Sleep Dentistry
If you’re avoiding the dentist because you find dental treatments unbearable, or you’re looking to complete multiple treatments in a single setting, sleep dentistry can provide a unique solution to your dentistry needs.
At Maroubra Dental Avenue, we offer sleep dentistry that places patients in a dream-like state (while remaining conscious and able to respond). This can be of major benefit to patients who are navigating busy schedules, who may struggle to stay calm during the sounds, smells and sensations of dentistry work, who have sensitive teeth or gums, small mouths, poor responses to local anaesthesia, strong gag reflexes, or who may be struggling with anxiety around dental care.
As almost every form of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures can be completed using sleep dentistry, this is often the preference of patients requiring several treatments, opting to have them completed in a single sitting.
Sleep dentistry can offer the benefits of:
- Safety and comfort – this established practice has many years of success behind it, offering patients a relaxed, pain-free dental alternative
An amnesiac effect – when patients undergo sleep dentistry, they’re unlikely to remember the procedure - Convenience – as so many restorative and cosmetic procedures can be grouped together, the need for a hospital referral is removed, allowing for multiple procedures to take place at once
- Simplified recovery – the majority of sleep dentistry patients are able to return home 30 minutes after their treatment
- Affordability – sleep dentistry offers an inexpensive solution to many common patient complications
Whether you’re evaluating sleep dentistry for its time benefits or you’re looking to avoid the dentist’s chair, sleep dentistry can provide a unique solution to your dentistry needs. To learn more and find support for your dental care, contact our friendly, expert team at Maroubra Dental Avenue.
