Referring a patient for IV Sedation in Bracknell, Berkshire

Patients can be self referred or referred to us from their own dentist but only on a private basis.

At CrownWood Dental, we welcome referrals for patients that are nervous or anxious about visiting the dentist and require IV Sedation. We have put together a fantastic team of experts that are especially sympathetic about these feelings so you can rest assured your patient is in safe hands.

We accept IV sedation referrals for phobic or seriously nervous patients and for patients undertaking more complex treatments that involve surgery, such as dental implants or the more lengthy sessions of treatment as can be the case with root canal treatment for example.

By referring your patient to CrownWood Dental you are giving them access to a team of dentists, both specialist and consultant, who are experienced with nervous patients.

Dr Raji Ranganathan, Dr Aman Ruprah, Dr Pavan Gogna and Dr Chi-Yuen Wong can all assist with sedation techniques to make your experience more pleasant.

With sedation, your patient will become drowsy and unaware of any treatment, but will still able to co-operate with the dentist. The effects of the sedative will take some time to wear off, we will tell your patient how long the drugs will take to clear from there body however they will not be able to drink alcohol, drive or work machinery during this time.

Refer your patients with confidence

IV sedation referrals are carried out by the CrownWood Dental sedation team made up of Dr Raji Ranganathan, Dr Aman Ruprah, Dr Pavan Gogna and Dr Chi-Yuen Wong.
