Dental Anxiety Is Real, We Are Here to Help
If fear has kept you away from the Dentist, you are not alone. Dental anxiety affects thousands of Australians and can lead to years of avoided care. At Brisbane Smiles, we are known for helping patients overcome that fear — safely, gently, and without judgement.
With IV Sedation Dentistry, you can remain calm, comfortable and pain-free during your appointment, while still awake and able to communicate. Many of our patients tell us they remember little to nothing about the visit, but leave feeling confident and in control of their dental health.
What Is IV Sedation and How Does It Work for Dental Anxiety?
- IV Sedation is a modern, secure and highly effective way to ease anxiety during Dental procedures
- Administered by a Qualified Medical Anaesthetist
- You remain conscious, but deeply relaxed and unaware of the procedure
- You will experience little to no memory of the treatment afterwards
- Ideal for anxious patients or those needing complex or multiple treatments
What Our Patients Say
“This is the best Dentist I have been to. I had a fear of Dentists but the staff here made me feel comfortable to the point that I no longer get anxiety when I go. Dr Karuna has been amazing, she has helped me with my TMJ and also now assisting me with teeth straightening using Invisalign. If you’re looking for new dentist I highly recommend you give them a go.”
“The team was beyond polite and genuine. I never felt like a number, the moment you're greeted, you feel relaxed. There is no pressure to go one way or another, and they actually listen to your requests, they explain treatment thoroughly and not just tell you.For me to say I'm looking forward to having my work done here is huge as I've avoided Dentists for 20+ years and I actually look forward to getting this done now. So, thank you.”
“As a nervous Dentist patient, I have never felt more comfortable or welcomed to any appointment. Brisbane Smiles is setting seriously high standards! Well done!”
“It’s always a very positive experience coming to Brisbane Smiles! Paul has been looking after my teeth for many years and he’s a dream to deal with. So professional and gentle, all of my dental fears dissipate when I’m sitting in his chair. Madonna is beautiful; her kindness and her sincerity always shines through. Thank you to this whole amazing team!”
“Excellent, professional service in a warm welcoming environment. Options for sedation for nervous patients like myself. Thank you Dr Paul and team!”
“Always a lovely experience from the minute you walk in to the second you leave. The administrative staff, dental hygienists and dentists are all exquisitely kind, compassionate, and warm. I always stress about going to the Dentist, but when I get there, I wonder what I ever fretted for. Great team, would recommend to all my loved ones and friends.”

Any invasive or surgical procedure has risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. No dental treatment is suitable for each and every patient. Dentists will only provide care which is suitable to the individual. Patients of Brisbane Smiles must complete examination and consultation appointments to deem suitability for procedures and full informed consent be given by the patient.
