Sedation Dentistry
in Tamworth
What Is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation can help patients overcome their fear and anxieties that they experience during dental treatment. At our practice we have been trained to offer an IV (intravenous) sedation that we will gently administer into our patients arm. This type of sedation won’t fully knock out the patient (as dental practices are not allowed to do so), but it will make the whole experience turn into a blur and the patient will be unable to recall the treatment, making it a very relaxed and calm experience.
After being scared of dentist for many years I booked appointment with ascent dental as I read they do iv sedation for nervous patients, yesterday I completed my course of treatment and everyone from the dentist and sedationist to the girls on reception were absolutely wonderful, all so kind and caring and made sure I was ok throughout. Brilliant dental practice would definitely recommend them to everyone.

Nice and Calm and Relaxed
Here’s one of our resident dentists, Shiv, to answer FAQs about gentle, relaxing sedation for nervous or anxious patients.
What Happens To Me Once I Have Been Sedated?
We will carefully and gently administer the IV sedation so you feel relaxed and unaware of what is going on. We will then begin to start the treatment once you have entered this unaware state. We will monitor your breathing and pulse throughout the treatment to ensure that you are always safe and comfortable. During the treatment you will be able to respond to any of our questions but you won’t have any memory of the treatment after – it will be a hazy blur (which you will need a chaperon to take you home safely).
I would like to thank Ascent dental care team for helping me through my treatment. Very professional and friendly team 🙂
I am really really scared of dentist and they gave me choice of sedation which I went for. No stress no pain. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dental Sedation Frequently Asked Questions
Is it general anesthetic?
No. General anesthetic are used at hospitals to put patients fully under. Dental practices are not allowed to offer general anesthetic. Contact us to find out more about our dental sedation. We use a sedative that means you are awake but you won’t be aware of what is going on around you.
Will it hurt?
No. During the treatment you will be awake, but you won’t be aware or conscious of what is happening, any of the sounds or feeling will be a complete blur and you will not be able to remember the treatment.
Can I go to work the same day or after?
After you have had treatment under IV sedation we always recommend that your chaperon takes you home, and you are not left alone (you will be unable to have sedation without someone to take you home). The effects of the sedation will have worn off and you will be able to work the next day.
Do you still use local anaesthetic?
The IV sedative will be administered to the patients arm and a numbing local anesthetic is used to numb the gums.
What treatments can be carried out under sedation?
We have experienced patients who are extremely nervous about all aspects of dentistry and the thought of sitting in the dental chair is too much for them. Because of this, we are able to offer sedation for the majority of treatments (including):
- General dentistry (e.g. fillings, scale & polish etc)
- Dental Implants
- Oral Surgery
- Cosmetic dental treatment (e.g. Veneers & Crowns)

Totally Comfortable
You wouldn’t know from speaking to her that Jean is a nervous patient. Her smile proves that anyone can get the care they deserve from Ascent Dental.
Nothing to it!
The phrase root canal is enough to send some patients running for the hills. Hilary explains how gentle sedation makes the process comfortable and painless.

Amazing people, make my son feel very comfortable when going to the dentist. Would highly recommend👍🏻
Amazing! I have a dental bridge done in a different country, and I recently had an appointment with Ascent regarding some big concerns. The staff there are just brilliant and definitely know what they’re doing. Profesionalism and knowledge is what defines the staff at Tamworth!
I broke my tooth at 16.20 on the 15-04-21 & after a phonecall to Ascent I was in the chair by 17.05 having an emergency temporary filling by Laura.
The whole team are just pure perfection, absolutely faultless
Thank you so much laura & the team for sorting me out so quickly, youre amazing & a credit to your profession
An amazing journey from start to finish with Cassy. Im a nervous patient and I couldn’t have been made to feel any more comfortable. Cassy is down to earth, she put me at ease and has boosted my confidence by miles. Thank you to Nat too! ☺️
The best experience at my hygiene appointment today with justine and dev- would highly recommend!
All the ladies at Ascent Dentist are so welcoming and lovely. My dentist Laura has done an amazing job whitening my teeth and providing me with composite bonding to fill in the gaps. I’m overwhelmed how lovely it looks. She really is a 5 star dentist.
I contacted Ascent Dental Care after my general dentist advised me that I needed root canal treatment, which they would be unable to carry out. I was looked after by Jesal, who put root canal fillings into 3 of my teeth, which was not a straightforward procedure, as they were crowned front teeth, and 2 of the crowns were some 25 years old. I can only say that he did an excellent job. He explained everything very thoroughly to me beforehand, and I was truly amazed at how little discomfort I felt when the work carried out. He is a really nice guy, who puts you totally at ease, and the nurses, reception and admin staff are all very friendly, polite and efficient.
I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent dental practice.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Help you to feel comfortable and always do a great job! I’m having some cosmetic work done with them shortly very excited about this. I know my teeth will look fantastic! 😊 I will put on another review once they are finished so you can all see their amazing work.
We attended Ascent Dental for an emergency appointment for my two year old daughter. This was her first experience of visiting a dentist and everyone involved made it a calm, welcoming and non-traumatic experience. With thanks from two very relieved parents.
I had the home whitening kit & composite bonding treatment, I am so pleased with my new teeth, they look amazing! The dentists Laura & Natalie were so lovely & welcoming, definitely recommend this dentist 🤩
My biggest fear – the dentist chair. After 4 attempts to have a filling i finally found a dentist who could actually make me feel relaxed enough to go through with it. Jas (the dentist) really was patient and amazing! Would never go anywhere else. Really do give 10/10 for all staff!
I recently had an urgent dental issue and turned to Ascent Dental Practice for the first time. I was impressed by their swift response in accommodating me. From the welcoming reception team to the skilled dentists, I was truly impressed by the outstanding service. After completing my pre-paid treatment with my current NHS dentist, I am seriously considering switching to Ascent without hesitation. A definite 10/10 in my book!
