Regent Dental is one of the only practices on the Isle of Man with an in-house anaesthetist. We can offer our patients the option of Conscious sedation.

What is Conscious Sedation?

Conscious sedation is a safe and effective technique that helps patients relax during dental procedures. Unlike general anesthesia, it allows you to remain awake and responsive while feeling significantly more comfortable and at ease. This method is ideal for individuals who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, or require extensive treatments.

Benefits of Conscious Sedation

  • Reduces Anxiety and Stress: Feel at ease throughout your procedure.

  • Minimizes Discomfort and Pain: Enhanced comfort during treatments.

  • Allows for Efficient Treatment: Enables the dentist to perform multiple procedures in one visit.

  • Quick Recovery Time: Most patients recover quickly with minimal side effects.

  • Safe and Monitored: Administered by trained professionals to ensure your safety.

Types of Conscious Sedation We Offer

  1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) – A mild sedative inhaled through a mask to help you relax.

  2. Oral Sedation – A prescribed sedative taken before your appointment to alleviate anxiety.

  3. IV Sedation – Administered through a vein for a deeper state of relaxation while maintaining consciousness.
