Our process
Step-by-step approach to your treatment
We begin with a calm conversation about your goals, medical history, and any past dental experiences that still worry you.
Technology & Approach
We use modern monitoring equipment, precise local anaesthetic techniques, and sedation protocols that are tailored to your health history and treatment plan. For surgical or more complex cases, advanced imaging and careful pre-planning help us minimise surprises and keep you safe and comfortable.
Consultation & Planning
Together, we choose a level of sedation that matches your needs and review written pre-visit instructions.
Day of Treatment
We confirm you are feeling well, start sedation slowly, and monitor you throughout the procedure.
After Treatment
We review what was completed, go over recovery instructions, and arrange any follow-up visits you need.
Investment & Coverage
What to expect for cost
Before scheduling sedation, we walk you through fees, what may or may not be covered by your insurance, and any payment options that could help. When possible, we plan visits in a way that lets you accomplish more in a single appointment so you can make the most of your time and budget.
We'll provide a personalized cost estimate during your consultation. You'll receive a written treatment plan before we begin any work.
