Sleep Dentistry or Dental Sedation services
Anaesthetic Services for Nervous Patients
At Dental Care Group, we understand that dental anxiety can make it difficult for some patients to receive the care they need. Whether it’s a mild concern or a severe dental phobia, our compassionate team is committed to providing a calm and supportive environment for every patient.
To help make treatment more comfortable, we offer access to anaesthetic services provided by a qualified, independent anaesthetic team. This allows our patients to receive dental care under general anaesthesia or intravenous (IV) sedation within our practice setting — safely and conveniently.
What Are Mobile Anaesthetic Services?
Mobile anaesthetic services involve a visiting specialist anaesthetist and their nursing team who bring hospital-grade anaesthesia equipment and medications to our practice. This enables dental procedures to be performed under general anaesthesia or IV sedation without the need to attend a hospital or day surgery facility.
All anaesthetic services are provided by registered medical professionals who are experienced in dental anaesthesia and fully accredited to deliver these services in a community setting.
Supporting Nervous Patients of All Ages
Our mobile anaesthetic service is suitable for patients of all ages who may feel anxious or have difficulty undergoing treatment in the dental chair. This may include:
Children requiring extensive dental treatment
Adults with dental anxiety or phobia
Patients with a strong gag reflex or difficulty remaining still
Individuals with special healthcare needs
Our team takes the time to ensure patients and their families fully understand the process, what to expect on the day, and how to prepare before and after treatment.
Safety and Professional Standards
Your safety is our highest priority. All procedures performed under anaesthesia are carried out according to Australian Dental Association (ADA) and Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) guidelines. Continuous monitoring is maintained throughout the procedure and recovery period.
Our practice facilities meet the necessary clinical and safety requirements for the provision of anaesthesia services. The visiting anaesthetic team is responsible for assessing suitability, administering the anaesthetic, and managing recovery before discharge.
A Supportive and Respectful Approach
We understand that every patient’s comfort level and needs are unique. Our caring clinicians will discuss all available options with you — including local anaesthetic, IV sedation, and general anaesthetic — to help you make an informed decision about your care.
