At Edgbaston Smile Clinic, we understand that the thought of undergoing a complex tooth extraction can be daunting, especially for patients who experience dental anxiety. That’s why we offer twilight anaesthesia—a safe, effective, and calming solution designed to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Twilight anaesthesia, also known as conscious sedation, is a technique that helps patients relax during dental procedures while still being awake and responsive. Unlike general anaesthesia, which puts you completely to sleep, twilight anaesthesia induces a state of deep relaxation and calm. You may feel drowsy and less aware of the procedure, but you’ll remain conscious and able to communicate with your dentist.
Complex tooth extractions, such as the removal of impacted wisdom teeth or severely damaged teeth, can be more challenging and time-consuming than routine extractions. For patients who are nervous about the procedure, twilight anaesthesia provides the perfect balance between comfort and awareness, helping to ease anxiety and ensure a smoother experience.
When you arrive at Edgbaston Smile Clinic for your complex tooth extraction, our experienced dental team will take the time to explain the process and answer any questions you may have. If twilight anaesthesia is recommended, our team will carefully administer the sedative, typically through an IV or oral medication, and monitor you closely throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.
You’ll feel deeply relaxed and may even drift in and out of sleep, but you’ll remain responsive and able to follow simple instructions. The sedation level can be adjusted as needed, providing a tailored experience that meets your individual needs.
Following the extraction, you may feel groggy or disoriented for a short period, but these effects wear off quickly. Patients can go home the same day, though it’s important to have someone accompany you, as you won’t be able to drive immediately after the procedure. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover smoothly and comfortably.
At Edgbaston Smile Clinic, we prioritise patient comfort and care above all else. Our team is highly trained in the use of twilight anaesthesia and is committed to making your dental experience as pleasant and pain-free as possible. Whether you’re facing a complex tooth extraction or another dental procedure, you can trust us to provide the gentle, compassionate care you deserve.
