Welcome to Dental Sedation Ottawa, the region's leading sedation dentistry practice. We serve patients from across the National Capital Region—from nearby Vanier, Manor Park, and Sandy Hill to communities throughout Kanata, Orléans, Barrhaven, and the Ottawa Valley. With board-certified medical anesthesiologists on staff, two dedicated general anesthesia suites, and over 25 years of sedation expertise, we provide hospital-grade dental care in a private practice setting. Patients travel from as far as Pembroke, Cornwall, and Hawkesbury because specialized sedation dentistry at this level simply isn't available elsewhere. If dental anxiety has kept you from the care you need, you've found your solution.
Our clinic isn't a typical dental office with sedation added on—it was designed from the ground up for comprehensive sedation dentistry. This matters because proper sedation requires proper infrastructure.
Unlike dental offices that offer sedation in regular treatment rooms, we have two fully-equipped anesthesia suites with hospital-grade monitoring equipment, advanced airway management systems, and emergency resuscitation capabilities.
Dr. Hesham Talab (MD MSc PhD FRCPC FASE) and Dr. Asad Mirghassemi (MD MSc FRCPC) are board-certified medical anesthesiologists—not dentists with sedation training, but physician specialists whose entire careers focus on anesthesia safety.
After sedation, patients recover in comfortable, private bays with continued monitoring until they're ready to go home. Family members can join during recovery.
Our entire facility is wheelchair accessible, with wide corridors, accessible washrooms, and ground-level entry—important for patients with mobility challenges or those recovering from sedation.
We've intentionally avoided the clinical, sterile feel of traditional dental offices. Our space is designed to put anxious patients at ease from the moment they arrive.
