How much does sedation dentistry cost in Lewisham?

Sedation is usually an extra on top of the cost of the dental treatment itself. In London it typically adds between £245 and £395, depending on the type: inhalation sedation (gas and air) is generally cheaper than intravenous sedation, and longer appointments cost more. Some NHS practices and hospital services offer sedation for very nervous patients or complex cases on referral, but it is often a private option. If dental anxiety has kept you away, it is worth asking practices how they support nervous patients. For a fuller overview, see our Sedation Dentistry in London hub, and our NHS dentist London hub for what the NHS covers.
