I am very pleased with the care of the dentist and staff. My teeth look amazing and fit really well. I would tell everyone to go with them.

At HQ Our Aim Is For You To Leave With A Smile On Your Face – And We Will Do Whatever We Can To Help.
Dental sedation is a great way to help nervous patients relax while undergoing dental treatment.
It allows you to separate yourself from the vibration and noise of the drill or other dental equipment.
The procedure will leave you with little or no memory of that part of the treatment.
Intravenous sedation uses a safe and effective drug called midazolam, which puts patients in a warm, relaxed state which allows treatment to be carried out. A fully-qualified dentist will assess you to see if you are suitable for the procedure and will measure your blood pressure, oxygen levels and pulse etc using painless monitoring devices. During the procedure we will continually monitor your blood pressure, oxygen levels, heart readings and pulse, using monitoring equipment seen in hospitals. To make the start of the IV sedation procedure as comfortable as possible, many nervous patients are also given an anaesthetic cream, which is rubbed on the skin where the needle is to be placed.
Oral sedatives are usually taken in the hours leading up to your dental procedure and reduce activity in the parts of the brain that control anxiety and fear. There are no needles or masks needed and the sedative, typically in the form of a tablet or liquid, produces a calm, relaxed mood, eases dental anxiety and allows our highly qualified team to do what they need to.
In most cases, a local anaesthetic will still be administered to ensure that you don’t experience any pain during your procedure.
This will be given after you are sedated, so you won’t be aware of it.
Unlike a general anaesthetic in a hospital setting, you will still be conscious when you’re sedated at the dentist.
The level of sedation that’s achieved depends on which type of sedation is used.
But whichever method of sedation dentistry you choose, you will feel relaxed, calm and not disturbed by what the dental team are doing.
Sedation can take several hours to wear off completely, and you must arrange to have someone drive you home from your appointment.
It’s often because of a bad experience in the past, but sometimes it’s much more than that.
Most of us experience mild uneasiness about visiting the dentist, but for some people, just the thought of a dental procedure or appointment can cause acute anxiety and even panic attacks.
Dental phobia is a surprisingly common, medically recognised, condition that can sometimes result in serious dental problems.
We are friendly, caring and understanding and many patients comment that coming to HQ isn’t like going to a ‘normal’ dentist.
We will always do whatever we can to put you at ease, and different sedation methods are available for suitable patients.
Please remember, if you’re a nervous patient, it’s not wise to simply stop going to the dentist as your oral health will suffer.
