What is sleep dentistry?

Sleep dentistry allows suitable patients to have dental treatment performed under anaesthetic administered by a qualified medical anaesthetist here at Portside Dental.

The anaesthetist administers and monitors your anaesthetic throughout the procedure while our dental team completes your treatment. Once treatment is finished, you are carefully monitored as you wake and recover.

A wide range of dental procedures can be completed this way, including fillings, extractions, implant placement, crowns, bridges and teeth cleaning. 

Sleep dentistry isn't suitable for everyone. Before proceeding, you will be asked to complete a detailed medical history, which is reviewed to determine whether treatment in our practice is appropriate and safe for you.
