Bentley Family Dentistry makes comfort a priority — no matter where you’re from.
If just the thought of booking a dental appointment makes your heart race, you’re not alone. In fact, fear of the dentist is one of the most common reasons people avoid care altogether.
But here’s the good news: dental anxiety is manageable — and in Bentley, we’re making sure people from across Central Alberta feel safe, supported, and at ease with gentle sedation options.
From Rimbey to Sylvan Lake to Lacombe and beyond, patients come to us not only because they want great dental care — but because they want to feel calm and in control throughout the process.
Why sedation dentistry?
Whether it’s anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or just wanting a stress-free experience — sedation dentistry helps you:
- Relax throughout your appointment
- Reduce physical tension in your body
- Minimize discomfort or sensitivity
- Get more done in fewer visits
- Actually look forward to your dental care
And it’s not just for people with phobias. Sedation is helpful for:
- Kids with excess fear or hyperactivity
- Seniors who need longer or complex procedures
- Busy parents who want a pain-free, time-efficient visit
- Anyone who hasn’t seen a dentist in years due to nerves
Our comfort-first sedation options
At Bentley Family Dentistry, we offer three safe, effective forms of sedation:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Light sedation that wears off quickly — great for kids and shorter procedures.
- Oral Sedation: A pill you take before your appointment to help you feel relaxed and a little sleepy.
- IV Sedation: For deeper relaxation during longer or more complex treatments — you’ll likely remember very little afterward.
And yes — we’ll walk you through every option in detail so you feel confident about what’s best for you.
Big-city sedation, small-town comfort
Our clinic in Bentley may be small, but we’re proud to offer advanced services you’d usually expect in a much larger centre — including:
- TMJ Pain Care
- Airway Focused Dentistry
- Palatal Development for Kids
- Whole-Family Dental Care

We’re here to make all of that care more accessible — by removing the anxiety barrier with sedation dentistry that’s tailored, compassionate, and safe.
