Director and Sedation Expert
Home | About Us
If your facility offers minor, non-invasive or dental procedures in the out-of-hospital setting, then IV might assist anxious patients to comply with the procedure. We assist adults and children.
Oral sedation often has an unpredictable onset and duration of effect. This might not coincide with the actual appointment or treatment time. In certain circumstances patients might also be uncomfortable despite adequate LA, for example when an abscess or infection exists in the site being operated on. Other patients might be too sedated and could even develop breathing problems.
National Guidelines now require all patients receiving oral sedation, to receive continuous dedicated blood pressure, O2 Saturation and pulse rate monitoring. Staff would also need to be ILS trained and the clinician needs to be confident in cannulating in case of emergency.
IV sedation offers a solution to all of the above issues. IV sedatives are highly predictable and our experienced medically qualified sedation experts will continuously monitor your patient and are experienced and qualified to deal with any medical emergency. This will ensure that your clinic list runs smoothly and time-efficiently.
Advanced Sedation Ltd offers an experienced advanced sedation service to dentists, doctors and surgeons who have anxious patients needing a minor surgical or dental procedure, and we come to you.
There are a variety of reasons behind patients requiring sedation. Examples include phobias, anxiety, PTSD, painful, complex or extensive minor procedures.Our mobile IV sedation service helps put anxious patients at ease and will make them unaware of their procedure, which can be done at your surgery/facility out of hospital. Not only will an experienced medical doctor be present during the procedure, but our service should ensure that your clinic list runs smoothly and time-efficiently.
With IV sedation, we can guarantee that patient safety comes first. All patients will get a pre-operative phone call to discuss their medical history and appropriate adjustments can be made to ensure patient satisfaction. During sedation, patient saturation and vitals are thoroughly monitored. Pain levels are also monitored, and all drugs are carefully titrated to effect. Post operatively patients are monitored until they are ready for discharge with a suitable escort. IV sedation is the solution for any anxious patient who would rather not know about their procedure. Even though it is very rarely possible, none of our patients remember much about their procedure.

What our patients think about us
I’d just like to thank dr Swart for looking after me so well , I was so so scared and he took all that away. Thank you so much
Dr Rudi was wonderful. I was obviously nervous on arrival, he put me completely at ease and I would without hesitation use him again and highly recommend him.
10 out of 10 from start to finish. Would definitely recommend this to anybody and will definitely do the same without any hesitation.
It worked so well I couldn't remember a thing.
I felt very comfortable with Dr Smit, you can tell she has understanding and reassurance for her patients.
11/10 for Dr Swart, Very professional, friendly and i didn't feel a thing :-)
My whole experience was excellent
For someone who has a real fear of dental procedures, I felt completely relaxed and at ease.
We have worked with Dr Rudi and his team at Advanced Sedation Ltd for several years. It has been an absolutely pleasure - their service is professional, efficient and we have excellent outcomes. We use them for routine dentistry as well as more longer procedures. Our patients always give great feedback. Their online booking system makes life so much easier for coordinating appointments.
