Sedation in Keighley
Dental procedures are not something that many look forward to.
Agree? We understand that dental visits can be challenging for some. Whether you feel nervous, have a dental phobia, or require a lengthy procedure, sedation services in Keighley are designed to provide you with a calm, comfortable, and pain-free experience.
What is sedation?
To put it simply, sedation uses safe and mild medicines to calm your nerves while undergoing a dental procedure.
Unlike general anaesthesia, which puts you completely to sleep, sedation, or ‘conscious sedation,’ as referred to in dental terms, allows you to remain conscious but in a dreamlike, worry-free state.
You’ll feel at ease, with little to no memory of the procedure afterwards.

Sedation is usually reserved for situations where it’s genuinely needed, ensuring every experience is personalised to your comfort and specific requirements. However, conscious sedation in Wibsey is suited for patients who:
- Experience severe dental anxiety or phobias of dental procedures.
- Feel nervous about drills, the sound of dental tools or oral procedures.
- Have a strong gag reflex (the feeling of nausea when dental tools and materials are placed inside the mouth) that makes treatment difficult.
- Struggle with sitting still for long procedures.
- Require multiple or complex treatments in one visit, like full-mouth dental implants or all-on-4 and all-on-6 implants.

The sedation process
We begin with either sedative tablets or IV sedation as delivered by our sedation professionals.
LOAD MORE LESS
The medication takes effect quickly, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed. Our team monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
Recovery
Once your treatment is complete, you continue to rest in a quiet, comfortable area until the sedation wears off.
LOAD MORE LESS
Even though you wake up soon after and are ready to go about your day, we recommend a family member or a friend to take you home, as the mild sedative effects may linger for a few hours.
