We are a team of experienced sedation dentists in Stoke on Trent who are familiar in treating patients of all anxiety levels. We are happy to offer you the best dental care to ensure that you have the confidence to maintain your oral health.

If you are very nervous about dental treatment, we also offer sedation dentistry, which uses medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. This is a prescribed drug, which is administered either by an injection or as a gas, which you breathe in. We have an excellent support team to ensure that you are well looked after.

We are also accepting referrals from local dentists who do not offer sedation to their patients.
