Comfortable, Judgment-Free Dentistry for Patients with Anxiety, Special Needs, or Medical Complexities

For individuals who struggle with dental anxiety, have special healthcare needs, or require complex care under sedation, we offer a safe and supportive environment where treatment is tailored to the individual, not the other way around.

Whether it’s your child with autism, an elderly parent with health challenges, or a personal history of dental trauma, we’re here to help you receive the care you deserve.

Sedation Options for St. Charles Patients

We are one of the only dental offices in the region offering all four types of dental sedation, including:

• Nitrous Oxide Sedation – Ideal for mild anxiety and routine procedures
• Oral Conscious Sedation – Great for moderate fear or longer appointments
• IV Sedation – Deep relaxation for patients with higher levels of anxiety or multiple procedures
• General Anesthesia – Administered by licensed anesthesiologists for patients who require full unconscious sedation

Patients from St. Charles and surrounding areas, such as Cottleville, St. Peters, and Weldon Spring, trust us for safe, effective sedation options not commonly found in general dental practices.

Whitney S.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Dental Anesthesia Center and Dr. Thoms. My 7-year-old, who has autism, recently had dental work done here and the experience exceeded expectations. The staff was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding of his needs. They took the time to make him and us feel comfortable, never rushed, and explained everything. I am so grateful for this office and the team that made my son's dental care possible. I would recommend The Dental Anesthesia Center and Dr Thoms to any parent, especially those with children who have special needs. They truly go above and beyond. ❤️

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words! We’re truly grateful for your trust in our team and Dr. Thoms. Knowing your visit was a positive and comfortable experience means the world to us — it’s exactly what we strive for with every patient and family. 💙

My son has been a patient of Dr Michael Hoffman since he was 5 years old. He is now 21 years old. My son has diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and therefore I am cautious of who I select as a treatment provider. Dr. Hoffman’s office is professional, kind and I know they have his best interest at heart. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman and staff to anyone seeking dental care.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! We truly appreciate your trust in our team over the years.

Nancy S.

We are forever grateful for Dr Hoffman and his wonderful staff for having the vision of how to get necessary dental work done for patients who are dealing with autism and cannot tolerate it without dental anesthesia. We have been taking our adult daughter there once a year for the last four years. Thanks to Dr Hoffman’s vast knowledge and expertise, our daughter has been able to get wisdom teeth removed, cavities filled, teeth cleaned and detailed X-rays to know exactly what needed done. The Dental Anesthesia Center is a great service to the community. Thank you so much for helping us.

Response from the owner:hank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words about our team! We truly appreciate your trust in us and are honored to provide care in a way that helps make dental treatment more comfortable and accessible for all patients. Your feedback means a great deal to our entire staff.
