SW Calgary Sedation Dentistry

Oral Sedation Dentistry in SW Calgary for a Calmer Dental Experience

At Dr. Korol Dental, we understand that dental visits can sometimes feel stressful. If you experience anxiety, fear, or difficulty during treatment, oral sedation may help you feel more relaxed and supported. Our team is pleased to provide this safe and effective option for patients who want extra reassurance during their dental care.

What is Oral Sedation?

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help reduce feelings of stress and promote relaxation. You will remain awake and able to respond throughout your visit, but you may feel drowsy and less aware of the sounds and sensations around you.

Oral sedation may be especially helpful for patients who:

• Experience dental anxiety or fear
• Have had negative dental experiences in the past
• Struggle with a strong gag reflex
• Require longer or more complex treatments
• Prefer additional comfort during routine care

What to Expect with Oral Sedation

If oral sedation is recommended, Dr. Korol will either provide you with a prescription for a medication to pick up before your appointment or provide the sedative in office. You will have clear instructions when and how to take the medication either before the appointment or in office. The effects of sedation can last several hours. You will need a responsible adult to accompany you and drive you to and from the appointment.

During your visit, our team will monitor you carefully and ensure you are as comfortable as possible. After treatment, you may continue to feel drowsy, so rest is advised for the remainder of the day.

Compassionate Care for Every Patient

At Dr. Korol Dental, we are committed to making dental care as safe, comfortable, and positive as possible. Oral sedation is one way we help reduce anxiety and create a more relaxed experience for patients who need extra support.
