Sedation facts

  • It really works! You really can relax through your dental appointment
  • When sedated you will be conscious, but unaware of what is going on around you
  • You will have little or no memory of the experience

When receiving sedation you will be fully informed beforehand of any potential side effects and given advice to help with your recovery. You may be advised to bring someone along with you to the appointment who is able to take you home afterwards, and it's advisable to rest for the remainder of the day. You should be back to normal within 24 hours.

We offer the following types of sedation at Temple Square Dental:

IV sedation

IV sedation is a very effective and safe way of treating those with moderate to severe anxiety and even phobia. This technique is started by the anaesthetist and involves the use of a small cannula (needle) placed in the back of the hand or the arm through which a sedative is administered prior to treatment.

As a patient you are conscious for the entire procedure, but don’t let this put you off. You will experience an extremely relaxed state, to the point of drowsiness. Many patients are more than happy to take a nap during treatment. IV sedation is not intended to put you to sleep or make you unconscious like a general anaesthetic, you just feel so relaxed and oblivious to your surroundings that you are happy to doze off. Because of this time passes in what appears to be minutes, even when undertaking many hours of treatment.

With refined care and expertise we’ve been helping patients throughout Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire manage their fear of the dentist for many years - we can do it for you too. Take the first step today…why not give us a call on 01296 434848 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.

Based on my experience with other dental practices here in the UK, I can confidently say that this is the best dental practice I have visited. The quality of care and service is excellent, the staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the practice is exceptionally clean and well maintained. This is why I felt it genuinely deserved such high ratings.

Dr Aaron treated my daughter 11 y.o with calm, professional respect. He understood her anxiety and took time to reassure her. The extraction went very smoothly and it was very quick. Recovery had no issues. Dr Aaron is amazing very caring dentist!

I enjoy my six monthly check ups at Temple Square Dental. The staff are all friendly and reassuring and the dental work I have needed over the last 23 years has been carried out professionally and painlessly. Because of the biennial care I receive, my teeth and gums remain healthy in spite of 80 years of wear and tear! Many thanks to Aaron and Natalie and Lucie.

I am an extremely nervous patient and have neglected my dental health due to this. The team have been wonderful and kind in their treatment of me, have treated me with dignity and without judgement and made facing my phobia as easy for me as it could be

I was given an emergency appointment as I was in pain. A receptionist called Amber proved extremely helpful following my assessment she arranged a second emergency appointment to allow me to complete my treatment rather than wait several days in continuing pain. She demonstrated initiative , concern and excellent communication skills. My clinical care was excellent as usual but Amber facilitated my treatment to avoid delay . A really good experience .

The hygienist Joy, and her assistant delivered a very comfortable, thorough and highly professional experience. This was my first encounter with this clinician and she was very communicative throughout. I would highly recommend her services.

Very professional team. They explained what was would happen at each stage. Made me feel relaxed and the whole procedure completed without any discomfort. On completion they went through the post procedure process so I knew exactly what to expect/do.

I cannot recommend Becky Pilgrim enough! I have just completed my invaslign treatment and she has been absolutely brilliant. She is a true professional and a perfectionist- which is just what you need for a smile makeover! I have been amazed by the results and this has been a well worthwhile investment. Becky is a very knowledgeable practitioner and I will be wholeheartedly recommending her to others. In addition, Thank you to all the staff at Temple Square Dental who have always been welcoming and have gone above and beyond with any of my queries. Thank you all once again!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!!!

My son who is on the autism spectrum was with this dentist practice and the dentist he saw was perfection she listened, took her time and made every effort to make sure my son was comfortable and understood everything she was doing at every stage and spoke to him directly instead of through myself which I respect massively as they shouldn’t be treated differently, we unfortunately moved dentist through location being too far out for us otherwise I would of stayed with them 1000000%

All staff are extremely friendly, and thorough with what they do. My 5 year old has seen Dr Morgan and now Dr Lakin for her regular check ups and have been fantastic! They both have had such a calm approach and have been so gentle. Checks are thorough and I love that they have both communicated with me during the check ups so I understand what’s happening. Advice is sound and clear, and it’s an overall pleasant experience.

I always feel welcome and listened to when I'm at Temple Square, especially when I see Aaron. I've also didn't have to wait too long past my appointment time!
