OUR DENTAL TREATMENTS

VIDA Dentistry – Calm, Comfortable, and Compassionate Dental Care

At VIDA Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can be an overwhelming experience for many people. Our dedicated team provides tailored sedation services to help you receive the dental care you need in comfort, confidence, and complete safety.

Whether you are anxious about treatment, have had a previous negative experience, struggle with strong gag reflexes, or require complex dental work, we are here to support you.

We proudly welcome self-referring patients and referrals from other dental practices.

Sedation Services at VIDA Dentistry

We offer tailored sedation options for both adults and children, delivered by highly trained clinical professionals:

Intravenous (IV) Conscious Sedation for Adults (16+)

Led by Dr James Pugh, our IV sedation service allows adult patients to feel deeply relaxed and calm throughout their dental treatment. You remain conscious but comfortable, with little or no memory of the procedure afterwards.

This is ideal for:

• Patients with dental anxiety or phobia
• Those requiring long or complex treatments
• Individuals with strong gag reflexes
• Patients who find dental injections or sounds difficult to tolerate

Paediatric Inhalation Sedation (Happy Gas)

Our gentle and reassuring paediatric inhalation sedation service is provided by Dental Therapist Nida Malik, who has extensive experience helping children feel safe and at ease.

Inhalation sedation:

• Uses a mild, pleasant gas mixture breathed through a nose mask
• Helps reduce anxiety and improve cooperation
• Allows your child to remain awake, responsive, and relaxed
• Is safe, quick to administer, and wears off rapidly

This service helps children receive important care calmly and positively – building lifelong confidence in dental visits.

Why Sedation May Benefit You or Your Child

Sedation dentistry can transform the dental experience. Benefits include:

• Reduced anxiety and stress
• Greater comfort during treatment
• Minimal awareness of dental procedures
• Improved tolerance for longer appointments
• Reduced gag reflex
• More positive and relaxed dental visits in the future

Your safety is our priority. All sedation is carefully planned, monitored, and delivered according to current clinical guidelines.
