Coping with a dental phobia is not something you have to face alone. With dental anesthesia, you can say goodbye to all fear and feel completely at ease during your appointment.
Dental Anesthesia provides a safe and effective way for patients to receive the treatment they need. We compassionately care for all patients who may require extra support or accommodations.
For patients who experience difficulty getting numb, with anesthesia services, achieving complete pain control is possible.
Patients with a strong gag reflex are excellent candidates for dental anesthesia, and we have options for you! The use of topical numbing liquids is one great way to suppress the sensation of gagging, but if that’s not for you, intravenous sedation is a guaranteed alternative.
In the interest of lightening one’s schedule, dental anesthesia provides convenience and practicality. For patients with a lengthy treatment plan, scheduling an appointment with anesthesia care will significantly reduce your total number of office visits- many times to just one!
The following rules are EXTREMELY important for patient safety. If the diet restrictions are not followed, you are required to notify the dentist anesthesiologist and your appointment may be rescheduled.
No eating or drinking for 8 hours before the procedure.
Exception- You are allowed to have water, CLEAR juice (no pulp) and BLACK coffee (no milk, no cream, etc.) until 2 hours before the procedure.

Yes, anesthesia in the dental office is safe. There are NOT higher risks associated with anesthesia in a dental office compared to a hospital. The risks are the same and the risks are low when preoperative instructions and fasting instructions are followed. Additionally, all monitoring equipment and medications used are exactly the same as what is being used in hospitals.
