Information for Referring Dentists

At Fine Dental Sedations, we recognise that some patients require specific care that extends beyond traditional dental treatments. Dr Fine and our dedicated team provide comprehensive sedation dentistry services, ensuring your patients receive the comfort and care they need for successful dental procedures.

Expertise You Can Trust

Dr Fine brings extensive qualifications to sedation dentistry, with credentials that set him apart in Western Australia. His advanced training includes a graduate diploma in clinical dentistry from the University of Western Australia, with a focus on sleep disorders—a critical foundation for understanding patient sedation needs and airway management.

His skills and training extends to chronic pain management, as evidenced by a Master of Science in Medicine from the University of Sydney, with a focus on chronic pain disorders of the head and neck. This additional knowledge proves invaluable when treating patients with complex pain presentations or those requiring extensive dental work.

Most notably, Dr Fine holds a graduate diploma in conscious sedation and pain control from the University of Sydney—an elite qualification held by only a handful of dentists in Western Australia. This prestigious certification, combined with special dispensation from AHPRA to legally perform these specific anaesthetic procedures, ensures your patients receive the highest standard of dental sedation in Perth

Why Choose Fine Dental Sedations?

We provide a full spectrum of sedation options tailored to your patients' specific needs and anxiety levels.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves the provision of carefully selected medication taken one hour prior to the patient's procedure and it's designed to help anxious patients relax.

Intravenous Sedation

Intravenous sedation involves administering carefully controlled sedative medications directly into your bloodstream through a small needle placed in your arm.

Medical Monitoring

Our state-of-the-art facility features advanced monitoring equipment and our team follows all emergency protocols, providing you and your patients with complete peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during medical monitoring?

During a sedation procedure at Fine Dental Sedations, Dr Fine continuously tracks vital signs using advanced monitoring equipment to ensure the patient's safety and well-being throughout treatment.

As a qualified dental sedationist with elite qualifications from the University of Sydney, Dr Fine follows rigorous monitoring protocols throughout the entire procedure.

What Does Medical Monitoring Entail?

Medical monitoring involves the continuous assessment of multiple physiological parameters simultaneously. This comprehensive approach allows Dr Fine to detect any changes in the patient's condition immediately and respond appropriately to maintain their safety and comfort.

The key aspects of medical monitoring include:

Heart Rate — Dr Fine monitors for any significant changes or abnormalities in heart rate, ensuring the cardiovascular system remains stable throughout the sedation procedure.
Blood Pressure — Continuous monitoring tracks for hypertension or hypotension, which can be indicators of adverse reactions to sedation medications or changes in the patient's physiological state.
Respiratory Rate — Breathing pattern is carefully monitored to ensure it remains regular and sufficient. Some sedatives can suppress respiratory function, requiring immediate attention if changes occur; therefore, it's critical to monitor respiratory patterns closely.
Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) — Dr Fine assesses the level of oxygen in the blood using a pulse oximeter, providing real-time information about how well the patient's body is receiving and utilising oxygen during the procedure.
Level of Consciousness — Dr Fine continuously monitors the patient's level of consciousness to ensure they remain in a safe and responsive state appropriate for the type of sedation being administered.

This comprehensive monitoring continues from the moment sedation begins until the patient is fully recovered, providing multiple layers of safety throughout their dental treatment experience.

Seamless Referral Process

We've streamlined our referral process to make collaboration effortless. Upon receiving your referral, our team conducts thorough preoperative assessments to ensure each patient is appropriately evaluated for sedation suitability. We maintain open communication throughout treatment, providing detailed progress reports and post-procedure summaries to ensure transparency.

Our scheduling accommodates urgent cases while maintaining flexibility for routine referrals. We understand the importance of continuity of care and work closely with referring practitioners to ensure smooth transitions and optimal outcomes.

Patient-Focused Approach

Beyond technical expertise, we prioritise patient education and comfort. Our team takes time to explain procedures, address concerns and create a calming environment that reduces anxiety before sedation even begins. This approach often leads to more cooperative patients and more successful treatments.

We also provide comprehensive post-procedure care instructions and are available for consultation should any concerns arise during recovery.
