At Knights Dental we are aware that visiting the dentist can be a nerve wracking experience for some, which is why we have specialist training to help manage anxiety. In some instances, particularly in the case of dental surgeries such as implants or tooth extraction, that might mean that conscious sedation is recommended to help anyone who is particularly nervous to cope with dental treatment.
There are different forms of conscious sedation. At Knights Dental we use an inhalation approach, which works by breathing in a gas to make you feel relaxed and sleepy before your treatment begins. As a result, you will remain awake, aware and able to respond during your procedure, but without any feeling of discomfort or the side effects of a general anaesthetic. Most people don't remember very much about their treatment once the sedation wears off.
You can discuss the option of conscious sedation with your Knights Dental dentist before any procedure. If it is decided that this is the right course of action then it's important that you arrange for someone to take you home afterwards and that you don't drive for at least 24 hours.
Led by Principal Dentist Dr Paul Jones, we are passionate about building relationships with our patients and consistently delivering the best care possible for every aspect of dental health, from managing anxiety to routine dental care, cosmetic work, and advanced surgery.
Having opened our first clinic in Merthyr Tydfil, Knights Dental has expanded since 2015 to include nine practices across Wales, each dedicated to supporting its local community with care, compassion and clinical excellence.
We believe everyone should have access to expert dental care, so we have created fee
structures and membership programmes designed to support individuals and their wants and needs. This includes NHS as well as private appointments
As a modern and progressive dental family based in Wales, we proudly oversee ten distinct practices united under our banner.
