You will be warmly welcomed to our day care unit where our staff will see that you’re treated with exceptional care. Our skilled doctors have years of experience and practice to the highest standards you expect and deserve, ensuring long-lasting results without discomfort.You will be offered a local anaesthetic, or a number of choices for painkillers or sedatives, including a deep sedation option. With deep sedation you won’t be unconscious, but you will sleep through the procedure with little or no memory of it. However, it only needs up to an hour of recovery time before you’re ready to leave the clinic and get on with your day.
