Dental anxiety, special needs, and complex treatment plans often prevent many in St. Louis from getting the oral care they need. At The Dental Anesthesia Center (DAC), we specialize in sleep dentistry—a gentle, patient-centered approach that helps people comfortably receive dental treatment. Located in the heart of St. Louis, DAC offers advanced sedation techniques that transform how you experience the dentist.
What Is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry—also known as sedation dentistry—uses medication to help patients relax or sleep during dental procedures. It is ideal for those with dental phobia, physical or cognitive disabilities, or extensive dental needs. At DAC, we offer:
- Oral Sedation
- IV Sedation
- General Anesthesia
Our team includes board-certified dental anesthesiologists who provide the highest level of safety and care, ensuring every patient receives personalized sedation in a monitored, hospital-grade setting.
