Happy Gas

Feel Calm and Comfortable at the Dentist

Nitrous oxide, often called happy gas, is a colourless, mildly sweet-smelling gas mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a soft nosepiece. It induces a relaxed, euphoric state while keeping you awake and responsive. You’ll feel lighter, more at ease, and free from the stress or discomfort that can sometimes accompany dental care.

Happy gas is one of the safest sedation methods available. It’s non-invasive, doesn’t linger in your system, and has minimal side effects.

Questions

Do you accept all private health funds?
Crows Nest Dentists accepts all private health funds. We process all of the claims through HICAPS. Please speak to our friendly staff at reception before your appointment to discuss your private health and remember to present your card!
Yes! As well as with x-rays in the dental chair, we also offer on-site OPG dental X-rays, saving you the hassle of having to go to a separate X-ray clinic. These X-rays allow us to diagnose jaw problems immediately, including wisdom teeth problems, reducing the need for a second consult appointment.
Using CEREC technology, we can prepare and manufacture your crowns, caps and even bridges in-house. This saves you the stress of having to return for a second appointment. You also no longer have to worry about temporary crowns ever again.
When we determine that your wisdom teeth need to be removed, an OPG is taken (x-ray that rotates around your face showing all your teeth flattened into one image). This will show the roots of the wisdom teeth and their relation to the lower jaw nerve, allowing the dentist to decide on the best way ahead. Either a referral will be made to a specialist or a simple surgery will be planned here in the chair.
