The main reason we use sleep dentistry is to help patients relax. When patients are relaxed during a dental exam or treatment, it makes it easier for the dentist to work, which shortens the appointment time.

Elevate Dental always prioritises your dental health and wellbeing, so if it helps you, we’re more than happy to administer nitrous oxide safely and effectively for your peace of mind.
