IV sedation, brought to your practice.
Cloud 9 Sedation comes to your surgery with everything needed for safe, comfortable conscious sedation, so nervous patients can be treated by the dentist they already trust.
- IACSD-standard conscious sedation
- Monitoring & emergency kit supplied
- Flexible sessions to suit your diary
- Calm, patient-first care
Offer sedation without the overheads
Keep anxious patients in your practice instead of referring them away. We bring the sedation; you focus on the dentistry.
Keep patients in-house
Nervous patients stay with the dentist they know, rather than going on a hospital or referral waiting list.
Add a new service
Take on implants, extractions and longer treatment plans that anxious patients would otherwise avoid.
No equipment to buy
We bring monitoring, sedation drugs and emergency equipment to every session. Nothing to buy or maintain.
Sessions that fit your diary
Book a single patient or a full sedation list, on the days that suit your practice.
Paperwork handled
Assessment, consent, sedation records and discharge instructions, all documented to current standards.
Safety first
Care follows IACSD standards for conscious sedation in dentistry, with full monitoring throughout.
Simple for you. Calm for your patients.

Sedation day
We arrive with all equipment, sedate and monitor each patient while your dentist carries out the treatment.
Safe recovery
Patients recover under supervision and go home with their escort and clear aftercare instructions.
Dental treatment, without the dread
If the thought of the dentist makes you anxious, IV sedation can help. A sedative is given through a small cannula in your hand or arm, so you feel deeply relaxed throughout your treatment.
We work with dental practices across the region. Ask your dentist about sedation with Cloud 9, or contact us and we'll point you to a practice we work with.
What sedation feels like
- You stay awake and able to respond, but feel calm and drowsy.
- Many people remember little or nothing of the treatment afterwards.
- You're monitored the whole time by a trained sedationist.
- Your dentist still uses local anaesthetic, so the area is numb.
You'll need a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you. Don't drive, work or make important decisions for the rest of the day. Full instructions are given before your appointment.

Frequently asked questions
What does the practice need to provide?
A surgery, a dentist and a dental nurse for the treatment, plus somewhere suitable for patients to recover. We bring the sedation drugs, monitoring and emergency equipment.
Do you work to IACSD standards?
Yes. All sedation follows the Intercollegiate Advisory Committee for Sedation in Dentistry (IACSD) standards for conscious sedation in the provision of dental care.
How are sessions booked and charged?
Sessions can be booked per patient or as a half-day or full-day list. Get in touch for current rates and availability.
Who assesses the patient?
Every patient has a pre-sedation assessment covering medical history, suitability and written consent before their treatment date.
Can you help with implant and surgical cases?
Yes. Longer and surgical treatments such as implants and wisdom tooth removal are among the most common reasons practices book sedation.
Will I be asleep?
No. Conscious sedation keeps you awake and able to respond, but very relaxed. Many people remember little of the appointment afterwards.
Does it hurt?
You'll feel a small scratch when the cannula goes in. Your dentist also numbs the area with local anaesthetic, so the treatment itself shouldn't hurt.
What do I need to do on the day?
Bring a responsible adult who can take you home and stay with you. You'll be given full instructions, including about eating, drinking and your usual medicines, before your appointment.
Can I have sedation at my own dentist?
If your practice works with us, yes. Ask your dentist, or contact us and we'll let you know which practices near you offer sedation with Cloud 9.
Is sedation suitable for everyone?
Most adults are suitable, but some medical conditions and medicines need extra care. Your suitability is checked at your assessment.
