Fear-Free Dentistry — Sedation Up to Fully Asleep

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO’VE BEEN AVOIDING THIS PAGE

Haven’t seen a dentist in years? Good news: you’re our specialty, not our judgment.

Read this part first: nobody here will lecture you, shame you, or gasp at your X-rays. A huge share of our patients waited five, ten, twenty years — not because of money, but because of dread. We built an entire center around that fact: sedation from calming laughing gas to IV twilight to fully asleep with a licensed anesthesiologist, in a practice where “Sedation” is literally half the name. Your mouth is not the worst we’ve seen. We promise.

How this works when fear is the main symptom

Step one involves zero treatment. A conversation and a painless 3D scan — no drill, no cleaning, no commitment. Tell us you’re anxious when you book (texting counts) and we plan around it from the first hello. Step two, you choose your depth. Nitrous plumbed into every room, oral sedation, IV sedation from Dr. Oestervemb (certified since 2010 — most patients remember essentially nothing), or true general anesthesia: asleep when it starts, done when you wake. Step three, the years of dread compress into one calm visit. The sentence we hear most, from the most terrified patients: “That was nothing like I feared.”

Why the avoiders come here specifically

Because half-measures don’t fix phobia. Very few offices in the region offer anesthesiologist-administered sleep dentistry; we do, in-center, at a published price — alongside published implant pricing ($3,500–$5,500 per complete single tooth; $20,000–$32,000 per complete fixed arch), monthly financing through four lenders, and one doctor handling everything from scan to final teeth. Double board-certified (ABOI/ID + ABGD), and the dentist other dentists train under. If it’s been years, things in there may be simpler to fix than the dread suggests — and if it’s complicated, you found the right building for complicated.

Can I really be asleep for everything?

Yes — general anesthesia with a licensed anesthesiologist is available right here for treatment visits. The consult itself needs nothing: it’s a chat and a scan.

What if I’m embarrassed by how it looks in there?

You’d be describing most of our favorite patients on their first visit. Zero judgment is an actual policy here, and the “after” photos start with mouths like yours.
