Sedation Dentistry in NE Calgary
Fear of the dentist keeps many people from getting the care they need. You do not have to feel nervous to visit us. At Smiles at Saddleridge Dental in NE Calgary, we offer sedation dentistry to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during treatment. We are always accepting new patients.

Our Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is breathed in through a small mask. It helps you feel relaxed during your visit. One of our dentists, Dr. Brendan Kalin, offers nitrous sedation for patients of all ages who have dental fears or anxiety.
Oral Sedation
With oral sedation, you take a medication by mouth before your treatment to help you feel calm.
IV Sedation
With IV sedation, the medication is given through a vein, so your dentist can adjust your level of comfort during treatment.
