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.

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.

Letters from our patients in Dublin

I had an excellent experience at the dentist with Dr Faiza. She was really kind and incredibly thorough. I highly recommend her.

Mary Nelson-Giles

I needed to have a tooth extracted and Dame Street Dental was recommended to me. My oral surgeon, Dr Mohammad Abed, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, professional and polite. He was also articulate and able to communicate the procedure to me at all times. It was my first experience with Dame Street Dental and I am pleased to recommend this to anyone in need of a dental procedure.Thank you, Dr Abed.

Underwent root canal procedure and crown with Dr Abed and Eva in the Dame Street location. I found them both great for the procedure and the aftermath. Very helpful and put me at ease.

Hollie Gilson

I got my dental implant, and the process was incredibly quick and painless. It cost me half the price of what my regular dentist charges. I'm impressed with the advanced technology used for the implant. The clinic was modern, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Thanks so much

As an existing patient of Dame Street Dental for many years, I can only express my deep appreciation for all of their lovely staff and their incredible devotion to their patients. Their level of care is unparalleled and is evident in their kind approach to any dental issue you might be facing, especially if you're an anxious patient like I am. They make a remarkable effort to ensure that no pain is felt during any of the procedures. Throughout my time with them, I've undergone several smaller procedures, such as tooth fillings and contouring, as well as more serious treatments under the care of their brilliant implantologist, Dr. Mohammed Shirin. He performed a bone grafting procedure to strengthen my jaw, making it suitable for implants, as well as placing dental implants, abutments, and artificial teeth, with which I couldn't be happier. There was no pain during any of those procedures, and I experienced only minimal discomfort during the healing process at home, thanks to his exceptional care and the top-quality medication I was prescribed, which made the entire experience much more manageable. I couldn't recommend their clinic highly enough!

I recently visited Dame Street Dental Hospital to have a molar tooth extracted after my own dentist was unable to numb the nerve. From the moment I arrived, I was met with exceptional care. The dentist and nurse were absolutely amazing—kind, reassuring, and incredibly patient. As someone who tends to get very nervous about dental procedures, their professionalism and warmth made all the difference. They took the time to explain everything and made sure I felt as comfortable as possible throughout the process. The procedure itself went amazingly, completely painless and I truly appreciated their empathy and understanding. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommend this dental hospital, especially for anyone who feels anxious about dental treatments. Thank you Dr Mohammad Abed!

Dr Faiza Kanjaoui handled my procedures with the utmost professionalism I felt in such good hands. Dr Faiza Kanjaoui Explained each stage of my process and made me feel at ease every time was a real joy to sit in the dentist chair. Honestly felt she went above and beyond every time a real credit to her craft. Great character overall. I highly recommend anyone going forward. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
