At Leederville Dental we understand and care about you.
A previous negative experience often cause a trip to the dentist to evoke feelings of anxiety and fear, and that is why our team has a special interest in anxiety free and gentle dentistry.
Born from Dr Richard Kozlowski’s compassionate nature, Leederville Dental offers a variety of sedation dentistry procedures that can ensure a pleasant, pain-free and comfortable visit to the dentist. Richard Kozlowski is Perth’s most experienced dentist focusing on iv dental sedation with over 15 years experience.
Imagine receiving a quality dental treatment and not remembering a thing!
Sedation dentistry is a helpful option for those who suffer from dental anxiety or fears, and allows those who suffer a dental phobia to receive quality dental care in a comfortable, anxiety free environment. If you are afraid to visit the dentist, then never fear…sedation dentistry is here!
Sedation induces a deep sleep, the medication puts you in a dream like state so that you are unaware of the treatment, and will not remember it. You will experience a pain-free procedure and feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire treatment.
Complex dental treatments can now be undertaken in as little as a single dental appointment, as opposed to multiple appointments, saving you time and money. Sedation dentistry can be used for any type of dental procedure.
If you suffer from dental anxiety or a fear of needles, have a strong gag reflex, or hate the sound of drills, sedation dentistry can be a great way to minimise treatment time, and maximise comfort.
At Leederville Dental, we offer a range of sedation techniques including intravenous sedation, light sedation and general anaesthetic.
Our dentists support anxious patients throughout their entire dental journey by taking time to listen to their concerns and thoroughly explaining each procedure before they commence.
What is conscious sedation and how does it help during dental treatment?
Conscious sedation helps you feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures. You stay awake and can respond but are less aware of the treatment, making the experience more comfortable.
What sedation options are available?
Options include inhalation sedation (happy gas), oral sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation. The type used depends on the treatment, your comfort level, and medical history.
Is conscious sedation safe and what can I expect after the appointment?
Yes, it is safe when provided by trained professionals. After the procedure, you may feel drowsy or light-headed and will need someone to accompany you home.
