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.

Probably the best ever dental clinic experience in my life. It’s not only that Dr Peter McQuillan and his crew were the incredible professionals but also — the clinic combines classical chic and London style hospitality with that futuristic approach, extra modern technologies and friendliness in the air. I was surprised to find this in Central London — and now I want to be back very soon! Thank you so much, the dream team!

I had laser teeth whitening treatment here as my friend recommended after having it here and I thought his teeth looked great. Its not the cheapest place but the level of service and the skills the dentists have made me feel safe and in reliable hands. My teeth look better than ever and it was a very fast effective service.

The quality, attentiveness, hygiene, care and service at this dentist is superb. I was lucky to have Dr. Natasha Panesar taking care of my new smile. Her attention to detail was outstanding as well as her determination to produce the best result after we agreed what the outcome should look like. Nothing was rushed and as a result each stage of the process gave me the opportunity to get used to the changes and for adjustments to be made. I love my new smile!
