– Dental Anxiety in Calgary SW

You are not alone. Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people avoid care they genuinely need – and at Westside Dental, we have built our entire patient experience around making you feel safe, in control, and genuinely comfortable. For most anxious patients, our Solea laser removes the very things they fear most: the needle and the drill.

How we treat it: For patients whose anxiety centres on needles and drills – which is most anxious patients — Solea laser dentistry is the answer. Most fillings, soft tissue procedures, and more can be performed without any injection and without a drill. No freezing. No numbness. No anxiety trigger.

For patients who need deeper support, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation. Our clinic is also designed for comfort: Netflix at every chair, noise-cancelling headphones, warm blankets, and a team that establishes a stop signal with every anxious patient before beginning.
