If you’re nervous about a trip to the dentist, dental sedation can help calm your fears and ensure you receive the treatment you need safely and comfortably.
Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and it’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed about.
At Brightside Dental, the thing that matters the most to us is you getting the treatment you need, and we’ll do whatever it takes to help you stay calm and relaxed during the process.

“I’m very nervous usually about coming to the dentist. Sedation has been wonderful for me, I can honestly say that from the minute I walked into the practice until afterwards, absolutely no fear at all, no pain. I didn’t even know anything was being done, so for me absolutely fantastic.”
Sedation is given intravenously, bringing you comfort and helping you to relax during your dental treatment.
At Brightside Dental, our Dental Sedation differs from a general anaesthetic. You are not technically asleep, but you will experience comfort and relaxation to the extent where you might actually fall asleep. Most patients remember little about the treatment once it is finished. Whether you are visiting our Dentist Palmers Green practice or seeing our friendly Children’s Dentist, sedation ensures a calm and stress-free experience for all patients.
In order to sedate you, there’s one small needle to the back of your hand or arm, and that’s it – no more pain, allowing you to lie back, relax and get the work you need done.
The process is extremely safe, and during the entire appointment you will be closely monitored by our highly experienced team members.
Following your treatment, you may feel drowsy and/or lightheaded for a few hours – for most people, effects will have worn off within 24 hours.
If you are being sedated for your treatment, it’s important you have someone to take you home after your visit, and for the rest of the day, you won’t be able to drink alcohol, drive or work machinery.
Dental sedation is ideal for you if you:
If any of the above apply to you, then you’re definitely a candidate for sedation – call us on 020 8888 4401 and we can talk you through the process and answer any questions you’ve got.

“It’s been very,very welcoming simply because I didn’t realise I was in the dentist seat. Without the sedation, I wouldn’t have been able to sit quietly in the chair at all. I get put to sleep and then I wake up and the treatment is done and I am so happier that I didn’t take part in it.”

“I was extremely nervous to go to the dentist. I knew that i had issues that required treatment as soon as possible but my fear of dentists has made me postpone it many times.I came across Brightside Dental when googling for “nervous patient dentists” and the great reviews made me decide to book an appointment. It was one of the best decisions ever as Dr Ketan and his team are amazing! At the first appointment they made me feel so comfortable and relaxed although i was doing one of the scariest things of my life. The treatment was explained in details and i was assured it was going to be pain free. I honestly didn’t believe it at first but now i can say that it is 100% true! If you are extremely nervous (like myself) then definitely go for the sedation option as you will peacefully fall asleep and remember nothing.
I truly recommend this clinic for all of you there that are still in doubt whether to visit a dentist or not, you will not regret it!
Thanks Team!! :)”

“I hadn’t visited the surgery for a number of years. Because of that I was very nervous as I’d likely need a number of fillings etc. And I hate the thought of the injections and sensation of drilling…so the fact that Brightside have the option of sedation was perfect for me. It was pricey but worth it. Ketan was great. He explained everything that needed doing, clearly. We discussed costs and timings and agreed a plan together. I had time to consider and plan. The actual sessions went really smoothly. Appointments were easy to make at a time that suited. The sedation worked brilliantly. I now won’t be so nervous to go back. Pleasant surprise!”

“Unable to avoid a visit to the dentist, having broken a tooth, I searched for a practise offering pain-free treatment especially for highly nervous patients.
I have an absolute horror of anything ‘dentist’ so it was with great trepidation that I crossed the threshold of Brightside Dental. From the outset Dr. Ketan Shah was understanding, sympathic and resassuring carefully explaining the methods of sedation and pain control both before the visit and prior to treatment and how this is tailored to the needs of each individual patient.
Following my initial full check, treatment plan and throughout the treatment itself I found Dr Ketan Shah to be a dentist in whom I can place my trust to listen to any fears or concerns I may have and one who has helped me in overcoming my dental phobia. I would highly recommend Brightside to anyone suffering from fear of the dentist’s chair!”

“I’ve been avoiding visiting the dentist for almost 10 years due to fear. Ketan and his team are amazing at making you feel calm and comfortable during every visit and last Friday I had almost 3 hours of dental work done under sedation. This was a huge step for me and would not have been possible without their incredible levels of patient care. Ketan took the time to speak to me before the procedure and the practice called daily following the procedure to make sure I was healing OK and had no complications.The work performed was top call as well. I cannot recommend Brightside Dental highly enough. If you have been putting off visiting the dentist like I was I highly recommend you give Brightside Dental a call.”

“I had extensive treatment today. To be honest I hate dentist and to my regret haven’t been to the dentist in a good many years. From the moment I arrived until i left I was treated with total professionalism and understanding. For a good many reasons I had sedation, which worked a treat. For people like me who have the same aversion to dentist I would seriously consider using Brightside Dental.”

“I have not been to the Dentist in almost 20 years due to my phobia and bad gagging reactions. I decided to go under sedation due to removal of my decaying chiped tooth. Upon arrival i was greeted by each staff member with a warm smile and assurance that i have nothing to worry about. My consultant on the day was also amazing in making me feel relaxed and comfortable. sedation is the best way to have your tooth removed if your like me with a big fear factor of going to the dentist
It was over in seconds.
I simply prasie all the professional staff members and thank them all.”
