How Does Sleep Dentistry Work?
If you have been putting off much needed dental treatment because of fear or anxiety, Freedom Dental can offer sedation dentistry as an option.
At Freedom Dental, we offer sleep dentistry in Melbourne for patients who have a fear of going to the dentist, and it may also be appropriate for people who:
- have a low pain threshold;
- can’t sit still in the dentist’s chair;
- have very sensitive teeth;
- have a strong gag reflex; and
- require a large amount of dental work to be completed.
At Freedom Dental, we want your experience to be calm and relaxed. We offer these sleep dentistry options to assist:

General Anaesthetic
Complete sleep experience. We offer this service to suitable patients with bookings made in advance for your dental treatment. You can plan your work/life schedule and have all your treatment done during the procedure. Ideal for those patients with mild to extreme phobias. Patients requiring general anaesthetic will be required to fast for their procedure and have someone drive them home from their appointment.

IV Sedation
Some patients have conditions that restrict them from having general anaesthetic administered. This is when IV Sedation can be a good alternative. This procedure is also scheduled in advance and can be used for all aspects of your dental treatment needs.
