Welcome

In-office Anesthesiology is ideal for:

The decision to undergo IV Sedation will allow you to painlessly and safely receive dental treatment. New medications and the sole dedication of a dentist anesthesiologist has allowed dental anesthesia to become safer than ever before.

One of the wonderful aspects of IV Sedation is it's ability to be customized to the specific desires of both the patient and the treating dentist. You may be awake and relaxed or sedated and dreaming of your favorite vacation.

Having a dentist anesthesiologist solely dedicated to the anesthesia allows for greater safety. The treating dentist will be relieved of the responsibilities of the anesthesia and will be able to focus on the dental procedures. In most cases, multiple visits may be condensed into a single appointment.

Forms that are necessary for your safest possible treatment can be found on our Patient Area. Please read them carefully and answer all questions to the best of your ability. Please follow all recommended guidelines carefully. The safety of the patient is paramount.

I will contact you prior to the dental appointment to ask certain medical questions and answer any questions you may have.
