Undergoing dental implant surgery can cause anxiety for many patients. At London Dental Specialists, we understand these concerns and offer various sedation options to ensure your comfort. Sedation methods like conscious sedation with oral medication or nitrous oxide gas can help you relax while remaining awake during the procedure. Some patients prefer to be completely asleep, though this isn't typically necessary for implant surgery. Our experienced team tailors the sedation approach to your specific needs and anxiety level. With proper sedation, you won't feel pain during the procedure, and many patients have little memory of it afterwards. Below are common questions about sedation for dental implant surgery that might help ease your concerns.
London Dental Specialists offers several types of sedation for dental implant surgery, including:
Our specialists will discuss which option is most appropriate for your specific needs during your consultation.
Sedation is not always necessary for dental implant surgery, but it is recommended for many patients. Local anaesthesia is always used to ensure you don't feel pain at the surgical site. Additional sedation options are available for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a strong gag reflex, need multiple implants placed, or require more complex procedures. At London Dental Specialists, we assess each patient individually to determine the most appropriate level of sedation for their comfort and safety.
With most sedation methods used at London Dental Specialists, you will not be completely asleep during dental implant surgery. Local anaesthesia will numb the surgical area, while conscious sedation (oral or IV) will help you feel deeply relaxed but still able to respond to verbal cues. You'll likely have little to no memory of the procedure afterwards. If you have severe anxiety or require extensive treatment, we can discuss your sedation options to ensure maximum comfort during your procedure.
IV sedation at London Dental Specialists involves administering sedative medication directly into your bloodstream through a small needle in your arm or hand. This creates a deep state of relaxation while maintaining consciousness. With IV sedation, you'll feel drowsy and comfortable, with little to no memory of the procedure afterwards. Our qualified anaesthetists carefully monitor your vital signs throughout treatment, adjusting medication levels as needed. IV sedation is particularly beneficial for longer implant procedures or patients with dental anxiety.
To prepare for sedation during dental implant surgery at London Dental Specialists, you should:
Our team will provide you with specific pre-operative instructions based on your chosen sedation method.
No, you should not feel pain during dental implant surgery with sedation at London Dental Specialists. Local anaesthesia will completely numb the surgical area, while sedation helps you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. With IV sedation, most patients have little to no memory of the treatment and report a positive experience. Our specialists prioritise your comfort and can adjust sedation levels as needed to ensure you remain pain-free during the entire implant placement process.
The duration of sedation effects after dental implant surgery varies depending on the type used. Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes after the gas is stopped. Oral sedation effects typically last 2-8 hours after your procedure. IV sedation effects generally diminish within 1-4 hours, though you may feel groggy for up to 24 hours. At London Dental Specialists, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend having someone accompany you home after receiving any form of sedation beyond local anaesthesia.
Dental sedation at London Dental Specialists is generally very safe, but it's not appropriate for everyone. Factors that may affect suitability include pregnancy, certain medical conditions, medications, and age. Before recommending sedation for your implant procedure, our specialists will thoroughly review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies. We employ qualified anaesthetists who monitor patients throughout sedated procedures to ensure safety. During your consultation, we'll determine the safest and most effective sedation option for your specific situation.
The cost of sedation for dental implant surgery at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the type of sedation used and the duration of your procedure. Local anaesthesia is included in the base cost of implant surgery. Additional sedation options like nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation have separate fees. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment plan with all costs clearly outlined, including sedation fees. We offer various payment options to help make your treatment more affordable.
