Anaesthetists & sedationists
Sedation is a great option for nervous patients and anyone who feels anxious about receiving treatment. We’ll provide you with options for entering a relaxed and dream-like state which makes it feel as though your appointment passes in no time.
Using sedation, the experienced team at Harley Street Dental Studio have helped thousands of patients overcome lifelong fears and dental phobias to finally get the treatment they need.
If you are interested in IV sedation for your dental treatment, we will arrange for one of our experienced visiting sedationists or anaesthetists to attend for your appointment.


Our sedation services are available to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible during your treatment with us. When sedated you will be conscious, but unaware of what is going on around you. There are three types of sedation available:
Your dentist will be able to help you decide which type of sedation is right for you. For longer or more complicated treatments IV sedation may be advisable. In this instance there will be a charge as the skills and services of an Anaesthetist or Sedationist are required.
At Harley Street Dental Studio, our IV Sedation is administered either by a trained Anaesthetist or Sedationsit. Our visiting clinicians are highly experienced in anaesthesia and sedation and work at many Harley Street clinics, private dental practices and hospitals across London and the UK.
Oral Sedation and Inhalation Sedation are provided in house by our dentists and team of nurses. These are the more commonly used types of sedation. If you are anxious or nervous when visiting the dentist then sedation can be very helpful to keep you relaxed and calm during your appointment.
When receiving sedation you will be fully informed beforehand of any potential side effects and given advice to help with your recovery. If you opt for Oral Sedation, you will need to bring someone along with you to the appointment who is able to take you home afterwards, and it is advisable to rest for the remainder of the day.
The advantages of Inhalation Sedation, or ‘Happy Air’, are that the recovery time is much quicker and it can be used for a wider range of people including children. Inhalation Sedation uses a mix of Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide to induce a relaxed feeling that many people describe as feeling like you are in a warm comfy bed, it also blocks pain.

Sina’s attention to detail, insight and skill is next to none. Part of me feels a written review won’t do the experience justice, however I’ll try. I went into Sina with a good idea of what I wanted “ a natural looking straight smile which retained some character from my natural smile”. Sina clearly listed out the options, the pluses and negatives of each and provided a great deal of education along the way. I went for an exercise of patience and chose to correct the bite and straighten the teeth with Invisalign which was pain free and simple and then went onto perfect the smile with three perfected veneers and a crown. This is where Sina’s attention to detail kicked in. We came up with a plan together and didn’t miss a beat. I went into have a trial smile which I made changes too, things like making the teeth shorter, less round and wider were all things that where taking into account until it was perfect. At no point did I worry about a thing and constantly felt like I was in the best hands around. I couldn’t recommended Sina enough – if you’re planning on getting your smile perfect you’d be wasting your time looking elsewhere!Thanks again Sina.

Great first consultation with Mark, really helpful and insightful experience. Allowed me to review all my options, in a simple and easy way. Too often is the case experts make consultations over complicated, sign of a true expert in my opinion is making something complex easy to understand!
