About Totem Dental

We believe dental care should be calm, comprehensive, and accessible — even for patients who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or have complex needs.

We focus exclusively on sleep dentistry under general anaesthetic (GA). This means all treatments are completed while you are fully asleep, in a day surgery setting, with the support of a specialist anaesthetist.

Whether you’re an adult who has avoided the dentist for years, a child needing extensive work, or someone with special needs, our approach is built around comfort, trust, and safety — not pressure.
