Sleep dentistry can be used for any dental procedure, making treatments more comfortable and stress-free. Whether you’re coming in for a routine or more complex procedure, sedation can relieve the stress of your visit.
Some of the procedures commonly performed with sleep dentistry include:
We provide different sedation dentistry options tailored to each patient:
A prescribed medication to reduce anxiety before treatment
A deeper form of dental sedation for increased relaxation
Used for complex procedures, allowing patients to be fully asleep.
Proper preparation is essential for a smooth and safe sleep dentistry experience. Following the pre-procedure instructions carefully helps reduce any risks and ensures the sedation works just as it should. Below are key steps to take before your appointment to ensure a comfortable recovery.
Avoid food and drink for the prescribed period before your treatment. This allows for the safety and efficacy of general anaesthetic or sedation.
If you receive deep sleep dentistry, you won’t be able to drive afterwards. Arrange for a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you until the effects disappear.
After sedation, you might feel drowsy, so give yourself time to rest. Avoid strenuous activities and follow any aftercare instructions from your dentist.
Medicare offers rebates for sleep dentistry, with coverage based on sedation duration. The rebate percentage varies, providing partial support for shorter procedures and higher rebates for longer treatments requiring extended dental sedation.
For more details on your eligibility and potential rebates, consult our clinic or check with Medicare.
