The different types of dental sedation we offer
Feel at ease in the chair with your choice of sedation
Minimal sedation
This involves using a mild sedative, often taken orally or inhaled, to help the patient relax while remaining awake and alert.
Moderate sedation
This level induces a deeper state of relaxation, and you might feel drowsy or even fall asleep during the procedure. However, you can be easily awakened and you’ll still be able to respond to prompts from the dentist.
Deep sedation
In this state, patients are on the edge of consciousness and may not respond to prompts or remember much of the procedure.
Inhaled sedation
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a popular choice for anaesthesia. A mask is placed over your face and you inhale the harmless gas, making you feel very relaxed. It’s perfect for those needing mild to moderate sedation.
Oral sedation
You’ll take a pill around an hour before your treatment. This is good for minimal or moderate sedation - you’ll be drowsy, but still awake.
Intravenous IV sedation
Intravenous IV sedation is fast-acting. You receive a sedative through an IV straight into a vein. It’s an approach that helps the dentist to have more precise control over your level of unconsciousness, which makes it particularly good for complex dental work.

I have never felt so at ease. From the consultation to discussing a treatment plan everyone that I came across were super friendly and completely honest in what would work for me or not. Ellie in particular was amazing, so friendly and you genuinely felt like she really cared about your treatment and reasons behind this! My partner even ended up booking treatment as well! I can’t wait for my treatment date!

Dental sedation FAQs
Still have questions about sedation dentistry?
The experts at Yorkshire Dental Suite answer the questions we receive most.
Yes. Sedation dentistry is specifically designed for people who have a fear or anxiety about dental procedures. We want you to feel completely at ease when you visit your dentist.
Arguably, yes. IV sedation will sedate you to a deeper level. This is achieved in a quick, safe and predictable way. While oral sedation can be useful, sedative drugs administered in this way may take longer to become effective. This can mean that the right levels of sedation might not be achieved when the drug actually sets in.
Not at all. You may still be fully conscious depending on the level of sedation you’ve received, but you won’t feel any pain.
You may feel a slight pinch as the needle is inserted, but this typically lasts just a few seconds. If this a concern to you, we can also provide a numbing cream to minimise the sensation. Most of our clients experience no discomfort during their dental treatment and feel surprisingly good afterwards.
Yes. We recognise that a young patient can feel as much, if not more, anxiety than an adult. We’ll make sure that the level of sedation your child receives is completely safe.
There are some risks of dental sedation to be aware of. These risks will be discussed with you by your dentist:
- Drowsiness
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Bruising (depending on the sedation method you choose)
- Amnesia
- Vomiting (rare cases)
Your dentist will provide guidance. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure a safe experience.
The answer to this depends on the type of sedation you have. Usually, inhaled sedation wears off around 30 minutes later, whereas the effects of IV sedation may be felt for up to 24 hours post-procedure. For your safety, we do not advise driving home after sedation, so please ensure you have a travel companion.
Make your dentist aware if you are taking medication or experiencing ongoing health problems. They will determine if you are suitable for sedation.
At Yorkshire Dental Suite, we choose not to put patients to sleep while operating. General anaesthesia is more dangerous than local anaesthesia, and we also require your co-operation during the procedure, for example, your dentist may ask you to move your head.
