EXPERT CARE
When you need oral surgery—whether it's wisdom teeth removal, a tooth extraction, or another surgical procedure—anxiety about the experience is completely normal. At Dental Sedation Ottawa, we specialize in making oral surgery comfortable and stress-free using comprehensive sedation options. From gentle relaxation to complete sleep, you can receive the surgical care you need without fear or pain.
Oral surgery includes any surgical procedure performed in or around your mouth and jaw. While the term "surgery" might sound intimidating, many oral surgery procedures are actually quite straightforward and routine in dentistry. Think of them as advanced treatments that go beyond regular fillings or cleanings—they address problems that require removing tissue, repositioning teeth, or working with bone.
The most common oral surgery procedures we perform include wisdom teeth removal and tooth extractions. These treatments often become necessary when teeth are damaged beyond repair, impacted, infected, or causing problems for surrounding teeth. While some people experience minimal anxiety about these procedures, others feel significant fear—and that's exactly why we've built our practice around comprehensive sedation dentistry.
At our Ottawa dental clinic, no patient should experience fear or unnecessary discomfort during oral surgery. Whether you need a simple extraction or complex wisdom teeth removal, we make your comfort and safety our absolute top priorities.
YOUR COMFORT OPTIONS
We understand that many people delay necessary oral surgery because of anxiety about pain or the procedure itself. That's why we've developed a sedation-first philosophy—every oral surgery patient has access to the sedation option that best fits their needs and comfort level.
Mild relaxation for patients with minimal anxiety. You stay fully awake and aware, and effects wear off within minutes after the mask is removed.
Medication taken before your appointment creates drowsiness and significant anxiety reduction. You remain conscious but relaxed, often with little memory afterward.
Deep relaxation or light sleep through medication delivered directly into your bloodstream. You'll have little to no memory of the procedure. Popular for wisdom teeth and multiple extractions.
Complete unconsciousness with zero awareness, administered by board-certified medical anesthesiologists (Dr. Hesham Talab, MD MSc PhD FRCPC FASE and Dr. Asad Mirghassemi, MD MSc FRCPC). Hospital-grade safety for complex surgery or severe anxiety.
We'll help you choose the sedation level that matches your anxiety, your procedure complexity, and your personal preferences. No judgment—just compassionate care designed around your comfort.

WE UNDERSTAND
Fear of oral surgery is one of the most common dental anxieties. You're not alone if you experience any of these concerns:
The thought of surgical instruments in your mouth can trigger intense anxiety. Rest assured—modern anesthesia techniques combined with our sedation options mean you'll feel nothing during your procedure. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience actually is.
The sounds of dental instruments or the sensation of pressure can be distressing. With IV sedation or general anesthesia, you won't hear or feel anything. You'll simply wake up with your procedure complete.
Lying in a dental chair while someone works in your mouth can feel vulnerable. We address this by explaining everything beforehand, giving you control over your sedation level, and providing a calm, reassuring environment.
If you've had painful or frightening dental experiences in the past, those memories can create lasting fear. We specialize in helping patients overcome dental trauma by creating new, positive experiences.
Many patients fear the injection of local anesthetic. With sedation, you'll already be deeply relaxed or asleep when we administer numbing medication—you won't remember it.
Worrying about pain, swelling, or complications after surgery is normal. We provide comprehensive post-operative instructions, prescribe appropriate medications, and are available 24/7 for questions or concerns.
Whatever your concern, we have solutions. Our team is trained specifically to work with anxious patients, and our sedation options allow everyone to receive the oral surgery care they need in complete comfort.

YOUR EXPERIENCE
During your initial consultation, we evaluate your oral health, take any necessary X-rays or 3D scans, and discuss your procedure options. We'll explain exactly what your surgery involves, review your sedation options, answer all your questions, and provide a detailed cost estimate.
If you're having sedation beyond nitrous oxide, you'll receive specific instructions about eating, drinking, and medications before your appointment. You'll need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home afterward.
On surgery day, we'll administer your chosen sedation, ensure you're completely comfortable, and perform your procedure. With appropriate sedation, you'll experience no pain and likely have little or no memory of the surgery.
Throughout your procedure, we continuously monitor your vital signs for safety. Our skilled surgical team works efficiently and precisely while you rest comfortably.
After your procedure, you'll rest in our recovery area until you're ready for discharge. We'll provide detailed post-operative instructions and prescriptions for any necessary medications. We follow up to ensure your healing is progressing well and are available 24/7 for questions or concerns.
EFFICIENCY
One of the greatest advantages of our sedation-supported oral surgery is the ability to complete multiple procedures during a single appointment. Rather than scheduling several separate surgeries—each with its own anxiety, sedation costs, and recovery period—you can have everything done at once.
With IV sedation or general anesthesia, even lengthy procedures pass quickly from your perspective—you simply rest while we complete your treatment efficiently and precisely.
