Dental Sedation Dublin

It is common to feel anxious or nervous about a visit to the dentist, but in a dental emergency, it is important that you get to a dentist as soon as possible to treat the problem. Many dentists are now aware of the phobia surrounding dentistry, and offer treatments such as sedation to help you feel calm and relaxed during emergency procedures.

To ensure our patients receive the best possible treatment we have designed our services around the understanding of the anxiety which a dental visit may cause. With the assistance of dental sedation, we provide you with the treatment you need without you feeling any pain. Click here to find more about our nervous patient policy and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

The effect

When dental sedation is applied, the area around the tooth is numbed removing almost all sensitivity for the duration of the treatment. For most patients the effect will continue to last for a couple of hours after the procedure, easing you back into your daily activities with almost no discomfort.

What is Dental Sedation?

Dental sedation uses medication to ease you into a relaxed, comfortable state during a dental procedure. This means that you will feel less stress and anxiety during treatment. It is a perfect solution for those who suffer dental phobia but require emergency dental treatment. Dental sedation is not an anaesthetic and will not make you unconscious but rather allow you to enter a relaxed, sedative state whilst treatment takes place.

Types of Dental Sedation

There are several different types of dental sedation, including:

Intravenous (IV) sedation;
Oral sedation;
Inhalation sedation.

Benefits of Dental Sedation

There are many great benefits to dental sedation. These include:

Minimised anxiety during dental treatments.
Minimal to no discomfort while the dental procedure is taking place.
Compatible for most emergency dental treatments.
There are a variety of sedative medications available that are used to affect the central nervous system, putting patients at ease and helping them to relax.
Patients with a sensitive gag reflex can undergo dental treatment with ease as the muscles will be completely relaxed.

If you are a nervous patient in need of emergency treatment, please call 01 525 2928 immediately to book an emergency appointment.

Fantastic experience. Dr. Ksenija Zaporozceva, and all the staff made the whole wisdom tooth removal quick and painless. I’ll definitely recommend this place to anyone for dental issues, and I’ll be coming personally! Thank you :)

I’ve been to this dental clinic multiple times, and each visit has been exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional, always making me feel comfortable and well cared for. The entire team is young, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about their work. Dr. Mohammed Abed, in particular, stands out. He is highly professional, with remarkable patience and attention to detail. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring I understand each step of my treatment and feel at ease. His careful and serious approach instills a great deal of trust, and I always feel that I am in good hands. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for outstanding dental care! John Zhu

From the very start the team made me feel so comfortable such a warm and friendly welcome, i personally have a fear of dentist from past experiences which had me skeptical about trying somewhere new, honestly there was no need to worry. Amazing dentist amazing team, and they are just there to help you really enjoy you'r smile again. No pain no worry 😊 never thought i would say this but can not wait to go back to the dentist.

Thank you Dr Jalal for taking such great care of my teeth and making such impressive improvements to the aesthetic of my smile. I cannot thank Dr. Jalal enough for his absolutely brilliant work, making the best decisions for my needs. Thanks to the excellent team and the customer management front desk team too.

Dr Mohammed Abed is honestly hand on heart the most amazing, reassuring dentist I have ever been too. He removed all 4 of my wisdom teeth and I’m honestly glad I found him. As someone with a fear of the dentist he honestly really does put you at ease and I knew straight away I was in safe hands. He is an extremely empathetic individual with a clear love for what does. For anyone who needs to make that trip to the dentist please please go and see Dr Mohammed. You really won’t regret it. If you see this, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me. I will never forget the kindness you showed. You really are one of a kind. ☺️. 5/5 stars given and if I could give more I would.

Always really helpful

I had a great experience with Dr Ian. He was very thorough and made me feel calm and at ease throughout my whole treatment. Even my fillings were painless (and I am very squeamish!). I also got composite bonding on my front teeth and he did a fantastic job. They are so natural looking and gave me a major boost in my confidence, I can’t stop smiling. 4 stars only because it was a little expensive and perhaps other clinics out there are “cheaper” but that being said, I have confidence that I will have lasting results and the standard in this practice is incredibly high, which is important to me with dental work. I will certainly place my trust in them with any dental work I need in the future. Thank you Dame Street Dental.

Can't recommend Dame St Dental enough! I had a consultation with Dr Alison Quirke who could not have been nicer. She was so informative, listened to my concerns and then created a treatment plan for me. Dr Quirke then booked me in for an extraction with Dr Saad Ahsan - what a pro. I was in and out in 15 minutes! I told him I was a nervous patient and he was so kind and guided me through the entire procedure and was so supportive. I honestly think this experience has cured my fear of the dentist! I'm really impressed with the service I received, and the pricing is also fair. The surgery is also super modern and comfortable. Thank you so much!
