Oral sedation allows us to carry out necessary care in a way that feels calm, relaxed and manageable, helping you receive treatment without fear or distress.
Supporting nervous patients is one of our priorities. Oral sedation can be a powerful bridge for people who feel unable to seek dental care, easing intense anxiety and reshaping how they experience treatment. For some, it becomes the first step in rebuilding trust, ease and long-term confidence in visiting the dentist.
Oral sedation isn’t only for anxiety; it can also be helpful during long or complex procedures or for patients with a strong gag reflex who find routine treatment uncomfortable.
Load MoreOral sedation may be recommended if you experience dental anxiety or fear, have had difficult past dental experiences, need multiple or longer treatments in fewer appointments, have a strong gag reflex or sensory sensitivity, struggle to tolerate treatment while fully awake, or avoid dental care because of worry.
At Long Lane Dental, we offer treatments to keep your smile healthy and bright, from routine care to advanced cosmetic solutions.

The whole team are friendly and supportive and really takes care of you. The dental hygienist is super caring and friendly. They put your health above all. My experience has been great every time, whether a quick check with the dentist or a longer appointment with the dental hygienist; I’ve always walked out smiling.
Amazing service from Dr Ahmed, Daniah, and the team. I’ve had multiple treatments done by these guys and have been elated by the service and support of the staff each time. Dr Ahmed is extremely thorough with each procedure, and Daniah is super welcoming and great at carrying on conversations!
Lovely family environment. They are always on time, and I never have to wait over 5 minutes before my appointment. My hygienists today were Don and Leanne, and both were very friendly. Made me feel very welcome and did a wonderful job. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
All-round solid experience. I've never really liked the dentist, but this one doesn't stress me out. I had Daniah this time; she stayed calm when there was a bit of a hiccup with a machine, and everything was fine. Good stuff.
