At Waratah Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful or overwhelming for some patients. That’s why we offer sleep dentistry options to help make your treatment experience as calm and comfortable as possible.
We provide:
Oral Sedation in Dentistry
Oral sedation is a safe and commonly used method to help patients feel relaxed and calm during dental treatment. It involves taking a prescribed sedative medication (usually in pill or liquid form) about an hour before your appointment.
In-chair inhalation sedation (Penthrox)
Penthrox is a gentle, fast-acting sedative that you inhale through a handheld device during your treatment. It helps you feel calm and relaxed while remaining fully awake, aware, and able to respond to your dentist.
General Anaesthesia at Lithgow Hospital
For more complex or extensive procedures, Dr Gabe can treat patients under general anaesthesia in a hospital setting. This is particularly beneficial for:
- Patients requiring significant dental work
- Adults and Children with high anxiety
- Adults with disabilities or medical conditions that make in-chair treatment difficult
Your comfort is our priority. With sleep dentistry, we make it easier for you or your loved ones to receive the care you need—safely and stress-free.
