FAQ – Dentists/Practices
We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, but we do our best to accommodate urgent requests. Regular clients often secure recurring days each month.
We typically need around 3–4 hours of operating time to make a session feasible. This equates to about $3000–$4000 worth of procedures—for example, four sets of wisdom teeth extractions or one full All-on-X surgery.
We specialize in intravenous (IV) conscious sedation for dental procedures. This allows patients to remain responsive but deeply relaxed.We regularly provide sedation for:
- All-on-X surgery
- Wisdom teeth extractions
- Implants and other surgical procedures
- Anxious patients even for routine dental work
We service dental clinics across:
- All of Brisbane and the Gold Coast
- Melbourne CBD and South East suburbs

We are trained in advanced life support and carry full emergency kits. If a complication arises, we manage it immediately and coordinate with emergency services if needed. Fortunately, serious events are extremely rare.
Most healthy patients (ASA I–II) are suitable for IV sedation. We screen all patients through a medical questionnaire to assess risks. Higher-risk or complex medical cases may be referred for hospital-based care.
