Sedation Dentistry Options in SE Calgary

At White Oak Dental, sedation dentistry is offered to help patients who experience dental anxiety or discomfort during treatment. Sedation Dentistry may be considered for patients who feel uneasy about dental procedures or who have difficulty remaining comfortable during longer appointments.

Our approach focuses on patient safety, clear communication, and individualized care. Sedation options are discussed in advance so patients can make informed decisions about their treatment.

What Is Oral Sedation Dentistry?

Oral sedation may be considered for patients who experience dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, heightened sensitivity, or difficulty sitting comfortably through longer procedures. This approach involves prescribed medication taken before the appointment to help promote a more relaxed state during treatment.

Suitability for oral sedation is determined through a review of medical history and individual assessment. Patients receiving oral sedation must arrange transportation to and from their appointment and follow post-appointment instructions carefully. Our team explains the process in advance, answers questions, and discusses expectations so you can make informed decisions about your oral care.

What is IV Sedation?

IV sedation may be considered for patients who experience significant dental anxiety, require more complex or longer procedures, or prefer a deeper level of relaxation during treatment. This form of sedation is administered intravenously by a qualified medical professional and allows for a controlled level of sedation throughout the appointment while patients remain closely monitored.

Suitability for IV sedation is determined through a thorough medical review and assessment. Our team explains the process in advance, discusses what to expect during and after treatment, and reviews important safety instructions. Patients receiving IV sedation are required to arrange transportation to and from their appointment.

What to Expect With Sedation

If sedation dentistry is recommended (oral or IV), instructions are provided in advance regarding medication use and appointment preparation. Because sedation can affect alertness and reaction time, patients must arrange for a responsible adult to drive them to and from their appointment.

Following treatment, patients are advised to rest and avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for the remainder of the day. Recovery time varies by individual and medication.

Our team reviews all instructions clearly so you know what to expect before and after your visit.
