Your Destination for Relaxing Dental Treatment in Dubai
Conveniently located amidst the hustle and bustle of Dubai, True Smile Works stands as a beacon of comfort and relaxation in the realm of dental care. Our commitment to exceptional dentistry extends to our approach to sedation dentistry, where we understand and address the barriers that dental anxiety or fear may pose. At our clinic, we strive to cultivate a soothing environment where every patient can receive the treatment they need with ease and peace of mind.
Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry or conscious sedation, involves the use of medication to help patients relax and remain comfortable during dental procedures. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals with dental phobia, severe anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or difficulty sitting still for extended periods.
At True Smile Works, we offer a variety of sedation options to suit the needs and preferences of our patients. These include:
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your dental appointment to induce a state of relaxation. This option is ideal for patients with mild to moderate anxiety and allows you to remain conscious but deeply relaxed throughout the procedure.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is administered through a mask worn over the nose during treatment. It produces feelings of euphoria and relaxation, helping patients feel more at ease during their dental visit. Nitrous oxide is safe, effective, and wears off quickly after the procedure.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
Intravenous sedation involves administering sedative medication directly into the bloodstream through a vein. This method allows for deeper sedation levels and is often preferred for more complex or lengthy procedures. With IV sedation, patients typically have little to no memory of the treatment and experience a faster recovery.
Sedation dentistry offers numerous benefits for both patients and dental practitioners. These include:

The duration of sedation varies depending on the type of sedation used and individual factors. Some sedatives wear off quickly after the procedure, while others may have lingering effects for several hours. Your dentist will provide specific instructions and guidelines for post-sedation care.
