How it works
Your Path to a Stress-Free Smile
You wake up feeling rested, with your dental work completely finished and little to no memory of the procedure itself. We will ensure you are feeling great before a trusted friend or family member drives you home.

The “No Pressure” Consultation
Your first step is simply a conversation. We will sit down in a comfortable, non-intimidating environment to discuss your dental health, your past experiences, and your specific anxieties. We listen first, so we can build a plan tailored exactly to your comfort.

Choosing Your Sedation
Together, we will decide on the best approach for your needs. Depending on your anxiety level and the amount of work needed, we offer gentle nitrous oxide, calming oral sedation, or IV moderate conscious to general anesthesia for complete peace of mind.

A Focus on Your Safety
Your well-being is our top priority. Depending on the level of sedation you choose, we may request a routine medical clearance from your primary physician. This is a simple, standard step to ensure your body is fully prepared and that you are in the safest possible hands.

The Treatment Day
You arrive, and our caring team ensures you are completely relaxed and settled. Once your sedation takes effect, you will rest peacefully. While you are resting, we complete all necessary treatments—whether it is a simple filling, wisdom teeth removal, or full arch implants.
Sedation Options



IV Sedation & General Anesthesia (Deep, Peaceful Sleep)
To ensure the highest standard of safety, we partner with professional Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) who specialize exclusively in the outpatient dental care setting. By bringing these experts directly into our office, we provide you with hospital-level safety and monitoring within the warm, familiar environment of our practice.

Hear What Our Patients Are Saying
Here’s what people are saying about the process and our amazing team:

I just want to say that their team are 90 point people. In all my days have I ever met a more caring kind group of people in my life. They literally changed my life. They have given my life back to me. Kristen is a total rock star and Dr. Dave is one of the gentlest people I have ever met. I would recommend them every day of the week. Thank you guys for everything. By the way Amanda is pretty cool too.

Can I give more than 5 stars? Dr Dave is incredible. His professionalism is top tier and makes you feel at ease the moment you arrive. I am new to town and had a restoration get knocked out late one evening big. With my work schedule it was really hard to book and the office was very accommodating taking me first thing the next morning allowing me to not have to miss any work! They were all so kind and I will be back for my regular cleanings as well as any work needed in the future.

These guys!!
I cannot say enough good things about them.
They are the kindest most genuine group of humans. My experience over the last year has been such a healing journey, not just for my mouth but my soul.
Like most humans I have had a horrific and traumatizing experience with dentists and their staff, military and mainstream.
This amazing group of people, including the anesthesiologist, were so kind and gentle and I will never go to another dental team!
Thank you Doc Dodrill and team, you all know who you are! You guys have given me such a higher quality of life!
