Treating anxious patients has always been the cornerstone of Chatswood Dental Centre. To help calm your nerves we have introduced a number of Sedation techniques for your increased comfort.
Sedation
Sedation Dentistry enables patients to undergo complex dental treatments (which often require six to eight appointments) in just one consultation. Feeling no pain at all, you will be relaxed and at ease throughout the procedure. During Sedation Dentistry treatment you are not unconscious at any time, just in a deeply relaxed state. Your vital signs are monitored throughout your entire visit and you are never left alone. Dependent on your individual needs, Sedation Dentistry may last between 2 to 6 hours and may be used for many dental treatments.
The Wand
A common fear of the dentist involves the use of local anaesthetic injections (otherwise known as the needle) to numb your teeth and gums prior to treatment. If an area is numbed inexpertly or too quickly, a sharp stinging sensation can be felt. The Wand is a revolutionary Computerised device which slows down the delivery of the anaesthetic and more accurately controls the areas to which it is delivered. The anaesthetic is delivered at a constant pressure and volume that's typically below the threshold of pain. The wand is not only virtually painless, it also can eliminate the ‘numb face' feeling that you normally experience after some dental visits.
