Dentistry
at Bayswater
Completely Asleep.
Right Here at Our Clinic.
Sleep dentistry uses general anaesthesia to put you into a deep, comfortable sleep for your entire treatment — and at Bayswater Dentist, it all happens under the same roof.
Sleep dentistry uses general anaesthesia to put you into a deep, comfortable sleep. You won't feel, see, hear or remember a thing — you wake up with all the work done.
This makes sleep dentistry at Bayswater uniquely convenient and cost-effective. No hospital waitlists, no unfamiliar environments, no additional travel — just your own dentist, in your own clinic, while you sleep.

WHAT THE PROCEDURE INVOLVES
General anaesthesia or deep sedation
You are completely asleep and unaware throughout your entire dental procedure.
Full medical review beforehand
Records assessed; GP and specialists consulted if required before the procedure.
On-site CBCT imaging
Available in our clinic for implant and All-on-4 planning — no external referral needed.
In-chair recovery nursing

Your own dentist performs the work
Treatment is done by your Bayswater Dentist team — in the clinic you already know.
Sleep Dentistry Is Ideal For
Sleep dentistry suits a wide range of patients. If any of the following apply to you, it may be the perfect solution.
Anxious or Dental-Phobic Patients
If dental fear has been stopping you from getting treatment, general anaesthesia means you are completely unaware — eliminating all stress and discomfort during the procedure.
Patients with a Severe Gag Reflex
A strong gag reflex can make even basic dental work extremely difficult. Under general anaesthesia the gag reflex is inactive, allowing your dentist to work freely without interruption.
Children & Special Needs Patients
For children unable to cooperate while awake, or patients with special healthcare needs, sleep dentistry ensures essential care is delivered safely and without distress.
Complex or Multiple Treatments
Need several procedures done at once? Sleep dentistry lets your dentist complete fillings, extractions, crowns and implants all in a single visit — saving multiple appointments.
Implants & All-on-4 Cases
Our on-site CBCT imaging is ideal for complex implant planning. All-on-4 procedures can be completed comfortably and efficiently under anaesthesia right here at the clinic.
Anyone Who Prefers to Sleep Through It
You don't need severe anxiety to choose sleep dentistry. Many patients simply prefer the comfort of sleeping through their dental care — you wake up and it's done.
