Sedation Dentistry Near Geelong

What is Sedative Dentistry?

At Geelong Dental Group, we understand that sometimes, visiting a dentist can make you nervous or even cause anxiety. Happy Gas is also another form of sedation that can alleviate anxiety.

Is It Safe to Use Happy Gas?

Many people have the belief that Happy Gas might make them do or say something embarrassing, but this is not the case at all. Furthermore, Happy Gas is scientifically proven to be safe for both adults and children. To administer the desired level of Happy Gas, a cannula will be placed on your nose where you can simply breathe in and let the gas take effect. It is odourless and does not cause any irritation to your airway system.


The calm and relaxed feeling will only last for the time during which the cannula is placed on your nose, which will be the duration of your dental treatment. When treatment is completed, and the cannula is removed, the euphoric (happy) feeling will wear off within a maximum of two minutes. This allows you to drive and proceed with your daily activities.

Thank you to the awesome staff at Geelong Dental group! I have hated going to the dentist since I was a kid and have gone to numerous other dentists and for the first time in a long time have actually wanted to go back! Very reassuring and very sympathetic from the receptionist to the chair! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I highly recommend Wilson the dentist at GDG. I hadn't been to a dentist for 10 years because of past bad experiences. Wilson and the girls made me feel comfortable and confident the minute I walked in for surgery. He gave me different options and full costings on the spot so I could compare. The quote was affordable and the work was excellent. Thank, Wilson and girls and Paul for fixing my embarrassing teeth, can't stop smiling.

Can highly recommend Wilson and his amazing team, so friendly and very professional. Very happy with the work I have had done. Was terrified to have dental work done but Wilson is so gentle, completely changed my view of visiting the dentist. I had to have extensive work done and the price was very competitive. Thank you all, will always recommend to my friends.

Amazing treatment and service by Wilson and his gang. Not only did Wilson give up his Easter Monday for my urgent root canal he now has made me love visiting the dentist for the first time in my life. I cannot recommend this practice enough. Thank you, team!
