Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Sedation dentistry lets you have the dental treatment you need while you are relaxed. Putting treatment off because you feel anxious is common. At our Primrose Hill practice, Dr Ope Sodeinde and the team plan your care around the clinical outcome and your comfort. A consultation tells us whether sedation is suitable for you.
When fear is the main reason treatment keeps being postponed, sedation removes that barrier so the work can go ahead. We are a CQC-registered dental practice led by Dr Sodeinde, and every case starts with specialist-led planning. You can read what happens at your sedation consultation and how to book.
Your first visit is straightforward. The £195 consultation fee includes a clinical examination and the in-mouth x-rays needed for a first diagnosis. Every fee is itemised before you commit, so the number you see on the page is the number the appointment costs.
Cost is often the first worry for anyone who has avoided the dentist. We start with a diagnosis, so you pay only for the care you need. The £195 dental consultation fee goes towards your treatment. We offer payment options, which our staff will explain at the practice. View our full sedation dentistry costs.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
We offer IV sedation and oral sedation in the practice, nitrous oxide sedation for children, and general anaesthesia through a hospital pathway for patients who cannot be treated under conscious sedation. Sedation is administered by appropriately trained clinicians.
Every case begins with a full medical history and a sedation assessment. We monitor you throughout the appointment and you stay in the practice until the effects have worn off. You can view the credentials of Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), who leads the practice.
Before you leave we give you written aftercare instructions. A responsible adult must take you home, and you must not drive or operate machinery for at least 24 hours after sedation.
We give you a sedative in a controlled dose so you feel calm during treatment. With conscious sedation you stay awake and can respond to us, but the appointment feels manageable.
The fee depends on the type of sedation and the dental work involved. You get a clear breakdown at your first visit to the practice in Primrose Hill.
Sedation suits patients with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or a long procedure ahead of them. We check your medical history at the consultation before confirming the approach.
It depends on the treatment. The sedative takes effect quickly, and the total time includes the procedure and a recovery period before you leave with your responsible adult.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to reduce anxiety and keep you relaxed while we treat you. It also lets us complete several treatments, or one long one, in a single visit. The options are nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for children, oral sedation, IV sedation, and referral for general anaesthesia in hospital when conscious sedation is not enough.
We confirm which option suits you, and how long the appointment will take, at an examination. Book your assessment.
You can compare the methods and decide which sedation option fits your own situation.
For significant anxiety or longer clinical work we provide IV sedation.
Oral sedation is a tablet taken before the appointment. For children we provide nitrous oxide sedation, often called laughing gas.
Removing impacted teeth is a common source of worry, so we offer sedation for wisdom teeth removal.
We discuss your medical history and how anxious you feel, and confirm whether dental sedation is suitable.
We match the timing and type of sedation to the treatment you need.
A trained clinician administers the sedation and we monitor you throughout.
You stay in the practice until the effects wear off, and leave with aftercare instructions.

The methods range from nitrous oxide, the mildest, to IV sedation, the deepest we provide in the practice. Whether you need oral sedation or intravenous sedation depends on your anxiety level and the length of the treatment.
The recovery steps for each method are in our sedation aftercare guide.
