Anesthetic dentist Amsterdam
Choose your location
40% of Dutch people are afraid of the dentist. In Amsterdam alone, that equates to over 300,000 individuals. This is why iSmile offers anaesthesia dentistry for both children and adults. We have several dentists who specialise in treating anxious patients. We can administer light anaesthesia or laughing gas sedation to help you overcome your fear of the dentist. We treat anxious patients every day at our practice, so there is no need to feel embarrassed.
We will take plenty of time to put you at ease first. The dentist will talk you through the treatment step by step and explain how we will treat you. You can choose from the following options:
- Light anaesthesia
- Laughing gas sedation
- Sedative pills
No matter what dental treatment you need, we can anaesthetise you for it at iSmile in Amsterdam. This enables our anxiety dentist to address any dental issues you may have.

Anaesthesia procedure at the dentist
We explain our anaesthesia procedure below, because we know from experience that anxious patients and children like to know what to expect.
Initial consultation
When you make an appointment with our anaesthetic dentist, you can ask for more information about the treatment. You can also do this over the telephone. Please note that during this initial consultation, we will not examine you or draw up a treatment plan.
We will go through the treatment step by step
Before we start, the anaesthetic dentist will talk you through what she is going to do. We take our time to do this to help reduce any anxiety you may have. If this does not work, we also have calming pills to help reduce anxiety.
Light anaesthesia or laughing gas
At iSmile, you can choose one of two methods to help you relax during treatment: light anaesthesia or laughing gas sedation. During laughing gas treatment, you will be given a mask to cover your nose and mouth. As soon as you inhale the gas, you will feel yourself becoming calm and your anxiety will disappear.
You will remain conscious. For extremely anxious patients, we offer treatment under general anaesthetic. Under the supervision of an anaesthetist, you will be given a light anaesthetic so that you will not notice anything during the procedure. Please note that you will not be able to drive or travel home alone after the anaesthetic.
Are you afraid of the dentist, but do you have painful teeth or other dental issues? Make an appointment for an initial consultation. Please let us know if you are anxious, so that we can take this into account.
Tips for reducing your fear of the dentist
- Do breathing exercises before and during your treatment if you feel anxious.
- Bring your smartphone and earphones so you can listen to your favourite music during the procedure.
- Arrange to do something fun after your appointment with the anaesthetic dentist. This way, you can look forward to something positive, which will take your mind off the treatment.
- Make a new appointment for a check-up or follow-up treatment straight away. This will stop you from putting off making an appointment.
Suitable for almost all dental treatments.
Anaesthesia is suitable for almost all dental treatments, such as:
- Dental hygienist
- Filling cavities
- Implants
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Dentures
- Snap-on dentures
- Root canal treatment
- Inflamed gums
- Extraction of teeth or wisdom teeth
If your child is anxious, we can perform treatment under anaesthesia, using laughing gas or calming pills.
Costs of dental anaesthesia
The cost varies from person to person. During the initial consultation, we will assess your situation and discuss the potential costs based on your personalised treatment plan.
