Sleep Dentistry 

Gentle Care for Anxious Patients – In-Chair or Under General Anaesthesia

At New Lambton Dental Care, we understand that visiting the dentist can be overwhelming for some patients. Whether you’ve had a past negative experience or struggle with dental anxiety, our team is here to provide gentle, reassuring care using a range of sleep and sedation dentistry options to help you feel calm, safe, and supported throughout your treatment.

It Starts With Communication

One of the most effective ways to manage dental fear is by simply letting us know what you're anxious about. Often, we can ease worries by explaining procedures clearly and answering any questions. We’ll keep you fully informed before, during, and after your appointment, so there are no surprises — just compassionate care.

In-Chair Sedation Options

Both Dr Suha Ravichandran and Dr Sri Selvaraj are trained in Nitrous Oxide sedation techniques, allowing nervous patients to complete treatment while awake but deeply relaxed.
This is ideal for general procedures like fillings, extractions, or cleans where anxiety may otherwise prevent treatment.

General Anaesthesia for Complex Procedures

For patients who prefer to be fully asleep or require more extensive treatment, Dr Sri Selvaraj performs procedures under General Anaesthesia at Warners Bay Private Hospital.
This option is suitable for, but not limited to:

• Multiple extractions

• Dental implants

Your Comfort is Our Priority

From mild anxiety to severe dental phobia, we’re here to find the right solution for you. Whether you're in the chair at our New Lambton clinic or asleep under GA, you'll be in gentle, experienced hands.
