Had my wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Arvind. I was very nervous, but he explained every step and the whole thing was over in twenty minutes. The swelling was gone in two days. Very clean clinic and friendly staff.

About sedation dentistry
If fear of the dentist has kept you away, you are not alone — and you don't have to grit your teeth through treatment. Conscious sedation helps you feel calm and drowsy while staying able to respond, and many patients remember little of the appointment afterwards.
Sedation is given and monitored by our oral surgeon, with your oxygen level and pulse checked throughout. It is also useful for long procedures such as wisdom tooth removal, implants or full mouth treatment.
This may be suitable if you have
- Dental anxiety or a bad past experience
- A strong gag reflex
- Long or complex treatment
- Difficulty getting numb with local anaesthetic

How treatment works
Talk first
We discuss your worries, review your health and agree which sedation suits you.
Relax and treat
The sedation takes effect within minutes, then treatment begins while you are monitored.
Rest and go home
You rest until steady; after oral sedation, an adult should take you home.
Frequently asked questions
Will I be asleep?
No. Conscious sedation leaves you relaxed and drowsy but able to respond. For treatment under general anaesthesia we refer you to a hospital.
Can I drive afterwards?
After inhaled sedation, usually yes, once the gas has cleared. After oral sedation you must not drive for the rest of the day, so please bring an adult with you.
Is sedation suitable for children?
Inhaled sedation can help some anxious children. Our children's dentist will advise whether it is right for your child.

What patients say about Origin Dental on Google
Got clear aligners here. They showed me a 3D preview before starting, and fourteen months later the result looks exactly like it. Reviews were always on time and nobody tried to upsell me anything.
Took my six-year-old daughter for her first dental visit. Dr. Meera Krishnan was so patient with her, let her sit in the chair and count her teeth first. She actually enjoyed it and wants to go back!
Full mouth rehabilitation with Dr. Meera Raghunathan. The full cost was given in writing before we started and there were no surprises. After years of trouble I can finally chew properly again. Thank you to the whole team.
Single-sitting root canal with Dr. Arjun. Honestly it felt like a filling. He showed me the X-ray before and after and explained why I needed a crown. Highly recommend.
Broke a front tooth on a Sunday morning. Called the helpline, they saw me within the hour and repaired it the same day. Could not tell which tooth it was afterwards.
Teeth whitening with Dr. Kavya before my wedding. Very natural result and no sensitivity at all. The staff are warm and the clinic is spotless.
Flew in from Dubai for two implants. They planned everything on WhatsApp from my X-rays, so I knew the cost and the dates before I landed. Excellent, careful work.
