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.

I survived, always happy when that happens.The team were great, no complaints. Gums are healing up nicely and I'll be back soon to see the hygienist. The skylight was a nice touch, it offered a place of calm I could zone out to.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre . Derek is an amazing dentist who’s kind, patient & is in my opinion second to none. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! His nurse Megan is warm, kind and makes me feel so comfortable as soon as I walk into the surgery. The reception team are so efficient, easy to talk to and professional.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre for anyone looking at dental services in the Guildford or the wider Surrey/surrounding areas. Dr. Derek Whittle and Megan were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and efficient during my recent visit. I received a thorough cleaning, a filling, and measurements alongside clear instructions for teeth whitening, all of which were done with great care and professionalism, as well as useful tips for maintaining good dental health through best practice habits and lifestyle choices. The procedures were a complete success, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend this practice for their exceptional service and approach.

I am happy with Guildford Dental Centre because I have confidence in Dr Whittle, my dentist,who I trust to only recommend treatments which are genuinely necessary.He has done major root canal work on me and a few awkward fillings, and always works swiftly and gently,keeping me informed about progress as he goes along,and most importantly, he manages to do unpleasant dental procedures without me having any pain!
