What is a Sedative Dentist? A dentist that sedates for routine and complex dental work. Our sedation dentist, Dr. Adams, administers full IV sedation and twilight anesthesia for all dental procedure. We are one of just a few dental anesthesiology offices that can do general and speciality dentistry while you sleep. We specialize in providing dental care for people who are too scared and anxious to receive dental care in a standard dental office. We also put people to sleep who have severe gag reflexes or who need a lot of work done during one long appointment. There are many different situations in which sedation dentistry is beneficial.
