Patients put their utmost trust in me. Everyday I treat my patients with the same level of safety and quality as I would to those most cherished in my life.
We administer an individually tailored anesthetic with safety and comfort in mind. A patient’s vitals, depth of anesthesia, and their response are monitored throughout the duration of the procedure. Our team is fully outfitted with emergency medication and equipment in preparation for every situation.
Anesthesia may be necessary to facilitate dental procedures for an array of reasons. Complex or invasive dental procedures, dental phobia, impairments or disabilities, and pediatric age are only some. When indicated, general anesthesia creates a safe, comfortable environment.
In certain instances, general anesthesia is not indicated. This can be due to the type of procedure, complex medical condition(s), or patient choice. In these scenarios, and when some level of anesthesia is needed or desired, IV sedation can be deployed to deliver anti-anxiety medications to keep the patient relaxed, comfortable, and safe. This will result in a “twilight state” while still maintaining consciousness.
Dr. Lenz, in consultation with the patient and the dental surgeon, will determine the proper level of anesthesia. We will be in touch prior to your appointment to get to know you, answer all questions, and decide what type of anesthesia will work best in your case.
