumstances that will prevent you being able to take this drug, please speak with your healthcare professional before undergoing treatment.
