# Sleep Dentistry and Sedation at Core Dental Berwick

At Core Dental Berwick, we understand that dental fear is real - and we have built our entire practice around making nervous patients feel safe, comfortable and cared for. Our sleep dentistry and sedation services mean that no patient has to avoid the dentist due to anxiety.

## Berwick's Most Comfortable Dental Experience

Core Dental Berwick - Your Local Dental Practice - has been serving the Berwick community for over 10 years. Located at Shop 29, 1 O'Shea Rd, Berwick VIC 3806 in the Eden Rise Village shopping precinct, we have earned a reputation for gentle, patient-centred care that keeps patients coming back year after year.

Our Berwick practice offers the most comprehensive service list of any Core Dental location - and our commitment to patient comfort is a cornerstone of everything we do. From Netflix streaming in every treatment chair to soft warm blankets offered during appointments, we go the extra distance to help you relax.

## Sedation Options at Berwick

### Happy Gas (Nitrous Oxide)

Nitrous oxide - commonly known as happy gas or laughing gas - is our most popular option for patients with mild to moderate anxiety. Administered through a comfortable nose mask, nitrous oxide helps you feel calm and at ease while remaining fully conscious. The gas clears from your system rapidly once the mask is removed.

Benefits include:
- Takes effect within minutes
- Wears off quickly - you can drive home afterwards
- Safe for children and adults
- No injections required to administer

### Sedation Dentistry

For patients who need more support, our team can arrange sedation options that allow you to be deeply relaxed throughout your appointment, with little to no memory of the procedure. Our experienced team ensures your safety and comfort at every stage.

Sleep dentistry may be the right choice if you:
- Experience severe dental anxiety or dental phobia
- Need multiple procedures completed in one visit
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Are needle-phobic
- Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past

## The Berwick Difference

Our Berwick practice stands apart in ways that matter to anxious patients:

- **Netflix in every treatment chair** - catch up on your favourite show while we work
- **Soft warm blankets** - a small touch that makes a big difference
- **Extended appointment slots** - never feel rushed; we take the time you need
- **Specialist paediatric dentist** Dr Sarah Scott on-site - ideal for children with dental anxiety
- **Over 10 years serving Berwick** - a trusted, familiar team you can rely on

## Our Berwick Team

Dr Ivy Jin (who also speaks Mandarin), Dr Chelsea Nguyen, and Dr Evan Gai (with a special interest in oral surgery and dental implants) make up our experienced general dental team. Specialist paediatric dentist Dr Sarah Scott rounds out our team for younger patients. All clinicians are AHPRA-registered and ADA members.
