Sedation Dentistry in Wagga Wagga

Gentle, stress-free dental care for nervous patients

At iSmile Dental Clinic Wagga, we understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for some people. Whether it’s anxiety, a previous negative experience, a strong gag reflex, or the need for complex treatment, we believe you should never have to avoid the care you need because of fear. That’s why we offer safe, professional intravenous (IV) sedation dentistry—so you can relax and feel at ease throughout your treatment.
Why Sedation Dentistry Might Be Right for You

Sedation dentistry allows you to receive the dental care you need without the stress or discomfort you might normally experience. It is especially helpful for patients who:

  • Feel nervous or anxious about dental treatment
  • Have had negative dental experiences in the past
  • Require longer or more complex procedures
  • Have a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still
  • Need multiple treatments completed in fewer visits
With IV sedation, your worries melt away, and you’ll be able to have your treatment in a calm, relaxed state. Many patients have little to no memory of the procedure afterwards.
How IV Sedation Works

On specific days, a fully qualified anaesthetist from Canberra joins our team to provide intravenous sedation right here in our clinic. Alternatively, we can arrange treatment under general anaesthetic at our local day surgery facility.

During IV sedation:
  • A sedative is administered through a small vein in your arm or hand
  • You will remain conscious but deeply relaxed and drowsy
  • We can communicate with you if needed
  • You will not feel anxious or uncomfortable during the procedure
  • You may have little to no recollection of the treatment afterwards
This approach is sometimes called “twilight dentistry” or “sleep dentistry,” but unlike a general anaesthetic, you are still able to respond if we need you to.
Your Safety is Our Priority

Sedation dentistry is very safe when carried out by an experienced professional. Before recommending it, we will:

  • Review your full medical history
  • Discuss the benefits and any potential risks
  • Ensure you are an appropriate candidate for sedation
Your anaesthetist will monitor you closely throughout your treatment and recovery, so you are in the safest possible hands from start to finish.
