How Does Sedation Dentistry Help Patients with Dental Anxiety in Calgary?
Dental anxiety affects millions of people and is one of the most common reasons patients delay or avoid necessary care. At Olympic Park Smiles, we offer multiple levels of sedation so we can match the right option to your level of anxiety and the complexity of your procedure.
Sedation dentistry is safe, effective, and used routinely for procedures ranging from simple cleanings to complex restorations. Our team carefully reviews your medical history before recommending any sedation option, and monitors you throughout your appointment.
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety
- Oral sedation (prescription tablet) for moderate anxiety
- IV sedation referrals for deeper sedation needs
- Safe for most patients — medical history reviewed first
- Continuous monitoring throughout your appointment
- Great option for patients with sensitive gag reflexes

What makes this treatment right for you
Stress-Free Appointments
Sedation lets you remain calm and comfortable, even during lengthy or complex procedures that would otherwise cause anxiety.
Get More Done in Less Time
Under sedation, we can often complete multiple procedures in a single visit — fewer appointments, less disruption to your schedule.
No Memory of Discomfort
Many sedation patients have little to no memory of the procedure, which can help reduce dental anxiety over time.
