WHAT IS SLEEP DENTISTRY?
Sleep Dentistry is a form of dental sedation and allows an intense form of relaxation throughout the entire dental procedure. It may be referred to as “Sedation”, a twilight anaesthetic or “Twilight Sleep”. In our practice, “Sleep Dentistry” is administered by an experienced specialist anaesthetist who specialises in dental sedation and maintains a practice providing sedation to dental patients as well as many other forms of complex surgery.All of the safety equipment that you would expect in a major hospital will be provided to ensure your safety throughout the procedure.
Although you may have been unaware that it is available, once “Sleep Dentistry” is experienced you will have an entirely new, positive and relaxed outlook when you next see the dentist.
Like general anaesthetic, sedation is incredibly safe and does not require you to be an inpatient of a hospital. Allowing your procedure to be done in our surgery offers Dr Kestenberg and his team access to all our resources making your treatment so much more efficient. The procedure does not require hospitalisation or extended recovery. You can have “Sleep Dentistry” at Coburg Dental Group while comfortably resting in the dentist’s chair. During “Sleep Dentistry” you are in a very calm and relaxed state and breathing spontaneously. Your sedation under “Sleep Dentistry” allows you to be calm, relaxed and unaware of anything going on before the dentist begins your treatment. When you wake up you will have no memory or recollection of anything that has occurred.
You’ll be ready to go home after a short recovery period, in the company of a responsible adult who is prepared to stay with you for 24 hours. You are usually ready to go home after 20 to 30 minutes once you get to recovery.
