Patient Services
Have you or a loved one ever been in a situation where getting the necessary dental treatment is difficult, uncomfortable, or not possible for any reason? Dental anesthesia aims to solve this problem by transforming dental care into a smooth and comfortable experience.
Many patients can benefit from anesthesia
Our services can be helpful for patients of all types who struggle to receive proper dental care. This includes, but is not limited to:
Anxious Pediatric Patients
Children who are fearful of getting dental treatment can avoid the potential discomfort or trauma of traditional dentistry by undergoing in-office dental anesthesia. We ensure that each child is treated with the utmost care and empathy for their unique needs.
Phobic Patients
A variety of factors could contribute to a fear of dental procedures, regardless of age group. We are here to help phobic patients of all kinds approach the dentist not with apprehension, but with an expectation of ease and comfort.
Patients with a Gag Reflex or Issues with Numbing
Patients that experience a hyperactive gag reflex, difficulties with getting numb for dental work, or other inhibitions can bypass these difficulties by undergoing sedation for their dental care.
Patients Undergoing Extensive Dental Work
It is common that impactful and transformative dental work, such as all-on-x procedures, can entail extremely long expected treatment times. In order to mitigate discomfort during these cases, undergoing dental anesthesia can ensure that these treatments are performed comfortably and expeditiously.
Patients with Chronic Conditions
A variety of illnesses and conditions can make receiving dental care extremely difficult, uncomfortable, or impossible. Some patients that we commonly see under this category include those suffering from asthma, cardiac disease, hypertension, diabetes, and autism. If this applies to you or a loved one, the stress and difficulty of dental work can be significantly reduced by our anesthesia services.
Patients Undergoing Wisdom Teeth Extractions
While a rather common procedure, wisdom teeth extractions are often uncomfortable or painful when performed while awake. We offer anesthesia services specifically tailored to the age group and procedure length of those getting their wisdom teeth extracted, allowing for a quick and painless process.
Benefits of Dental Anesthesia
The positives of dental anesthesia extend beyond widening the scope of patients that can receive much-needed dental treatment.
Higher Quality Dental Work
If you or a loved one would have difficulty remaining still for the duration of the planned dental treatment, opting to receive dental anesthesia can ensure that your dentist is able to work more efficiently and with more precision. For many patients, this can translate to higher-quality and longer-lasting dental work.
Avoid Hospital Inconveniences
For our target patient demographic, the alternative to in-office anesthesia is usually undergoing anesthesia at their local hospital. However, this can present a litany of challenges including significantly higher costs, extended waiting times, and multiple unplanned rescheduling instances. With our services, our fully trained anesthesia team comes right to your dentist’s office, ensuring that treatment is both efficient and safe.
Remain at Your Dentist’s Office
By avoiding a referral to a surgery center or hospital, you can undergo treatment in the same familiar environment that you or your loved one is already accustomed to. This can be especially helpful for phobic or neurodivergent patients, but presents an improvement in comfort and ease for all patients.

Following your appointment, the status of you or your child will be checked on, as well as an opportunity to voice any feedback of any kind.

Although in-office anesthesia is extremely safe, we actively enforce rigorous adherence to all necessary safety protocols. This includes each provider’s fully stocked battery of safety equipment, continual re-education of emergency protocols, and in-office staff training–all to minimize any risk of any medical incidents.
Our clinical staff, composed of both providers and assistants, have obtained and continuously renewed certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Life Support (BLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
