Do you suffer from anxiety when you visit a dental clinic? Alternatively, you may need to be prepared for a surgery where one of the pain management options is to be asleep. Whatever the reason, some of our patients prefer to snooze their way through dental procedures, which is why we offer sleep dentistry in Melbourne.
Our dental clinic can offer patients the option of having dental treatment done whilst asleep at the convenience of our practice and not at a hospital. We work with highly trained and experienced anesthetists, making the journey simple and comfortable
The cost of having dental treatment done under general anesthesia is broken into three cost components:
1. The dental treatment itself, which is paid 1 week prior. All patients would have completed an initial consultation with a dentist to then work out what treatment is required.
2. General anesthesia facility fee which is $850 and paid 1 week prior. If you have private health insurance and subject to your level of cover, you could claim some of this cost back.
For those 2 item codes, the costs are:
3. Professional Anaesthetist Fee: This is billed by the Professional Anesthetist after the procedure and is time dependent. These fees are $700 for the first hour and then $350 for every half hour or part thereof increment thereafter. You will receive a rebate from Medicare ONLY. It is an outpatient service, so you are not eligible to claim it from private health fund. You can expect to get a rebate of approximately 20% of the Professional Anesthetist’s fees. This rebate is higher for patients with healthcare cards and increases as the fees go up, as it is percentage based.
Sleep dentistry is administered at our purpose-built clinic in Sunshine, Melbourne, by registered anaesthetists.
When you wake up from sedation or general anaesthetic, you may not recall the procedure. How you feel post-procedure will depend on a range of factors. You will be given a personalised instruction sheet detailing important post-operative care and recovery information. We recommend that you do not drive or travel on public transport immediately after such a procedure. You should be escorted home as a precaution.
