Nervous patients and Sedation in Bristol
Are you a nervous patient?
Our patients don't have to prove anything to us; in fact we completely understand how nervous people can become about dental treatment. For many people, talking through the treatment, understanding that you are in control and that we will work at your pace is often a great help.
But for some people dental treatment is a real phobia, you may not have visited a dentist for many years and may need significant treatment. Dr. Jim Toms, a leading dentist in the Bristol area has extensive clinical interests in treatment for nervous patients. He is qualified to provide intravenous sedation, which has replaced general anaesthesia in dental practice. Sedation reduces the apparent length of the treatment and makes you unaware of the details of the procedure.
There are no unpleasant after effects or nausea and you can usually go home within two hours of beginning treatment. Years of neglect can be corrected in just a few visits.
Sedation for Implant procedures
Sedation is also helpful for any patient planning to undergo a lengthy procedure and we would normally recommend sedation for implant procedures.
