Comfort Without Compromise
A calmer way to receive dental care
For some people, the thought of dental treatment can feel overwhelming. Sleep dentistry provides a carefully planned anaesthetic option so treatment can proceed without the sights, sounds or awareness that may cause distress.
New Age Anaesthesia brings hospital-standard monitoring, specialist expertise and modern anaesthetic equipment directly into suitable dental practices. Your dentist remains focused on treatment while the anaesthetist is dedicated solely to your wellbeing.
Familiar Surroundings
Receive care at the dental practice and with the clinical team you already know, rather than travelling to hospital.
Treatment in One Session
Long or multiple procedures may be completed efficiently in a single appointment, reducing repeat visits and recovery periods.
Specialist-Led Care
A specialist anaesthetist plans and administers your anaesthetic and monitors you continuously throughout treatment.
Gentle Recovery
Modern short-acting techniques support a smooth wake-up and allow recovery to begin promptly after the procedure.
The Experience
What happens on the day
Your care is planned before the appointment and monitored through every stage, from preparation to a safe discharge home.
- 01
Assessment
A confidential pre-operative consultation reviews your health, medications and previous anaesthetic experiences.
- 02
Going to Sleep
After final checks, anaesthesia is administered through a small cannula and you drift comfortably to sleep.
- 03
Treatment
The anaesthetist remains with you, continuously monitoring breathing, oxygen, circulation and depth of anaesthesia.
- 04
Recovery
You wake in a monitored recovery area and leave with your responsible adult once the team confirms it is safe.
For Dentists & Practices
How we can help build your practice — in the convenience of your practice
Offer suitable patients hospital-standard general anaesthesia in familiar surroundings, while your team stays focused on treatment. We bring the specialist expertise, equipment and coordination needed to make an anaesthesia list work efficiently within your practice.
Enquire for Your PracticeCare Within Your Practice
Suitable general anaesthesia procedures can be performed safely in your practice, helping patients remain with the dental team they know.
No Cost to the Practice
There is no cost to your practice for including our team in patient care. Our professional fees are billed directly to the patient.
A Practical Hospital Alternative
In-practice care can provide meaningful cost savings and convenience for both your practice and patients compared with hospital treatment.
A Compact Mobile Setup
Our complete mobile anaesthesia setup has a surprisingly small footprint and is installed before the list, then removed when it is complete.
Coordinated, Efficient Lists
We work with your staff and patients to coordinate scheduling, with efficiency increasing when several anaesthesia cases are arranged together.
More Treatment, Fewer Visits
Larger treatment plans may be completed in one session rather than several visits, with after-hours and weekend lists available by arrangement.
Safety & Quality
Your safety comes first
Every case is individually assessed. Anaesthesia is delivered only in a suitable practice with the equipment, space, trained team and emergency arrangements required for safe care.
- Consultant-delivered anaesthetic care with continuous monitoring throughout the procedure.
- Specialist equipment, emergency medicines and resuscitation capability are supplied and checked for every list.
- Clear fasting, medication and aftercare instructions are provided for your individual circumstances.
- A responsible adult must escort you home and remain with you after discharge; you must not drive or operate machinery for 24 hours.
