UK Sedation
Are you a Sedation trained dentist in the UK looking for a thriving business to own?
One that is low stress where you are in control?
Have you thought about an alternative career in Roving Conscious Sedation?
Or would you like to work part time, alongside your regular dental commitment, enjoying the benefits of visiting other practices, working with great teams and providing excellent sedation care for patients?
Or work part time with a view to full time sedation?
At UK Sedation, we can provide you with all the tools you need to offer and market a safe sedation service.
A service that’s designed to make life as easy as possible for practices and patients, reducing the barriers to entry for practices wishing to treat their patients in house, rather than always feeling like they have to refer away.
A business that is yours, without the need for a premises or staff?
UK sedation invites you to look at becoming a license holder. Read on!
Since its conception in Feb 2018, Midlands Sedation has been building a solid base of dental practice clients through a combination of direct marketing, social media presence, word of mouth and face to face meetings with dentists and support staff.
We started with zero patients and zero practices and spent time and effort building procedures, CQC compliance, mobile digital automated scheduling, accountancy and digital note writing systems.
The business grew into a 6 day a week full time career, to the point where more help was needed. We were aware as well of a fundamental shift in the provision of roving sedation dentistry, with more and more practices opting for the safest and most compliant treatment for their patients.
We decided that as the business grew, we could cover more areas of the country. We had done the hard work of building the business knowing what works, what dentists like (being a dentist myself helped!) and what support staff want.
Practices love the ease of booking, the consistency, the quality of sedation, the reassurance of great diary management, the notes left for them after the treatment and the support and training that they get. They know that they are doing everything they can to ensure a safe and enjoyable treatment session for patients, whether they are having simple extraction or a full mouth reconstruction.
