Frequently Asked Questions

Oral sedation involves administering a prescribed medication with the purpose of inducing relaxation in patients who experience anxiety prior to undergoing a dental procedure. This approach is frequently employed, particularly for individuals who experience nervousness. The medication is often administered the evening before the scheduled procedure to address potential sleep difficulties arising from heightened anxiety.

Intravenous sedation is a clinical process involving the delivery of medications through an intravenous (IV) cannula, also commonly referred to as a ‘drip’. Referred to alternatively as Conscious Sedation or Twilight Sleep Sedation, IV Sedation exhibits a higher level of predictability within the dental context compared to oral or inhalational sedation methods. This means a sedationist can meticulously tailor the dosage of medication administered, ensuring optimal efficacy and safety.

Inhalational Sedation, also referred to as Relative Analgesia or Nitrous Oxide Sedation, is a form of conscious sedation employing a mixture of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen gases. This combination is administered through a nasal mask which is then inhaled by the patient. Upon inhalation, these gases are absorbed into the lungs and subsequently affect the level of alertness in the brain.

Comprehensive Dental Sedation Options

We offer a complete range of sedation techniques tailored to meet your individual needs and comfort level:

Inhalational Sedation — (Nitrous oxide or 'happy gas') provides gentle relaxation through a comfortable mask, allowing you to remain conscious while feeling entirely at ease. This mild sedation is perfect for patients with moderate anxiety and can be easily adjusted throughout your treatment.
Oral Sedation — Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication before your appointment, helping you feel profoundly relaxed and drowsy. Many patients find this option ideal for longer procedures or when they need significant anxiety relief.
IV Sedation — IV is our most profound sedation option, administered directly into your bloodstream for immediate effect. Dr Fine's specialised licensing ensures this advanced technique is delivered with the highest safety standards, providing deep relaxation while maintaining your ability to respond to instructions.

Our expertise extends beyond sedation administration. We provide comprehensive general dentistry for Perth families, including pain control management, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout and after your treatment.
