For dental practices

Start working with Safe Sedation

Outsourcing sedation to a dedicated consultant anaesthetist means safer care for your patients, less pressure on your team, and the ability to offer more complex treatment — without adding risk to your practice.

Sedation care in practice

What changes when you use our network

Improved safety

In a single-operator sedation model, attention is split between the dental procedure and the sedation itself — potentially compromising the safety and effectiveness of both.

Our consultant anaesthetists are specialists in perioperative care, providing advice and support throughout planning, treatment and recovery.

Business growth

Working with consultant anaesthetists allows you to extend sedation to more patients, including those who may not previously have been considered suitable.

Practices we work with have gone on to offer more complex services, including full-arch implants and sinus grafting.
