Why You Should Consider Sleep Dentistry

Ballarat Family Dental with a general purpose built GA facility has been providing sleep dentistry since the start of 2023. Reasons why having your dentistry needs done under GA:

1. Safety First
   Sleep dentistry offers a safe and effective treatment option in our state-of-the-art facility. Although all treatments carry some risks, they are rare and will be thoroughly explained during your consultation before any treatment is undertaken.

2. Specialist Anaesthetist Care
   Our commitment to safety means that our general anaesthetic is administered by a specialist anaesthetist, not a dentist. In our clinic, an anaesthetic nurse supports the anaesthetist, ensuring a safer procedure and monitoring patients during the post-operative recovery period.

3. Comprehensive Single-Visit Treatment
   Sleep dentistry at Ballarat Family Dental allows for complex and comprehensive dental treatments in a single visit. From wisdom teeth removal to implant treatments, crowns, bridges, veneers, smile enhancement, and children's dentistry, we offer a wide range of procedures with the convenience of a single visit.

4. Experienced Dentists
   An initial consultation will determine the required treatment, including any necessary x-rays, or special tests. Height and weight measurement will be recorded. We provide a detailed discussion of proposed treatment, alternatives, and a transparent, fixed quote to avoid any hidden costs.

5. Ideal for Anxiety and Uncooperative Patients
   Sleep dentistry is suitable for most people, especially those who are anxious, intolerant of dental treatment due to issues like gagging, or unable to lie back for dental procedures. It is also commonly used for uncooperative children and patients with diverse abilities.
