At our clinic in Palma de Mallorca we know that fear of the dentist has no age. That is why we adapt conscious sedation for children and adults. This medical technique takes you into a state of deep relaxation and well-being while we carry out your treatment. You stay awake, calm and completely free of pain and anxiety: a comfortable, safe experience from start to finish. Leave behind the stress, the traditional injections and the fear of the dental chair.
What is conscious sedation and how does it help you?
Conscious sedation is a medical technique that combines local anesthesia with relaxing medication to completely eliminate anxiety, fear and pain during dental treatment, keeping you awake and safe at all times.
Unlike general anesthesia, you never lose consciousness. You stay in a state of deep relaxation and well-being: you breathe on your own and respond to the dentist’s instructions, while your mind and body are completely free from stress.
Your peace of mind is our best technique

Frequently asked questions about pain-free treatment
We answer the questions our patients ask us most often.
Will I be completely asleep, like in a hospital?
No. It is not general anesthesia. You stay conscious: you can breathe on your own and respond if the dentist speaks to you, but you will feel so relaxed that you will neither notice nor be affected by what happens around you.
Will I feel any pain?
No, absolutely none. Conscious sedation blocks anxiety and stress, while local anesthesia eliminates any stimulus or physical pain in the mouth.
Is conscious sedation safe?
Yes, it is completely safe. The whole procedure is carried out under the constant supervision of an anesthesiologist or certified professional, who monitors your pulse, oxygen level and blood pressure in real time.
Is it suitable for children and the elderly?
Yes, it is suitable for all ages. It is ideal for children who are very frightened, adults with a phobia of the dentist, people with high sensitivity, or the elderly who need long procedures such as implants.
How long do the effects last?
The effect fades immediately once the medication is withdrawn. Within a few minutes of finishing you will be back to normal and able to walk home under your own power, always accompanied by an adult as a precaution.
Are there any contraindications? Is there anyone who cannot use it?
It is a very safe technique, but it is not recommended for pregnant women (especially during the first trimester), people with severe uncontrolled respiratory conditions, or people with specific allergies to the medications used. Our medical team will review your health history before authorizing the procedure.
