We know that some dental treatments can be daunting to nervous patients. Perhaps you're nervous about the sounds and sensations, or you've had a bad experience in the past and are worried about this happening again. At the Implant and Cosmetic Smiles clinic we take pride in providing the best possible experience to our patients. Dental sedation can help you to feel more at-ease during your treatment. You will still be awake and conscious, but you will feel relaxed and calm and wont remember much about the procedure after.

Conscious sedation is not only used for very nervous patients. It's also a popular choice for any patient undergoing longer procedures. such as full mouth Implant procedures. This is because of something known as the "twilight sleep". When you are under sedation, you feel calm and relaxed, and time seems to pass by more quickly. This means that longer procedures will feel much shorter, and patients rarely remember the procedure afterwards.

How can con­scious seda­tion help?

You don’t have to be a ner­vous patient to enjoy the ben­e­fits of con­scious seda­tion. It’s also high­ly effec­tive for mak­ing longer pro­ce­dures seem to pass by quick­ly and help you to relax dur­ing oral surgery. Here are just some of the ways it can help.

Help ner­vous patients

The most com­mon use for den­tal seda­tion is to help ner­vous patients over­come their fear and have the treat­ment car­ried out in a relaxed and drowsy state with no pain

Help with long procedures

Seda­tion can help longer pro­ce­dures to feel like they are much short­er for patients espe­cial­ly long implant procedures

Help any­one relax

Seda­tion helps patients feel more relaxed mak­ing the den­tal pro­ce­dure so much more comfortable

No Pain

Sedat­ed patients will still be giv­en local anaes­thet­ic or numbed but you wont feel or remem­ber this

No or Lit­tle recall of the procedure

You wont remem­ber much about the pro­ce­dure and patients often think they were asleep but you remain con­scious throughout

Quick Recov­ery

You will be able to go home and rest short­ly after the pro­ce­dure is complete

Here’s what to expect

Curi­ous about the treat­ment jour­ney and what is includ­ed? Here’s what you can expect when you choose The Implants and Cos­met­ic Smiles Clin­ic as your treat­ment provider.

If you're curious about conscious sedation at the dentist, we encourage you to book an appointment with our team. We will take a complete medical history and determine if you are a suitable candidate.

You won't be able to drive or leave on your own, so you will need someone to collect you and stay with you after your appointment. Our staff will be on hand if you have any questions about your aftercare.

Fre­quent­ly asked questions

We’ve answered the most com­mon patient ques­tions below. If you still have ques­tions about your den­tal treat­ment, get in touch to book a consultation. 

You will feel drowsy , sleepy and very relaxed throughout the procedure and wont remember much about the dental procedure.

The simple answer is you should not feel any pain during the procedure. You will still be numbed or given local anaesthetic also , but this is still carried out very gently so you wont even remember it being done.

No, it's not the same as a general anaesthetic, and you will still be conscious throughout your procedure. Some people find that they can nod off to sleep while they are undergoing treatment, but this is because they are so relaxed during the treatment. Many patients think they were asleep afterwards as they don't recall the procedure being carried out and are surprised at how easy it was.

The sedation will last as long as the procedure needed to be carried out. The recovery time once the procedure is complete is very quick and you will go home shortly after but you must be accompanied by an adult as you will still feel a little drowsy for several hours after. Patients often describe it as a nice feeling like they have had a few glasses of wine to drink after.

Don’t just take our word for it.

  • A Radiant Ode to Smiles Sublime, When first I ventured through your gilded door, My teeth, alas, were dull, their gleam no more. A shy façade, my grin did shyly hide, Yet through your art, my joy was amplified. Oh, clinic of splendour! A dental retreat, Where science and artistry seamlessly meet. Your staff, so erudite, yet charmingly spry, Transforming molars with a glimmering eye. Each visit began with such cordial delight, Receptionists chirping like birds at first light. Their bonhomie contagious, their manners pristine, A convivial welcome to this dental scene. The consultation? Oh, a masterclass grand! With mirrors and models and gestures so planned. Each treatment explained with meticulous care, A symphony sung in a reclining chair. And what of the dentists? Let me effuse! With prowess unmatched, they skilfully choose The tools of their trade, both precise and arcane, Crafting smiles worthy of global acclaim. They work with finesse, a meticulous flair, Replacing my scepticism with love and repair. Needles? A trifle! Their touch so adroit, I barely noticed nay, I almost rejoiced! Implants and veneers? A masterstroke true, Like sculptors of yore, they painstakingly drew A vision of beauty, proportion, and grace— Artistry etched upon each smiling face. And oh, how the banter did brighten my day! The jocular quips kept my fears at bay. "Your smile’s so puerile!" one wittily said, And we laughed till my cheeks blushed a rosy red. The ambience too deserves its own verse, With décor so chic, I can’t help but rehearse My praise for the lighting, the scents in the air, And the calming playlist—beyond compare! Post-appointment, the care didn’t wane, Follow-ups aplenty, no detail too plain. Advice on flossing? A thorough cascade, Ensuring my newfound smile won’t fade. Oh, cosmetic clinic, so resplendent, so fine, You’ve not just enhanced this dear smile of mine. You’ve gifted me confidence, radiant and true, A testament owed entirely to you. To those seeking brilliance, let this be a sign— Entrust your teeth to these artists divine! For a smile is a treasure, a gift to beguile, And thanks to you all, I wear mine with style. So, here’s my ovation, my jubilant cheer, To the clinic that’s banished my dental despair. A toast to perfection, to service supreme, To the purveyors of smiles that endlessly gleam.

  • 100% 5 stars, very professional, Dr Zaid Chowdry and his wonderful team put me at ease, and took their time in explaining the process, always very friendly, and I'm extremely happy with the end result

  • Very professional service and exceptional results. Worked with Aryan whose attention to details and work ethic is second to none. Roxana and Sam were very efficient, kind and caring, always with a smile on their faces, making your dentist visit more pleasant. Big shout to Kirsty at the reception who, at times, I felt was acting as my PA making sure I am notified of my appointments in a manner that suits me (either call, message or emails) and ensuring that invoicing is transparent and I know what to expect and when. The culture of this place is like a family, so kudos to the partners, and this translates well to the way they treat their patients - an extension of their family.

  • Seen Hygienist Charlene last week. She explained everything before starting and gave great advice. She did an exceptional job on teeth and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

  • My teeth were in a terrible state, and I'd had previous ordeals with dentists, so I was very needy and anxious when I chanced upon Dr Zahid Chowdhry. 9 months later, my smile and confidence have been restored. I have felt totally included and fully supported in every step of the journey by the whole team. So, Thank you for changing my life. I'm actually excited about returning in the new year to continue what we've started.

  • These guys are amazing. I had a long program of work which was all spelt out and scheduled. Every step was explained and nothing was too much for them. The nurses are brilliant and Dr Bakhshi was awesome, your welfare is his absolute priority. Thank you for taking good care of my mouth :)

  • After trying three other dentists, I chose Implant & Cosmetics Smiles after seeing Dr Azhar Bakhshi and his team. They are all so friendly and you feel you are a priority to them. You walk in and they greet you with a smile. I was given a free consultation and a recommended course of treatments to resolve my teeth issues. Dr Azhar Bakhshi and his team make you feel comfortable and give you the confidence that any dentistry needs will be addressed professionally. They are all kind, patient and dedicated. Dr Azhar Bakhshi has skilfully resolved my cross bite with satisfaction. I had 8 implants fitted and I can honestly say that he is the best dentist I ever had. At all times I was treated with respect and advised of all procedures before starting and I felt safe and comfortable in the dentist’s hands. Thank you for the amazing work you have done on my teeth. I am absolutely delighted with the end result. I can smile with confidence and I am really happy with my teeth now

  • The service and treatment throughout by Dr Zahid Chowdhry and his team was excellent. The initial free of charge appointment to assess my needs was a bonus and Dr Chowdhry's friendly manner and easy to understand details of the treatment at each stage was excellent. I am very happy with the front tooth implant and I thoroughly recommend this Smile Clinic. Christine West
