Can I go to sleep for my wisdom teeth extraction?

Wisdom teeth extraction can be relatively simple. A lot of wisdom teeth can be removed while you are awake. Other forms of sedation are available to relieve anxiety about the procedure. At Dental at Joondalup we offer oral sedation dentistry, intravenous (IV) sleep dentistry, and general anaesthetic services.

Oral sedation dentistry involves taking a few tablets one hour prior to your dental treatment. This allows you to be much more relaxed when you are completing the wisdom tooth extraction. Intravenous sleep dentistry is performed by our sedationist at the comfort of our own clinic – this allows you to fall asleep and not remember the procedure. General anaesthetic services are available in a hospital setting away from the clinic.
