Questions
What sedation options are available for anxious patients?
We offer inhalation sedation, oral sedation, and intravenous sedation. Our specialists will recommend the most appropriate option based on your anxiety level and treatment needs.
How does the NHS treatment change affect children's care?
Current NHS guidelines limit sedation options for under-12s to inhalation only. This may affect complex treatments, but we'll discuss all available options including private advanced sedation if needed.
Can I book specialist treatments directly?
While we accept referrals from dentists, you can contact us directly if you're not registered. Our general dentists will assess your needs and coordinate specialist care when required.
What post-treatment care is provided after sedation?
Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions, including recovery timelines, medication guidance, and follow-up arrangements. Escorts receive specific care instructions for the first 24 hours post-treatment.

Oh my goodness, what a fabulous team! Had to have an extraction today and I didnt suffer one bit of anxiety or pain, even when Id got home and the anaesthetic had worn off. They were all so kind and the system worked perfectly - I have almost no recollection of anything after the sedation kicked in, including how I managed to put my earrings back in and set the sat nav for my husband! Huge vote of thanks to this brilliant surgery!!

I just wanted to thank you for making my daughters first experience of a filing go so well. She was extremely anxious before hand and the lovely dentist and nurse made her feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole appointment. She even said afterwards "I don't know why I was so worried mummy" Thank you.

Unbelievable service today. I’m a very anxious dental patient. I broke a tooth during lockdown and needed an extraction. My regular dentist couldn’t do it due to my anxiety. The sedation was amazing. I can barely remember getting home to Surrey let alone the extraction. Highly recommended
