Dental sedation

Sedation is a great option for nervous patients and anyone who feels anxious about receiving treatment. With safe and proven techniques, we administer sedation medication to place you in a relaxed and dream-like state, making it feel as though your appointment passes in no time.

The experienced team at Guildford Dental Centre have helped several patients overcome lifelong fears and dental phobias to finally get the treatment they need.

Sedation facts

  • It really works! You really can relax through your dental appointment
  • When sedated you will be conscious, but unaware of what is going on around you
  • You will have little or no memory of the experience

When receiving sedation you will be fully informed beforehand of any potential side effects and given advice to help with your recovery. We advised to bring someone along with you to the appointment who is able to take you home afterwards, and it's advisable to rest for the remainder of the day. You should be back to normal within 24 hours.

We offer the IV sedation at Guildford Dental Centre.

Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly dentist

26th March 2026

i had a check up booked but managed to break a tooth prior to attended which was dealt with as well.

24th March 2026

I have not had a tooth extracted since childhood, so was frankly terrified at the prospect, even allowing for having arranged sedation. The sedation specialist was brilliant, calming and supportive, and the dentist was also very calm. The sedation worked very well, and after the treatment I was given very clear info about how to deal with any bleeding, pain, brushing near the affected area etc. As a result, I felt all had gone very well and felt confident about not having a review meeting for over a week (because the dentist was on planned leave). Having changed dentist following Jonathan's reduced days, I am now have complete confidence in Aradhana and Kavi, and it is such a relief to me. The support nurses also are very good. Many, many thanks to my new dentists!

Excellent dentist and hygienist. I receive the best dental care from this practice and have done for some years.

16th March 2026

The Hygienist with her Nurse worked hard on the cleaning which they carried in a respectful manner, allowing breaks when I requested.Rachel Akinsanya is informative and clearly explains everything. In addition as I was only thinking this morning, she does not add too many extra steps in one go, to my cleaning regime. It is a case of taking little steps to get there, ie this time she suggested an extra blue interdental brush for cleaning.

Prompt and friendly service. Things explained clearly

12th March 2026

My family and I have been coming to Guildford dental for over 20years. I saw Terry and now Derek. Jackie on reception is always very welcoming and takes time to chat when you arrive. Derek is always so professional, kind and always takes the time to discuss options. My children have just been for their check up and my daughter came out and said I really like Derek and trust him with my teeth!

Very informative, not pushing unnecessary treatments . Treatment quick, painless and effective.

I visited Guildford Dental Centre because of painful wisdom tooth issues and Dr Jonathan Tan was amazing. He was so friendly, calm and reassuring throughout the appointment and explained everything clearly which really helped. The whole team were lovely and the clinic was very welcoming. I would definitely recommend coming here.
