Sydney Sedation Dentist & Surgeon

Dr Michael Walker, reputable Sydney sedation dentist, completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery Degree, from the University of Sydney in 1983.

He lectures at the University of Sydney Sedation Diploma courses and has introduced undergraduates at Westmead Dental Hospital to sedation practices.

WHY SEDATION DENTISTRY?

After starting in dentistry Dr Walker realised there was a need for enhanced services for those patients who, for whatever reason, had a significant fear of dental procedures. With this in mind Dr Walker undertook studies through the Australian Society of Dental Anaesthesiology in Pain and Anxiety Control which gave him the credentials to administer Intravenous Sedation.

During his career Dr Walker has participated in many professional courses in a wide range of topics, including:

  • Australian Society of Dental Anaesthesiology post graduate program in pain and anxiety control,
  • Sydney Centre for Osseointegration of Dental Implants in Branemark system,
  • Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry,
  • Life Saver II course in Advance Life Support,
  • University of Sydney continuing education course in fixed prosthodontics.

In addition to this Dr Walker has had great teaching experience throughout his career in many areas. He has trained Dental Assistants at TAFE and from 1994 to the present day Dr Walker is the University of Sydney Lecturer for diploma students in intravenous sedation, teaching Dentists from across Australia the skills required for sedation dentistry. He is the senior clinical Associate and external Examiner in Intravenous Sedation.

IMPORTANT

We are a certified Dental Board Sedation practice offering Intravenous Sedation on a daily basis unlike other practices that bring in an anaesthetist on a monthly basis to perform their sedations. We receive referrals from many dentists for sedation & General Anaesthesia. So if you enquire elsewhere please ensure, for your security, that it is to a dental board approved practice.

We offer General Anaesthesia on a regular basis at our rooms and we are one of the very, very few in the Sydney metropolitan area.
