Comfortable, Pain-Free Dentistry at Frenchs Forest Dental
For many people, the idea of dental treatment can bring anxiety or fear—especially if they have had negative experiences in the past or are concerned about discomfort during the procedure. At Frenchs Forest Dental, we understand these concerns and offer a full range of anaesthetic services to ensure your treatment is comfortable, pain-free, and stress-free.
Led by Dr. Ali Shakoori, our experienced team is highly skilled in the use of modern dental anaesthesia techniques, giving you the confidence to undergo necessary dental care with ease.
What Is Dental Anaesthetic?
Dental anaesthetic involves using medications to numb the area being treated or help you relax, so you can undergo procedures without pain or distress. Anaesthetics can be delivered in various forms—local injections, nitrous oxide (happy gas), intravenous sedation (IV sedation), or, in complex cases, general anaesthesia.
The type of anaesthetic recommended depends on the nature of your treatment, your medical history, and your personal preferences. At Frenchs Forest Dental, we always take the time to discuss your options in detail—ensuring you feel informed and comfortable with your choice.
How Does Dental Anaesthetic Work?
Anaesthetic agents temporarily block nerve signals in the treated area, preventing the sensation of pain during the procedure. Depending on the method used, anaesthesia can also help calm your nerves, reduce anxiety, or induce a deeper level of sedation when required.
Before starting any treatment, we assess your individual needs and explain exactly what to expect. Throughout the procedure, your dentist carefully monitors your response and adjusts the anaesthetic as needed—ensuring you remain comfortable at every stage.
Our Approach to Anaesthetic Services
At Frenchs Forest Dental, your comfort is our priority. Whether you need a routine filling, a surgical extraction, or a complex restorative procedure, we have a range of anaesthetic options available and will tailor your care accordingly.
We take the time to understand your needs, medical history, and any previous experiences with dental treatment. Our team is trained in the latest techniques and works with great care to provide safe, effective anaesthesia, allowing you to relax and proceed with your treatment in comfort.

Types of Dental Anaesthetic We Offer
-
Local Anaesthetic
The most common form of anaesthetic, local anaesthetic is injected near the treatment site to numb the area completely. You remain awake and aware, but feel no pain in the area being treated. Local anaesthesia is typically used for fillings, crowns, extractions, and minor surgical procedures. -
Nitrous Oxide (Happy Gas)
Nitrous oxide, also known as happy gas, helps patients feel calm and relaxed during treatment. Delivered through a small mask placed over the nose, the effects are felt quickly and wear off rapidly after the procedure—allowing most patients to return to normal activities the same day. It is suitable for both adults and children, and is an excellent option for patients with mild dental anxiety.
-
IV Sedation
For patients who experience moderate to severe dental anxiety or require longer, more complex treatments, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. Administered through a vein, it induces a state of calm where you are still able to respond but often remember little of the procedure. IV sedation is closely monitored by a trained professional throughout your treatment, and you will need someone to drive you home afterwards. -
General Anaesthetic
In certain complex cases—such as extensive oral surgery or when treating patients with severe dental phobia—general anaesthesia may be used. This is typically performed in a hospital setting under the care of a qualified anaesthetist, where you are placed in a controlled state of unconsciousness. Full monitoring and support ensure your safety throughout the process.
