Fear of the dentist shouldn't stand between you and a healthy smile. At Dental Sedation Ottawa, we specialize in making dental care comfortable for everyone — from anxious children to adults with severe dental phobia. Whether you need a simple cleaning or complex dental surgery, our comprehensive sedation options ensure you can receive the treatment you need in complete comfort and peace of mind.
Sedation dentistry uses safe, proven medications to help patients feel calm, relaxed, or peacefully asleep during dental procedures. Think of it as a bridge between you and the dental care you need — removing the barriers of fear, anxiety, and discomfort that might otherwise keep you from treatment.
From mild relaxation to complete sleep, sedation dentistry offers solutions for every comfort level. Some patients simply want to feel less nervous during a routine filling. Others prefer to have no awareness or memory of their procedure at all. We tailor your sedation to match your specific needs, anxiety level, and the complexity of your treatment.
The benefits extend far beyond comfort. Sedation allows us to work more efficiently and precisely when patients are completely relaxed. For those needing extensive dental work, we can often complete multiple procedures in a single visit — saving you time, reducing overall costs, and minimizing the number of appointments and recovery periods you'll need.
From mild relaxation to complete sleep — we match your sedation to your needs.

What truly sets us apart: our sedation is administered by medical doctors — board-certified anesthesiologists with hospital credentials — not dentists with weekend certification courses.
We discuss your anxiety level, dental history, medical conditions, and treatment needs. Together, we recommend the ideal sedation option.
You'll receive specific instructions about eating, drinking, medications, and what to wear. Deeper sedation requires arranging a driver.
Our team ensures you're comfortable and answers any last questions before administering sedation. You'll feel relaxed before any treatment begins.
While you're relaxed or sleeping comfortably, we complete your dental work efficiently and precisely. Many patients complete extensive treatment in a single visit.
We monitor you as sedation wears off in our recovery area. For deeper sedation, your designated driver will take you home to rest comfortably.
