Sleep Dentistry
Easy and pain-free treatment, done while you sleep
Welcome to Sleep Dentistry at Dental on Errard!
Restful Sleep & Painless Dentistry
General anaesthetic is a safe, affordable, and effective method that ensures you are unconscious and relaxed during your treatment. This is done by inhaling a drug or agent through a mask placed over your nose, and results in a complete or partial loss of feeling and sensation for the duration of your treatment.
​
At Dental On Errard, we complete our treatment under general anaesthetic on-site, in our Studio building theatre.
General anaesthetic is available on-site at Dental on Errard, and is helpful to:
​
-
Adults and children aged 5-75 years
-
People who have dental anxiety or have had traumatic past experiences​
-
People who are unable to receive local anaesthetic or have physical disabilities
-
Children who struggle to cooperate for dental treatment
-
Patients undergoing long appointments
Sleep Dentistry at Dental on Errard is easy and affordable!
With our theatre and private recovery room located in our Studio building, all of your sleep dentistry needs are in one place!

Nitrous Oxide
Also known as "laughing gas", nitrous oxide can be an alternative to general anaesthetic.
​
Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask over the nose. It is not a painkiller, although can help a patient relax, feel less anxious, and can reduce the sensation of pain.
​
Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so you are still able to drive home. As long as you are not pregnant, currently on certain medications, or have a history of substance abuse, nitrous oxide may be an option for you.
