Sedation Dentistry in Airdrie
Comfort-Focused Dental Care for Anxious Patients
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. At Sierra Springs Dental in Airdrie, we offer multiple sedation options so you can receive the dental care you need without fear or discomfort. Whether you experience mild nervousness or severe dental anxiety, our compassionate team will find the right sedation level to make your visit calm, comfortable, and stress-free.
Our Sedation Options
Two safe, proven methods to match your comfort needs.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for a wide range of patients.
What to Expect on Sedation Day
For nitrous oxide, you can eat normally beforehand and drive yourself home afterward, since the effects wear off quickly. For oral conscious sedation, follow any fasting instructions your dentist gives you, and arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from your appointment, since you should not drive for the rest of the day. Wear comfortable clothing, and let our team know about any medications you take.
Related Treatments
Sedation is often paired with treatments that involve more time in the chair or higher anxiety, including root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal, tooth extraction, and emergency dental care.
Cost of Sedation Dentistry
The cost of sedation depends on the type chosen and the length of your procedure. Sedation is often billed alongside the treatment it accompanies. Sierra Springs Dental follows the Alberta Dental Association fee guide, and flexible payment plans are available. Contact us for a personalized quote.
