General anaesthesia means you are completely asleep for your entire dental treatment — no
awareness, no
discomfort, no memory of the procedure.
Sleep dentistry uses general anaesthesia to put you into a deep, comfortable sleep for the full duration of your dental treatment. You won't feel, see, hear or remember anything — you simply wake up with the work done.
Unlike light sedation or happy gas, general anaesthesia means you are fully unconscious. This is ideal for patients with significant anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those needing extensive work done in one visit.
The procedure is carried out at our purpose-built facility at Bayswater, in partnership with Sleep Dentistry Services — no hospital admission, no long waitlists, and significantly lower costs than hospital day surgery.

Sleep dentistry suits a wide range of patients. If any of the following apply to you, it may be
the perfect solution.
If dental fear has stopped you getting treatment, general anaesthesia means you are completely unaware – eliminating all stress and discomfort.
A strong gag reflex can make even basic work very difficult. Under general anaesthesia the gag reflex is fully inactive, allowing your dentist to work freely.
For children unable to cooperate while awake, or patients with special healthcare needs, sleep dentistry ensures essential care is delivered safely and without distress.
Need several procedures at once? Sleep dentistry lets your dentist complete fillings, extractions, crowns and implants in a single visit.
Our on-site CBCT imaging is ideal for implant planning and All-on-4 procedures. Complex cases completed efficiently under anaesthesia.
You don’t need severe anxiety to choose sleep dentistry. Many patients simply prefer to sleep through their dental care – you wake up and it’s all done.
