Sleep dentistry, including general anaesthetic, relieves anxiety for many of our patients in Hampton Park.

Relaxed Dentistry for Patients with Anxiety

General Anaesthetic in Hampton Park

Does the thought of going to the dentist cause you to feel anxious or fearful? At Hampton Park Dental, we understand that many of our patients feel this way, and that's why we offer sleep dentistry options with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and more profound relaxation with general anaesthetic (GA).

What Is General Anaesthetic?

GA provides deep, sleep-like relaxation for patients in a hospital setting so they can get the dental procedures they need to be done in a manner that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Our team monitors your vital signs and heart rate throughout your procedures, and we adjust the medication accordingly. Recovery from GA is done slowly in the hospital, following all of their protocols before you are released to go home.

Who Is GA For?

General anaesthetic could be helpful and beneficial for those with the following:

Severe gag reflexes
Heightened dental phobia, fear, or anxiety
Need for extensive or complex procedures like oral surgery or root canals they'd like to complete during one appointment
Special physical, emotional or medical needs

Our dentists are happy to discuss your options for treatment with dental sedation during a consultation appointment.

What Are the Benefits of General Anaesthetic in Hampton Park, VIC?

GA not only helps you achieve deep relaxation, but it also saves you time because we can complete multiple procedures and more complex services during one appointment. Once your dental health is restored, it is easier to maintain it in the future with less invasive procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of dental treatment depends on the type of procedures you need, and it's very specific to each patient's unique needs. The best way to determine the cost of your treatment is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists to determine your own treatment needs.

During your evaluation, our dentists discuss your oral health goals with you and gather information about your smile and dental health with an exam, x-rays, and photos of your teeth. After your evaluation, you'll clearly understand your treatment needs and options, what your timeline looks like for finishing, and the cost.

Yes! If you're considering extensive dental treatment, we can help you gain early access to your superannuation funds to help you cover the cost of your treatment. Early super access can be ideal in these situations:

You or at least one family member have superannuation funds
You don't have personal health fund insurance
It would be a financial hardship to cover the cost of your treatment with personal resources

Our team can help you with the paperwork for early super access while a SuperCare representative walks you through the rest of the process. You can contact our team for more information on early super access.

Note: Accessing superannuation for dental treatment is subject to eligibility and approval by the relevant government agency. We can assist with the process, but approval is not guaranteed.

Other Convenient Payment Options

If early super access is not an option for you, we do offer other options that can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for dental care, such as:

A gap-free comprehensive check-up and clean for eligible patients on any private health fund
Preferred provider status with Medibank, Bupa, CBHS, HCF and NIB, which may mean even lower out-of-pocket costs on selected treatments
Relationships with third-party companies that can offer affordable monthly payment plans, like Humm, Afterpay, TLC
Medicare Child Dental Benefit
HICAPS claims processing

Eligibility for health fund benefits, payment plans, and superannuation access varies depending on the provider and individual circumstances. Terms, conditions, and lending criteria apply. Please check with your health fund or finance provider to confirm your eligibility before treatment.
