Everything went great today for her surgery but I do have some feedback about other things. My daughter was scheduled to be put to sleep to undergo a root canal. They ended up needing more anthesia which I was willing to pay for. Surgery was supposed to be an hour (I was told this before they started), and it ended up being 2 hours because of some minor complications. Noone came to the lobby to inform us. When it was over, I asked to see her. They said I had to pay first. I just paid almost 5k and they were more worried about an additional $300 before allowing me to see my daughter? This didn't sit right. I didn't say anything. I paid the bill and went to see my daughter. Dr. Hoffman is the nicest man I have ever met! He was outstanding.
Also, in the weeks before her surgery, the office appeared to not communicate. I would receive a call saying one thing then someone else would say another. They were never on the same page.
Last week, they needed to speak with me to confirm a few things. They called me at 8:16am then again at 1:06pm. Leaving me a voicemail that if they do not hear from me they were going to cancel her surgery. Wow! I work. I work 8am-5pm. I do not have access to my phone during those hours. They did leave a voicemail and I would have called the next day but they did not give me a chance before sending me an email threatening to cancel.
Also, they had called me several weeks before to inform me I had no insurance. I called my insurance company and they said I did. Not sure what happened but it resulted in unnecessary phone calls during my only free 20 minutes at work.
If your appointment is at 10am, do not plan on seeing anyone for awhile. All our appointments ran an hour behind.
I think Dr. Hoffman is wonderful but the office staff needs some help.
Not friendly at all. Noone even smiled!
The nurses in the room with my daughter were great too.
I went to nervous and 3 to 4 hours later, I essentially woke up in the car on my way home without realizing anything had happened. If you have trauma with previous dental issues, this is the place. I have a had severe dental trauma my entire life. Until now, they are all fantastic.

Our experience was wonderful. Our Down’s Syndrome son is very apprehensive about his appointments, but Dr. Thoms and all of his staff made our son more compliant. Each member seems vested in their job and are so kind and caring. Thank you for a positive experience.

What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. It mainly benefits those with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, or complex dental needs (Mayo Clinic).
Types of Sedation Used to Eliminate Discomfort
Nitrous Oxide: Known as laughing gas, it reduces anxiety and pain perception while keeping the patient conscious (WebMD).
Oral Sedation: A prescribed pill taken before the procedure to induce a deep state of relaxation (Healthline).
IV Sedation: Delivered through a vein for immediate effects, providing deep relaxation and minimal memory of the procedure (Colgate).
General Anesthesia: Puts the patient into a deep sleep, eliminating pain and discomfort during the procedure (American Dental Association).
How Sedation Helps During Dental Procedures
Sedation dentistry minimizes discomfort by reducing pain perception and relaxing muscles, making procedures smoother for patients and dentists. It is beneficial during lengthy treatments, such as root canals or oral surgeries (Cleveland Clinic).
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Pain-Free Experience: Sedation blocks pain signals to the brain, ensuring a comfortable procedure (MouthHealthy by ADA).
Reduced Anxiety: Patients remain calm and stress-free, which is crucial for those with dental phobia (Dental Fear Central).
Time Efficiency: Sedation allows dentists to perform multiple procedures in one visit, reducing the need for various appointments (Healthline).
Better Dental Outcomes: Patients are more likely to seek regular dental care when sedation is an option, improving long-term oral health (Mayo Clinic).
Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?
Patients with severe anxiety, low pain tolerance, or extensive dental needs may benefit greatly from sedation dentistry. Consulting with a qualified dentist helps determine the best sedation method for individual needs (Cleveland Clinic).
