Who needs Anesthesia Services for Dentistry?

General anesthesia and sedation services are commonly used to facilitate dental treatment in patients of all ages with anxiety or challenging behaviors. An increasing number of people are depending on anesthesia for their dental treatment.

Among many more, these are just a few circumstances in which anesthesia can be beneficial for both the patient and dentist:

Children or Adults unable to sit or cooperate, for any reason, to safely receive dental treatment
Fear or anxiety towards dental treatments
Complex treatment plans or procedures
Physical or mental disabilities
Previous traumatic dental experiences
Limited time for multiple dental visits
Patients with sensitive gag reflexes
Low pain threshold
Co-existing medical issues

Please note, Office-Based Anesthesia may not be suitable for everyone. We always start with a preoperative assessment and interview to obtain all necessary medical information. We may need to communicate with a patients' primary care or specialty physicians to obtain further information including indicated labs, tests, results and medical consults to ensure that each patient is medically suited for anesthesia in an office environment.

Your Safety is our Priority

The team at Specialty Anesthesia Partners, PLLC delivers sophisticated anesthesia care during the entire Perioperative period so that you can receive your needed Dental Care from YOUR Surgeon or Dentist.

But, the most important part of the team is YOU. Research shows that patients who take part in decisions about their health care are more likely to have better outcomes!

We look forward to working closely with you throughout the perioperative period, including:

Discussing your unique medical history
Providing pre-operative directives (medications you should and should not take, fasting instructions, escort requirements, etc)
Discussing the anesthetic plan and anesthetic procedures and their risks (induction method, type of anesthesia, route of administration, etc.)
Providing post-anesthesia care instructions (what to eat and drink, what pain relieving medication to take, etc.)

Payment and Fees

Specialty Anesthesia Partners will provide a detailed description of fees and payment terms prior to your procedure. Coverage varies widely among medical and dental insurance plans. However, the primary responsibility for payment rests with the patient. Cash, checks, and all major credit cards are currently accepted.

If needed, we will help connect you with third-party financing options so you can get the care you need.

A non-refundable deposit may be required to hold the appointment. This will go toward the final anesthesia fee. For more information on payment and fees, please see the Financial Policies form or contact our office.
