Safe and Personalized Sedation Solutions​

At Wilhite Plano Dentist, we use sedation techniques that are both safe and customized to your specific health needs. Before any treatment, we conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical history and treatment plan to ensure that sedation is the right choice for you. Our experienced team is trained in the latest sedation techniques and will guide you through each step of the process to ensure a positive experience.

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.

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.

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.

Your Comfort Is Our Priority

Dr. David Wilhite has over 30 years of experience in providing compassionate dental care. Our team is dedicated to creating a calm, welcoming environment where your comfort is our top priority. We will discuss your sedation options and help you select the best method for your treatment. Throughout your procedure, we monitor your condition closely to ensure safety and relaxation.

Dr. Wilhite is amazing. I have gone to many dentists in my 40 years but none have helped me the way he has. He takes time to do things right and is knowledgeable about things you would think only your medical doctor would know about. If you want a truly healthy mouth, not just clean, Dr. Wilhite is the dentist to go to. I recommend him to everyone I know. Plus, his hygienists and staff are super friendly. I have been coming here for years and won't be changing until he retires!

Dr. Wilhite and his staff are amazing! They have taken care of my teeth (and my husband's) for over 10 years, and we wouldn't go anywhere else. His staff is extremely patient and courteous, and Dr. Wilhite always takes the time to explain both what he is doing and why. When I needed extensive dental work right after the birth of our daughter, Dr. Wilhite and his staff were extremely supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. As they do in all situations, they went the extra mile in that case to make sure that they coordinated with my doctor so that the medications they provided wouldn't cause negative side effects for me or our newborn. Dr. Wilhite and his team made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the entire experience, and I couldn't be more please with the way my smile turned out!

Dr. Wilhite and his wonderful staff have helped me and my family maintain the best possible dental health. For me, I finally decided to wear braces and get my bite corrected and, with a few needed maintenance procedures, can say that my teeth and gums have never been in better shape (at +60 years old, that is a blessing).We always feel like members of a family when we come in. The staff is so personal and welcoming. Good dental health is a journey. Dr. Wilhite and his staff are there for us ever step of the way.
