Additional Dental Care
Good dental care is about more than treating problems. It is also about making your visits comfortable and protecting your teeth from everyday wear and sports injuries. At Edgemont Dental in Southwest Edmonton, our additional care services help anxious patients feel at ease and help protect your teeth from grinding, clenching and impact.
Our Additional Care Services
Sedation Options: Nitrous oxide and oral sedation for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb or longer treatments.
Night Guards and Sport Guards: Custom-fitted guards, made from impressions of your teeth, that protect them from grinding, clenching and impact.
Comfortable Dental Visits
If you feel nervous about the dentist, you are not alone. Our team is friendly and patient, and our office is calm and welcoming. For patients who want extra support, we offer sedation options that are matched to your needs and your treatment, and all sedation is monitored by trained staff after we review your medical history and medications. Please mention any anxiety when you book so we can plan ahead.
Protecting Your Teeth
Many people grind or clench their teeth at night without knowing it, which can wear down enamel and strain the jaw. Athletes can also damage their teeth in games and practice. A custom guard, made to fit your mouth, is a simple way to protect your teeth, your dental work and your smile. No prescription is needed.
