Gentle. Calm. Completely Supported.
What Is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep Dentistry allows you to receive dental treatment while deeply relaxed under IV sedation. Many patients describe it as feeling like they “slept through” their appointment — with little or no memory of the procedure afterwards.
If you feel anxious about dental visits, have had a difficult past experience, or simply want a more comfortable way to complete treatment, this option can be life-changing.
At Iconic Dentistry, your care is delivered in the familiar, private surroundings of our South Perth clinic with the highest standards of safety and professionalism.
Why Patients Choose Sleep Dentistry
- Ideal for nervous or phobic patients
- Comfortable, pain-free procedures
- Minimal memory of treatment
- Multiple procedures completed in fewer visits
- Reduced gag reflex
- A calm, controlled experience from start to finish
Many of our patients tell us they wish they had done it sooner.

Whether your treatment is functional, cosmetic, or surgical, we can design a plan that makes it comfortable and stress-free.
What to Expect
Before Your Appointment
You’ll receive a thorough consultation and medical assessment to ensure IV sedation is appropriate for you. We provide clear instructions so you feel fully prepared and informed.
During Treatment
You will feel deeply relaxed and comfortable. Most patients drift into a dream-like state. You will continue to breathe naturally and respond if needed, but you will feel calm and unaware of the procedure.
After Treatment
We provide complete post-operative instructions and support. You will need a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you for the remainder of the day. Our team remains available if you have any questions during recovery.
Is Sleep Dentistry Right for You?
Sleep Dentistry may be ideal if you:
- Feel anxious or fearful about dental treatment
- Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
- Avoid the dentist due to stress or embarrassment
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Need extensive treatment
- Prefer to complete multiple procedures in one visit
If you’re unsure, we’re happy to discuss your concerns in a relaxed, no-pressure consultation.
