Depending on the extensiveness of care necessary, our highly skilled Mandurah dentists may recommend either intravenous (IV) sedation or general anaesthesia (GA).
IV Sedations
When sedation medication is delivered directly into your bloodstream through an IV, it makes you drowsy, up to the point where you quickly fall asleep.
Our Mandurah dentists find IV sedation to be one of the best ways to ensure optimal patient comfort. It is extremely safe and can be carefully managed throughout the dental appointment.
General Anaesthesia
GA provides the deepest level of safe sedation. Since it does suppress your respiration, a breathing tube is also used to ensure your safety. The method of sleep dentistry is best for longer, more complex procedures.
