Sedation Dentistry In Dubai
Say Goodbye to Dental Anxiety.
Many individuals experience dental phobia or dental anxiety, which is characterized by a fear or stress response triggered by needles and dental drills in a dental setting. This fear often leads people to endure toothaches and avoid necessary dental treatments.
At Micris Dental Clinic, we understand the challenges posed by dental anxiety. To address this issue, our experienced dentists and dental anaesthesiologists provide a comprehensive range of sedation dentistry services in Dubai. Sedation dentistry involves the use of medications to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Overcoming Dental Anxiety and Discomfort
- Experience Dental Anxiety : If you feel anxious or stressed at the thought of visiting the dentist, sedation dentistry can help you relax and feel more comfortable throughout the treatment process.
- Have a Sensitive Gag Reflex : Some individuals have a sensitive gag reflex that can make dental procedures challenging. Sedation dentistry can help minimize gag reflex sensitivity, allowing for a smoother and more comfortable experience.
- Require Complex or Lengthy Procedures : For extensive dental treatments or multiple procedures, sedation dentistry ensures your comfort and relaxation throughout the process. It helps to alleviate any discomfort or restlessness, allowing the dentist to work efficiently.
- Have Low Pain Threshold : If you have a low pain threshold or are particularly sensitive to dental sensations, sedation dentistry can help manage pain and ensure a more pleasant dental experience.
- Struggle with Sitting Still : If you find it difficult to remain still for long periods, sedation dentistry can help you stay relaxed and calm during the treatment, ensuring the dentist can perform the necessary procedures effectively.
Types of
Sedation Dentistry
Inhaled Minimal Sedation
This option involves inhaling nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas," to induce a relaxed state. It is controlled by our dentists or anesthesiologists, ensuring a safe and effective sedation experience.
IV Moderate Sedation
Administered through a vein, IV sedation provides fast-acting sedation effects. Our dentists or anesthesiologists closely monitor and control the sedation level.
Oral Sedation
For anxious patients, oral sedation in the form of a pill is provided. The prescribed sedatives induce relaxation, making you feel drowsy and calm during the procedure.
General Anesthesia
With general anesthesia, you will be completely unconscious during the dental treatment. This option is typically used for complex procedures and requires a recovery period.

FAQs
Most frequently asked questions
What is the cost of sedation dentistry in Dubai?
Since there are different types of sedation dentistry, the price depends upon the recommended type of sedation, the patient’s health, and the type of dental procedure prescribed to the patient.
Can any dentist perform sedation?
This depends on the type of sedation to be inserted into the patients. Any dentist can administer minimal sedation such as nitrous oxide or oral sedatives. However, only a specific number of dentists that are trained and licensed, can be qualified for administering deep sedation or general anaesthesia to the patient.
Would I feel pain with sedation dentistry?
No. sedation dentistry is designed to relieve the patient of pain and worry. Hence, you should not feel any pain during dental procedures once you are sedated. However, when the sedation wears off, you might feel discomfort in the area of the treatment.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery times may vary based on the sedation technique used on you, and how your body responds to this medication. Generally, the recovery time for people with nitrous oxide sedatives are between 15 to 30 minutes. People who have been administered either oral or IV sedation would require 24 hours to achieve full recovery.
