Combination Sedation Techniques in Shepherd's Bush

Combination Sedation Techniques Consultation and Assessment

At London Dental Specialists, our Combination Sedation Techniques begin with a thorough consultation and assessment. This crucial first step ensures we tailor the sedation approach to your specific needs and medical history. Our experienced sedation dentists will evaluate your dental anxiety levels, overall health, and the complexity of your planned dental procedure.

During your initial consultation, we will:

• Review your medical history: We'll discuss any pre-existing conditions, medications, and previous experiences with sedation or anaesthesia.


• Assess your anxiety levels: Using standardised scales, we'll determine the extent of your dental anxiety to choose the most appropriate sedation technique.


• Explain sedation options: We'll discuss various combination techniques, such as:
  
  
  
  • Nitrous oxide with oral sedatives
  
  
  • Intravenous sedation with local anaesthesia
  
  
  • Oral sedatives combined with intravenous medications
  
  
  
  


• Perform a physical examination: This includes checking vital signs and assessing your airway to ensure safe administration of sedation.


• Discuss the planned dental procedure: We'll explain how the chosen sedation technique will complement the specific treatment you require.

Our combination sedation techniques typically involve the use of multiple sedative agents to achieve optimal relaxation and comfort. This approach allows us to tailor the sedation level precisely to your needs, ensuring a safe and anxiety-free dental experience.

Following the consultation, we will:

1. Create a personalised sedation plan: Based on our assessment, we'll design a combination sedation technique specifically for you.


2. Provide pre-procedure instructions: We'll give you clear guidelines on fasting requirements and medication adjustments if necessary.


3. Answer any questions: Our team will ensure you fully understand the sedation process and address any concerns you may have.

Our combination sedation techniques typically involve:

1. Pre-procedure oral sedative: To ease anxiety before arrival at our clinic.


2. Nitrous oxide administration: For quick onset relaxation upon settling into the dental chair.


3. IV sedation initiation: If required, for deeper and more controlled sedation.


4. Local anaesthesia: To ensure complete numbness in the treatment area.
