Dedication, Technology and Design are at the CORE of the practice to supports and strengthen dental treatments

Your Local Dentist in Brisbane CBD

Benefits of sedation dentistry?


Anxiety free dentistry serves two main purposes: providing a stress-free dental experience and preparing patients for longer treatments or procedures.

Anxiety free dentistry comes in various forms, from nitrous oxide (happy gas) to general anaesthesia, which requires a hospital setting. At Pickup Significant Smiles, we offer nitrous oxide and local sedation for certain procedures as part of our dental anxiety treatments.

Your comfort is our top priority, and we’re happy to discuss your options. Whether you have dental phobia, feel too nervous to sit in the chair, or have been delaying extensive treatment, our anxiety-free dentistry can help you through.

Happy Gas


Happy Gas is delivered intravenously through a vein in the arm, using a specific chemical combination that helps reduce dental anxiety by creating a relaxed and calm experience at the dental anxiety dentist​​.

Advanced dental anxiety treatments in Brisbane CBD are highly regulated and safe. Patients can easily switch to normal air by breathing through their mouth, with the gas leaving the body within a few breaths. After the procedure, inhaling pure oxygen for three minutes ensures complete elimination, allowing patients to drive home safely within 20 minutes. Experience a stress-free dental visit with this effective sedation method at a trusted dental anxiety dentist​​.


Not everyone may qualify for happy gas, as it depends on the length of your procedure or the extent of your dental fear. Most surgical procedures will still use local anaesthesia as well, numbing that area of your mouth before moving forward with the treatment.

Our Treatments

Happy gas has benefited many people who would otherwise fail to get the dental care they need because the mere thought of stepping inside a dental clinic triggers strong feelings of anxiety or even dread.

Sedation dentistry may also be right for you if you have:

 

  • A sensitive mouth.
  • Strong gag reflex.
  • Resistance to local anaesthetic.
  • A general anxiety disorder.
  • A phobia about dental procedures.

When considering any type of sedation, your dentist will make sure it’s safe for you by assessing your health. This will include asking about your medical history and whether you’re taking any medications.
