Sedation offers a relaxing and worry-free dental treatment experience
We understand going to see the dentist can be a worrying experience for many people. As a Chichester dental practice, we have built a reputation for treating nervous patients with our kind and gentle techniques.
Sedation is a popular option for people who want a relaxing and worry-free dental treatment experience, and we are happy to offer sedation on all treatments; from routine checkups to more complex procedures.
-
What sedation do you offer?
In dentistry, there are two kinds of sedation: Relative Analgesia and Intravenous Sedation (IV).
If you are interested in a worry-free dental treatment, sedation might be right for you. All of our patients will receive a pre-treatment consultation prior to the appointment so that we can review your medical history and explain your sedation options in detail.

Relative Analgesia (Inhalation Sedation)
Relative Analgesia (Inhalation Sedation)
Also called Inhalation Sedation, this is a gentle way to be sedated where you relax and inhale an odourless gas. Inhalation sedation is similar to Entonox, which is commonly used on the maternity ward and has other names such as: Nitrous Oxide, Gas and air or Laughing Gas.
Benefits of Inhalation Sedation:
- Effective within minutes
- No chaperone required, and you can drive and go about your day as usual
- Most popular type of dental sedation
- No needles required
Inhalation Sedation has been the gold standard for mild to moderate dental anaesthesia for decades. A small, comfortable mask will be placed over your nose and when inhaled you will feel relaxed and happy. This is a popular option because as soon as your treatment is complete and the gas stops, the effects subside immediately and you can go about your day as normal. No chaperone is required to accompany you to your appointment and you are safe to drive home.
Intravenous Sedation (IV)
-
Intravenous sedation is a safe and comfortable option for those with moderate to high levels of dental anxiety. We will administer an anxiety-reducing medication intravenously, which will put you in a calm and relaxed state. You will still have verbal and physical response but will feel wonderfully relaxed and happy, feeling no stress or pain!
Benefits of IV Sedation:
- Pain free and starts working quickly
- We carefully monitor and can adjust the dosage if necessary
- You will not remember the procedure when you wake up
- Lasts longer allowing for multiple dental treatments to be completed in one session
With IV sedation, the effects take longer to wear off meaning you will have to be taken home by a chaperone who will be with you the rest of the day. You will also not be allowed to drive or operate machinery until the next day.
IV Sedation is great for complex or long treatments, tooth removal, fear of choking and is safe for use on children over the age of 12.

Our client success story
The problem
Bob had lost his lower front six teeth due to infection. He was very keen to have his missing teeth replaced but did not like the idea of a denture, which could be prone to moving around. Bob required a fixed, long-term solution, and we discussed different ways this could be achieved. The choice was either to have a bridge attached to his natural teeth, or have the large gap restored with teeth supported on dental implants.
The solution
Bob’s preference was to have teeth put back with dental implants. To keep costs reasonable, we attached the six teeth to two dental implants with a restoration called a bridge. As you can see from the photographs, these work very successfully indeed and Bob has been enjoying the benefits of this bridge for nearly 5 years now.

The problem
Dennis came to the surgery and presented with a tooth which was too decayed to restore. This tooth was situated near the front of his mouth and his other teeth were healthy. He did not want a removable solution, he wanted it fixed and to feel like one of his own natural teeth.
The solution
Dennis preferred the idea of a fixed new tooth, and we agreed a dental implant would be the best option.

The problem
Janet presented with severe gum disease, chronic pain, a lower denture which was very painful and an upper denture that was very loose-fitting. We walked Janet through a variety of options with regards how best to attend to her oral situation.
The solution
Janet’s choice of restoration was a new upper denture, retained with the teeth she naturally had. This was beautifully secure and restored her confidence to smile broadly. For her lower teeth, she chose to have a complete new lower denture, retained by two dental implants. These implants now hold her lower denture securely in position. Janet is thrilled with her new teeth and is happy to be out with family and friends and eat in restaurants with confidence again.

The problem
Topsy presented to us with a missing front tooth after tripping on the pavement in town and knocking it out.
The solution
The tooth had been knocked out very cleanly, and after discussing the patient’s options with her, we provided her with an immediate temporary front tooth. For the longer term, Topsy wished to replace the missing tooth but did not want a denture or bonded bridge, as these come with the possible risk of falling out. Her preference was for a fixed solution, and it was agreed that a single tooth dental implant and crown was the answer.

After
The problem
Caroline visited the surgery with an upper right side bridge that had succumbed to bad tooth decay and had to be removed.
The solution
We provided Caroline with a temporary solution, which ensured she did not have a gap in her teeth from the time the decayed bridge tooth was removed, to the time when the space was restored. For Caroline, the solution involved the placement of two Straumann dental implants, and at the same time we repaired the damaged bone ridge.
