Providing Better Smiles to Calgary & nearby areas of Alberta

It’s common to feel afraid or anxious about visiting the dentist. In fact, studies show that as much as 30 percent of the population avoids receiving general dental services due to dental fear and anxiety. This fear can also extend to cosmetic dental treatments, which can be unfortunate because a healthy and attractive smile can greatly impact one’s self-confidence and first impressions.

At Southcentre Dental Clinic in Calgary, Alberta, we understand these fears and offer our patients the option of oral dental sedation. This method can help you feel comfortable and relaxed during even the most complex dental procedures. Our dentist, Dr. Silver, will work with you to determine the type and amount of sedation that is safe and effective for your needs.

Don’t let your fear of the dentist keep you from receiving the dental care you need. If you live in or around Calgary, Alberta, please contact Southcentre Dental Clinic today to discuss your options for sedation dentistry.
