Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Sedation for gum surgery lets you have periodontal treatment while you are relaxed rather than tense. We confirm how long your appointment will take, and how long you will need to recover, at your first consultation.
The practice is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, a specialist periodontist.
Gum surgery is often postponed because patients expect it to be uncomfortable, and gum disease left untreated keeps progressing. If that is what is holding you back, sedation dentistry in London is the way through: IV sedation and oral sedation in the practice, nitrous oxide for children, and general anaesthesia through a hospital pathway. We confirm your suitability at a consultation.
Dr Sodeinde, as the periodontist carrying out the surgery, assesses both the gum treatment and the sedation together, so you receive the right level of care without unnecessary procedures.
Fees are itemised before anything begins; see sedation dentistry costs in London. Where one method is not enough, we offer combination sedation.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
We provide intravenous sedation for patients who feel overwhelmed by the clinical environment or have a deep-seated fear of the dentist. You stay conscious but relaxed and in control. The same applies to patients having sedation for wisdom teeth removal. A responsible adult must escort you home. Our sedation aftercare guide covers the recovery. We confirm suitability and any safety concerns at the consultation.
We work out which method will put you most at ease, review your medical history, and plan the gum surgery itself.
The clinician gives the sedative in a controlled dose. For deeper relaxation we provide IV sedation. You stay conscious but calm.
With the sedation working and the area numbed, we carry out the periodontal work. If implants are part of your plan, sedation for implant surgery can be coordinated within it.
We monitor you until the sedation has worn off, and you leave our Primrose Hill practice with written instructions and a clear picture of the recovery timeline.
We book a follow-up to check the gums are healing as intended and to answer any questions about the result.
Every case begins with a complete consultation, a medical history review and a pre-assessment. Gum surgery is carried out by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071). Sedation is administered by appropriately trained clinicians, and we monitor you throughout the procedure and during recovery.
You must arrange for someone to accompany you home, and you must not drive or operate machinery for at least 24 hours after sedation.
Fees depend on the specialist gum treatment you need and the sedation used. We confirm the cost at your consultation and give you an itemised quote.
It depends on the extent of the surgery. We plan the timing at your assessment.
Local anaesthetic numbs the area. The sedation keeps you calm for the length of the procedure.
The sedation wears off after the appointment. How the gums heal depends on the surgery itself, which Dr Sodeinde discusses with you. Patients who also need sedation for root canal are managed the same way.
We settle the sedation method at a clinical review of your medical history and anxiety level. Read what happens at your sedation consultation and how to book.
