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:
