Sedation Dentistry & Comfort Care in Ottawa
If dental visits make you anxious, you are not alone. We go at your pace, explain everything first, and offer comfort options and sedation for anxious patients.
Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and it keeps many people away from care they need. At Ledbury Dental we never rush or lecture. We start with a conversation about what worries you, agree on a signal to pause at any time, and explain each step before we do it.
Simple comforts make a real difference — weighted blankets, noise-cancelling headphones, thorough numbing and plenty of breaks. For more involved treatment or higher anxiety, we offer sedation options, and we talk through which are suitable for you, your health history and the procedure.
Sedation may be covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan in some cases, which can require pre-authorization. We confirm coverage and costs with you before your appointment so there are no surprises.
