You can visit the dentist and not be in pain.
At Beenleigh Marketplace Dental, we understand that fear and anxiety can often accompany many patients to the dentist, resulting in a stressful, unpleasant experience. We aim to make your experience with us as positive as possible.
For this reason, we offer Nitrous Oxide which is commonly known as laughing gas, and Wand computer-controlled anaesthetic to help ensure that your treatment is conducted in a relaxed, stress and anxiety-free manner.
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is mixed with a precise amount of oxygen through a mask that’s placed over your nose. This gas is designed to calm patient’s nerves and remove the pain associated with dental treatments.
Nitrous oxide has no colour or smell and should not irritate you. The gas can cause you to laugh and giggle and may cause you feel a little light-headed after inhaling for a few minutes as it induces a sense of euphoria. Your dentist is able to control the amount of sedation you receive, and it tends to wear off quite quickly.
The Wand is a computerised anaesthetic distribution method that electronically delivers anaesthetic to patients. It’s a virtually painless injection that allows you to lay back and relax.
Because The Wand system is so precise, it decreases the discomfort you feel with traditional injections. A computer will control both the pressure and the flow rate of the anaesthetic fluid. Almost all our patients report no pain at all.
While our sedation options are suitable for almost all our patients, contact us to discuss your situation before your next appointment.

Dental sedation offers a positive solution for patients who experience dental anxiety or have a low pain tolerance. It can significantly improve their dental experience and make necessary treatments more comfortable. By working closely with your dentist and discussing your individual needs and medical history, you can explore the potential benefits and address any concerns related to sedation. This collaborative approach ensures that you make an informed decision and receive the appropriate level of care to enhance your dental well-being.
Dental sedation, when administered by professionals, is generally safe. However, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects such as temporary drowsiness, dizziness, or allergic reactions. There is also a small risk of respiratory issues or interactions with medications. Nausea or vomiting may occur, and some recovery time is needed. By discussing your medical history and concerns with your dentist, you can minimise risks and ensure a safe sedation experience.
To prepare for dental sedation:
Consult with your dentist to discuss your sedation options and provide your medical history and current medications.
The dental wand, a computer-assisted anaesthetic delivery system, is a good option for patients with dental anxiety, needle phobia, sensitive gag reflexes, difficulty getting numb, children, and those undergoing extensive dental work. Its precise and gentle delivery makes injections more comfortable and less intimidating. However, the dentist’s recommendation should be considered for each patient’s specific case.
The dental wand provides enhanced comfort, reduced anxiety, precise and targeted anaesthesia, minimised collateral numbness, improved safety, and painless palatal injections compared to traditional syringes. It offers a more patient-friendly and efficient way to administer dental anaesthesia.
The dental wand uses computer-assisted technology and an ultra-fine needle to deliver local anaesthesia precisely and comfortably. It minimises discomfort, reduces collateral numbness, and provides a more predictable and controlled injection for dental procedures.
We look forward to welcoming you to Beenleigh Marketplace Dental.
