As a dentist, my primary goal is to ensure that every patient receives the highest quality of care in a comfortable and supportive environment. I understand that many people experience anxiety when it comes to dental visits. That’s why I am proud to offer general anesthesia for patients who need a little extra help to feel at ease during their treatment.

General anesthesia can be an excellent option for various reasons, including:

1. Anxiety and Fear: For patients who experience significant anxiety about dental procedures, general anesthesia allows them to undergo necessary treatments without the stress and fear associated with being awake and aware.

2. Lengthy or Complex Procedures: Some dental treatments can be quite extensive. General anesthesia ensures that patients remain comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process, promoting a smoother experience for both the patient and the dental team.

3. Special Needs Patients: Individuals with special needs may benefit greatly from receiving dental care under general anesthesia. This approach allows us to provide the necessary treatment while minimizing discomfort and distress.

Patients are required to pay for anesthesia directly to our surgery center. The total cost of the procedure is upfront. After the procedure, we will submit the claim to your insurance company. If you receive any reimbursement, that is completely fine. Our focus is on providing you with the care you need without added financial stress.

Remember, dental health is crucial to your overall well-being. Don’t let fear or discomfort keep you from receiving the care you need. With general anesthesia, we can help ensure that your dental experience is safe, effective and as pleasant as possible.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or to schedule a consultation.

We’re here to help you smile with confidence!
