With oral sedation and nitrous oxide, you will remain conscious but deeply relaxed. You will be able to respond to instructions, though you may not remember much afterwards. If deep sedation is required, such as through IV, you will be in a sleep-like state under the supervision of an anaesthesiologist.

Let us help you choose the sedation level that matches your comfort. Speak with our Oakville team today.

Here is a quick comparison of the two options available at Smileworx Dental:

  • Oral Sedation: A pill taken about an hour before treatment; creates a drowsy, calm feeling.
  • Nitrous Oxide: Inhaled through a nose mask; provides quick, mild relaxation and wears off rapidly.

Need help deciding which is right for you? Contact us to discuss your sedation options.

With oral sedation, the effects may last for several hours, so you’ll need someone to drive you home. Nitrous oxide, on the other hand, wears off within minutes after treatment ends, allowing most patients to return to daily activities relatively quickly.

This depends on the type of sedation used. For nitrous oxide, eating a light meal a few hours before your appointment is generally fine. For oral sedation, we may recommend fasting for a few hours prior. Our team will provide personalised guidance tailored to your treatment plan.
