Dental sedation in Leicester, calm care when you need it
Sedation Dentistry and Nervous Patient Care in Leicester
At Carisbrooke Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. Whether due to a past experience, fear of pain, or general anxiety, we are here to make your visit as calm and comfortable as possible.
Our team takes pride in providing gentle, compassionate care and offering sedation options for those who feel nervous about dental treatment. Every step is designed to help you feel relaxed, supported, and in control.
Our Approach to Nervous Patient Care
We believe that trust, understanding, and communication are the foundation of comfortable dental care. From your very first visit, we take the time to listen to your concerns and explain each stage of treatment clearly and patiently.
We adapt our pace to suit you, offer breaks whenever needed, and use modern, minimally invasive techniques to reduce noise, vibration, and discomfort.
For patients with higher levels of anxiety or those undergoing complex treatment, we also offer conscious IV sedation, delivered safely by a visiting experienced sedation dentist who works closely with our clinical team.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Conscious IV sedation involves administering medication through a small vein in your arm or hand, helping you feel deeply relaxed and calm throughout your treatment.
You’ll remain awake, able to respond to the dentist, and breathe on your own — but you’ll feel completely at ease, often with little or no memory of the procedure afterwards.
Sedation is ideal for:
- Patients with dental anxiety or phobia
- Complex surgical treatments (e.g., implants, extractions, or endodontic procedures)
- Patients requiring multiple treatments in one visit
- Those with a strong gag reflex or medical-related anxiety
Sedation for Complex and Specialist Treatments
Sedation can be especially helpful for patients undergoing advanced treatments such as:
- Implant placement or sinus lift procedures with Dr Jeremy McCahill
- Complex endodontic treatment with Dr Tousif Nathani
- Regenerative or periodontal surgery with Dr José Zurdo or Dr Rajan Nansi
- Full-mouth rehabilitation with Dr Deleep Basi
Our sedation dentist works alongside your treating clinician to ensure a smooth, safe, and reassuring experience from start to finish.
What to Expect
- Pre-Assessment – Before treatment, we’ll review your medical history and explain the sedation process in full.
- During Treatment – You’ll feel calm and drowsy but remain aware and able to communicate. Your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels will be continuously monitored for safety.
- After Treatment – Sedation takes a short time to wear off. You’ll need someone to accompany you home and rest for the remainder of the day.
Carisbrooke offers expert dental implant treatments using advanced technology and experienced specialists. From single tooth replacements to full fixed dentures, we provide personalised care to restore your smile, function, and confidence.
At Carisbrooke Dental, we believe every tooth is worth saving. Our Specialist Endodontist, Dr. Tousif Nathani, provides advanced root canal treatments using precision technology to relieve pain and restore the health of your natural tooth. If you’ve been told your tooth needs extraction, there’s a good chance we can save it.
Will I be asleep during sedation?
No. You’ll be awake but in a deeply relaxed state, with little memory of the procedure.
Is sedation safe?
Yes. It’s administered and monitored by an experienced visiting sedation dentist in a controlled, clinical environment.
Can I have sedation for any treatment?
Sedation is available for most dental treatments, from routine extractions to complex implant or endodontic care.
Will I need someone to stay with me afterwards?
Yes. You’ll need an escort to take you home and stay with you for several hours after your appointment.
Is sedation suitable for nervous patients?
Absolutely. It’s a safe, effective option for managing dental anxiety and helping patients complete essential care in comfort.
