For parents & patients
Safe anesthesia at the dentist your family already knows.
Your dentist works with our team so your child, or you, can be treated comfortably without a trip to the hospital. An anesthesiologist and a paramedic stay with the patient the entire time.
Is anesthesia right for us?
Who we care for
Your dentist will recommend anesthesia when it's the safest, most comfortable way to finish treatment. That often includes:
Young children
Kids who are too young to sit still for treatment, or who need a lot of work done at once.
Patients with special needs
Patients who need a calmer, more controlled experience to get dental care safely.
Young children
Kids who are too young to sit still for treatment, or who need a lot of work done at once.
Dental anxiety or long procedures
Teens and adults with strong anxiety, or treatment that would take several visits while awake.
