For anxious patients, those with a strong gag reflex, and longer procedures (All-on-4, zygomatic implants, multiple extractions): IV conscious sedation with propofol or general anaesthetic, delivered on-site by a consultant anaesthetist — not the dentist. The same standards you would expect at home, in a clinic that has been documenting cases since 1985.
Light anxiolysis with nitrous oxide. You stay awake and responsive. Recovery in roughly 10 minutes. Suitable for a first visit or mild anxiety.
Conscious "twilight" sedation. You breathe on your own, respond to verbal cues, and typically have no memory of the procedure. Our standard for All-on-4 and longer surgical visits.
For very long procedures (over 4 hours), severe dental phobia, or paediatric cases that cannot be managed with sedation alone. Intubated and ventilated by a consultant anaesthetist.
NHS routine dentistry rarely funds IV sedation outside hospital referral pathways, and private waiting lists in the UK are long. We fill that gap for patients travelling from the UK to Istanbul who need treatment under sedation but cannot wait or self-fund a hospital admission at home.
ASA classification, ECG, blood work. We liaise with your GP if you have any relevant medical history. Nothing starts without it.
ECG, SpO₂, end-tidal CO₂, non-invasive blood pressure. The consultant anaesthetist — not the dentist — manages your sedation throughout.
30–60 minutes of post-operative observation. We discharge you only with a chaperone — not on your own.
No driving, no important decisions for 24 hours. You leave with a written discharge note. Your UK GP and dentist receive an NHS-compatible record on request.
All sedation pricing is itemised on your written treatment plan, delivered within 4 hours of your enquiry. No "from" prices, no surprises on the day.
Sedation visits include written discharge instructions in English, an NHS-compatible record for your UK dentist or GP, and access to our Aftercare Protocol — including a WhatsApp reply within 30 minutes whenever you need it. Our 10-year implant, 5-year crown and veneer, 2-year endodontic and 1-year soft-tissue cover applies to the underlying treatment, not the sedation itself.
Send us your concerns and any recent x-rays. Dr. G. Cansu Öztürk — an endodontist with specialist training — and our consultant anaesthetist will design a sedation pathway that fits the case. WhatsApp reply within 30 minutes. Written plan in 4 hours.
