In the heart of the newly developed Geelong Healthcare Precinct, Norlane Dental Aesthetics
and Implants stands as a beacon of modern dental care. Adjacent to the impressive Geelong
Day Surgery, our clinic is uniquely positioned to offer comprehensive dental services, including
the increasingly popular sleep dentistry. This innovative approach is especially beneficial for
patients who experience anxiety when facing dental procedures.
Understanding Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, utilises medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. At Norlane Dental Aesthetics and Implants, we provide both local and general anaesthetics, administered by our skilled on-site anaesthetists. This flexibility allows us to tailor the sedation level to the specific needs and preferences of each patient, ensuring a stress-free experience.
The Role of Geelong Day Surgery
Our collaboration with Geelong Day Surgery, a specialist and modern-built day surgery centre specialising in dental surgeries, enhances our ability to offer high-quality care. The centre is equipped with the latest technology and staffed by experienced medical professionals who are adept at managing everything from routine dental procedures to complex surgeries under anaesthesia.
Benefits of Sleep Dentistry
- Anxiety Reduction: Dental anxiety is a significant barrier that prevents many individuals from seeking necessary treatment. Sleep dentistry offers a solution by providing a sedated, worry-free experience. Patients wake up with little to no memory of the procedure, having been completely relaxed throughout.
- Pain Management: With sleep dentistry, the fear of pain is effectively managed. Patients feel no discomfort during their treatment, which is particularly advantageous during more invasive procedures.
- Efficiency: Sleep dentistry allows dentists to work more efficiently. Procedures that might typically require multiple visits can often be completed in a single session while the patient is sedated. This is not only convenient for the patient but also enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Safety: Administered by experienced anaesthetists, sleep dentistry is safe. Patients are continuously monitored, and their vital signs are checked throughout the procedure to ensure everything goes smoothly.
- Comprehensive Care: For patients requiring extensive dental work or multiple procedures, sleep dentistry enables these to be performed at once, reducing the time and psychological stress associated with repeated dental visits.
Ideal Candidates for Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry is ideal for patients who:
- Experience severe anxiety when visiting the dentist.
- Have a low pain threshold.
- Need large amounts of dental work.
- Have a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty sitting still during procedures.
