It is completely normal to feel anxious about dental surgery. In fact, dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people put off restoring their smile. If the thought of sitting in the dentist’s chair is holding you back, you might be wondering if you can simply sleep through the entire process.
The short answer is yes. You can undergo your implant procedure in a deeply relaxed, sleep-induced state using Intravenous (IV) Sedation.
At Bespoke Dental & Implant Clinic, we specialise in helping nervous patients across our Manchester and London clinics. You do not have to let negative past experiences or a fear of the dentist prevent you from getting the care you deserve.
What is Dental Implant Sedation?
When people want to know if they can be put to sleep for dental implants, they are usually referring to IV sedation.
While this is not a general anaesthetic, which renders you completely unconscious and is only performed in a hospital setting, IV sedation is incredibly effective. It places you in such a profound state of relaxation that you will feel completely at ease. Most importantly, the vast majority of our patients have absolutely no memory of the procedure once the medication wears off. It feels just like you have slept through the entire appointment.
This specific sedation is ideal for placing dental implants, wisdom teeth extractions, and other complex surgical treatments where your comfort is our absolute priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you get put to sleep for dental implants automatically?
No, sedation is entirely optional. Many patients find they are perfectly comfortable having their implants placed using only a local anaesthetic, which completely numbs the area. However, if you are a nervous patient, we highly recommend exploring our sedation options.
Are you put to sleep for dental implants if you only need one tooth replaced?
We can provide IV sedation regardless of whether you are having a single implant placed or a full arch restoration. We tailor the experience entirely to your anxiety levels and the complexity of the surgery.
Can you be put to sleep for dental implants safely?
Yes. IV sedation is a highly safe and routine procedure when administered by trained professionals. Throughout your treatment, your vital signs are strictly monitored by our dedicated clinical team to ensure you remain safe and comfortable.
