Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Sedation for wisdom teeth removal lets you have an impacted or troublesome wisdom tooth taken out while you are relaxed rather than braced against it. We review your medical history at a consultation to choose the right method.
How long the procedure takes depends on the position of the tooth. We discuss the expected duration and your suitability for sedation at your first visit with Dr Ope Sodeinde.
Wisdom tooth removal is one of the procedures people put off longest, and a tooth left until it is infected is harder to remove. If dread is what is holding you back, sedation dentistry in London is the way round it. We plan every extraction from x-rays before the day, and confirm the sedation method at a consultation.
We diagnose before we quote, so you pay only for the care your case needs, and every fee is itemised before anything begins.
For moderate anxiety we provide oral sedation. If the wisdom tooth is part of wider treatment, we also offer sedation for root canal. Dr Sodeinde oversees the clinical standards of the practice.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
We provide intravenous sedation for patients who feel overwhelmed by the thought of an extraction or fear losing control during it. You remain conscious but deeply relaxed while we work. For patients who cannot be treated under conscious sedation, we discuss general anaesthesia through a hospital pathway. Patients with the same worries about gum treatment can read about sedation for gum surgery.
A responsible adult must escort you home and stay with you during recovery. We review your medical history at the consultation to confirm the safest approach for you.
We confirm that conscious sedation is right for you. It suits patients with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or a longer procedure ahead of them, and we check your medical history before agreeing the dose.
We plan the sequence of the removal from your x-rays so that your time in the chair at our Primrose Hill practice is as short as the case allows.
The clinician administers the sedation and, once you are relaxed, the local anaesthetic. We then remove the tooth while monitoring you throughout. If you need more extensive work, we also provide sedation for full-mouth treatment.
You stay in the practice until the sedation has worn off, and leave with written instructions on caring for the socket. Recovery time depends on how difficult the extraction was.
We book a review to check the site is healing. If you have children who are anxious about the dentist, we offer nitrous oxide sedation for children.
Every case begins with a complete consultation, a medical history review and a pre-assessment. The practice is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071). Sedation is administered by appropriately trained clinicians, and we monitor you throughout the procedure and during recovery.
You must arrange for someone to accompany you home, and you must not drive or operate machinery for at least 24 hours after sedation.
Fees depend on the difficulty of your wisdom teeth removal and the sedation used. We confirm the cost at your consultation and give you an itemised quote.
It depends on the position of the tooth and the type of sedation. We give you a timeframe once the extraction is planned.
Local anaesthetic numbs the area and the sedation keeps you calm. Where one method is not enough, we use combination sedation so you stay deeply relaxed while still able to respond.
The sedation wears off after the appointment. It has no bearing on how the socket heals, which Dr Sodeinde checks at your review.
We settle the level of sedation for your extraction at a clinical review of your medical history and anxiety level. Read what happens at your sedation consultation and how to book.
