At Wilhite Plano Dentist, we understand that many patients experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist. To ensure your comfort, we offer sedation dentistry as part of our comprehensive services. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, Dr. David Wilhite and his experienced team provide safe and effective sedation options to help you relax and receive the care you need without stress.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures. It’s ideal for individuals with dental anxiety, low pain tolerance, or a strong gag reflex, as well as those undergoing lengthy treatments. At Wilhite Plano Dentist, we offer various sedation options, tailored to meet your needs, and ensure a painless, stress-free experience.
Types of Sedation We Offer
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is administered through a prescribed pill that helps you feel deeply relaxed throughout your treatment. You remain conscious but in a state of calm, allowing for anxiety-free dental work.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Commonly known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide sedation is a mild form of sedation that is inhaled through a mask. It helps reduce anxiety while allowing you to remain fully awake and responsive.
IV Sedation
For patients requiring deeper sedation, IV sedation is available. This method provides a more profound state of relaxation, where you may not recall the procedure, yet you remain responsive.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is beneficial for patients with various needs. Whether you have a fear of dental procedures, require multiple treatments in one visit, or experience difficulty sitting still for extended periods, sedation can make your dental experience more pleasant. Additionally, patients with sensitive teeth, a low pain threshold, or complex treatment plans can benefit from sedation options tailored to their comfort level.
