Types of Sedation
At White Dental Spa, we offer three effective types of sedation to accommodate your needs and preferences.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Oral Sedation
IV Moderate Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask during your procedure. It provides a calming effect while keeping you conscious and responsive. Once the mask is removed, the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your day without lasting drowsiness.
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment to promote relaxation. The medication induces a deeper state of calm, though you’ll remain awake. It’s perfect for patients with moderate anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures. If you decide to undergo treatment with oral sedation, you must plan to have someone drive you home after your appointment.
IV sedation is administered directly into your bloodstream, providing a deeper level of sedation and allowing us to adjust the dosage as needed. You’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed, with little memory of the procedure. IV sedation is ideal for patients with severe anxiety or those requiring extensive treatment.
Whatever your anxiety level is, we have an option for you.

It depends on the type of sedation. With nitrous oxide and oral sedation, you’ll be awake but deeply relaxed. IV sedation allows for a more profound state of relaxation, with many patients feeling as though they slept through the procedure.
Nitrous oxide wears off almost immediately after the mask is removed. Oral and IV sedation may leave you feeling drowsy for a few hours, so plan to rest and have someone drive you home after your appointment.
Sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or those needing longer or multiple procedures in one visit.
For oral or IV sedation, yes—you’ll need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for a few hours. For nitrous oxide, no driver is needed; the effects wear off within minutes.
Most patients describe sedation as feeling relaxed, calm, and detached from their surroundings. You may feel drowsy or light, and time often feels like it passes quickly.
Sedation helps you feel deeply relaxed, and we also use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. Most patients feel little to no discomfort throughout the procedure.
