We appreciate that many people dislike a dental visit, and some of us have a great deal of anxiety about visiting the dentist. Our practice facilities are designed to create as relaxing an environment as possible and our team take great care to try to reduce any anxiety as much as possible. At our practice you are always in control. Our dentists will always explain what your options are and give you all the information you need. If, however, your anxiety is more serious and impacts upon your ability to receive dental treatment, then you can take advantage of our sedation service.

Intravenous sedation

This is also called I.V. sedation and is a technique which allows you to feel pleasantly relaxed and comfortable, both during and after treatment. It alleviates anxiety, yet you remain responsive to commands or requests.

It can be used for any treatment that you may be anxious about, from simple cleaning to complex removal of teeth. Intravenous sedation has been provided at The Buckley Practice, safely, calmly and comfortably for more than 30 years. The Buckley Practice was one of the first in the U.K. to offer this procedure.

Our anxious patients who have had this treatment tell us that not only do they feel comfortable in getting the dentistry they want but that it also reduces their anxiety levels about future visits because they have no negative memories of their treatment. If you think sedation might benefit you, please just ask any member of the team or contact us on 0208 460 9742 or by email.
