Sedation, General anaesthesia

Solving a dental problem often presents us with great challenges. We have to make a considered decision on who to choose for this trustworthy task. We also need to find a practice that not only provides excellent dental care at considerable savings, but can also reduce our fears of dental procedures with unique methods. At 5DENT dental practice, there are two levels of pain-free treatment. Learn more about them.

• Pain-free: Both sedation and anaesthesia completely eliminate pain during dental treatment, so you can feel comfortable throughout.
• Reduced anxiety: Many patients are afraid of dental procedures or the noise and sight of instruments. Sedation and anaesthesia can reduce or completely eliminate these fears
• Movement control: Some patients have difficulty with their movements when undergoing dental treatment. Sedation or anaesthesia allows the dentist to perform the necessary procedure undisturbed
• There are no bad memories: For many people, it is negative memories of dental treatments that keep them from going to the dentist. In treatments with sedation or anaesthesia, these negative memories are not formed
• Efficiency: Some of the more complex procedures can be performed more easily and quickly when the patient is sedated or anaesthetised, as they do not react involuntarily to pain or stress and the doctor can concentrate on the procedure without distraction.
• Multiple procedures in one session: For people who need multiple procedures, sedation or anaesthesia allows them to be performed in a single session, saving time and money.
• Weakened pharyngeal reflex: Some patients have a strong pharyngeal reflex that makes it difficult to handle and take impressions. Sedation and anaesthesia help to eliminate this reflex
• Deeper cleaning: Periodontal treatments can sometimes be painful and uncomfortable. With anaesthesia or sedation, periodontal treatments can be performed more deeply and effectively without making you feel uncomfortable
• Personalised sedation or anaesthesia: anaesthetists are able to tailor sedation or anaesthesia to your individual needs, taking into account your particular sensitivities, fears and the nature of the procedure

• Our dentist will draw up a treatment plan based on the panoramic X-ray or 3D CT scan and provide you with an estimate of the likely cost of sedation. Here you can make significant savings on both the cost of dental treatment and the cost of sedation
• Before the procedure, we ask you to fill out a special health questionnaire, which our anaesthetist will use to make a risk assessment. If your health is deemed satisfactory, the procedure will be considered positive. You may also need to have an ECG and blood tests before the procedure.
• Our anaesthetist will give you the sedative intravenously. When the sedative starts to work, our dentist will give you a local anaesthetic and then start the dental treatment.
• During the treatment, you will be able to communicate, answer questions and cooperate with your doctor, but you will also not have any unpleasant memories after the treatment.
• At the end of the dental treatment, the sedative is stopped and the effect soon wears off.
• After the treatment, you will rest for 1-2 hours in our special relaxation room, where you will be observed by your companion, and leave the dental practice after a check-up with your dental hygienist.

During the treatment under anaesthesia you will not feel anything. You will only remember that our anaesthetist will give you an intravenous anaesthetic, you will fall asleep and we will only wake you up at the end of the treatment.

During the anaesthetic, the anaesthetist and the anaesthetic nurse will monitor your condition and vital signs. Your blood pressure is measured with a sphygmomanometer, a blood oxygen meter is clamped to your fingertip and ECG electrodes are attached to your chest.

Anaesthesia is particularly recommended for major, stressful dental or oral surgery procedures, especially if both jaws are involved. 

For treatment under anaesthesia, you must be accompanied by a companion and both must stay overnight in a partner hotel selected by us.

 Please stop eating and drinking 6 hours before your treatment.

• During the treatment, your breathing is kept stable by a professional ventilator.

• You may feel dizzy or nauseous after waking up, this is normal.
• After the treatment, you will rest for 1-2 hours in our special relaxation room, where you will be observed by your companion, and leave the dental practice after a check-up with your dental hygienist.
