Dental Sedation
What is Dental Sedation?
Our team in Edmonton will do everything we can to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your dental appointment. We will work at your pace, take breaks, and provide calm reassurance when needed.
However, sometimes patients need a little extra help. At Westmount Dental Centre, we offer dental sedation to help anxious patients get through their appointments. Our available anesthesia is also used to ensure you feel no pain during lengthy or complex procedures.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives are pills or liquids prescribed by your dentist. The medication is taken orally in advance of a dental appointment. It leaves you awake for the procedure, but produces a calming effect to significantly relax you. If you choose to use oral sedation, you will need a responsible adult to take you to and from your appointment.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia is a controlled state of unconsciousness that eliminates awareness, movement and discomfort during dental treatment. Complex treatments can be completed in a single appointment while you are asleep. While under general anesthesia, you should not feel any pain associated with the work being done.
