Your Comfort is Our Priority
Your Comfort Comes First
At Lougheed Dental Clinic, we believe dental care should feel comfortable, respectful, and tailored to you. Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning, restorative treatment, or a more involved procedure, our team takes the time to understand your needs and help you feel at ease.
Your comfort matters. Your questions matter. And you’re always in control.
Dental Anxiety Solutions
Our dental office and team is well-versed with modern options to manage pain and anxiety.
Gentle Numbing
For treatments that require local anesthetic, our team takes care to ensure the area is properly numb before treatment begins. We’ll check in with you throughout your appointment and make adjustments when needed.
Sedation Dentistry
Depending on your treatment and individual needs, sedation may include oral medication, nitrous oxide, or intravenous sedation. Your dentist will discuss the appropriate option with you and explain what to expect before treatment.
Comfortable Treatment
Our team is focused on making treatment as comfortable and efficient as possible. We’ll explain what we’re doing, keep you informed, and check in with you throughout your appointment.
Feeling Anxious About the Dentist?
You’re Not Alone.
Dental anxiety is more common than you might think. Whether you’ve had an uncomfortable experience in the past, feel nervous about dental procedures, or simply haven’t visited a dentist in a while, you don’t have to feel embarrassed about it.
At Lougheed Dental Clinic, we welcome conversations about dental anxiety and work with you to find an approach that feels manageable.
Thoughtful Care, From Start to Finish
A comfortable dental experience starts with listening. We encourage you to let our team know what makes you feel more relaxed before your appointment so we can personalize your experience wherever possible.
Take Your Time
There’s never a need to feel rushed. We’ll take the time to explain your treatment, answer your questions, and make sure you’re comfortable before we begin.
Gentle, Patient-Centred Care
Our dentists and dental team take a compassionate approach to every appointment. We tailor treatment to your individual needs and always encourage open communication throughout your visit.
Need a Break? Just Let Us Know.
You’re always welcome to ask for a pause during treatment. Whether you need a moment to relax, rinse, adjust your position, or simply take a breath, just let our team know.
A Few Simple Ways to Feel More Prepared
A little preparation can make your dental visit feel easier.
- Arrive a few minutes early. Give yourself time to settle in without feeling rushed.
- Let us know about any anxiety, sensitivities, previous experiences, or special requests when booking or when you arrive.
- Understanding your treatment can help you feel more confident and relaxed.
- If you’re particularly nervous or have difficulty staying comfortable during treatment, ask our team whether sedation dentistry may be appropriate for you.
