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.

Ken C.

I want to thank everyone at the Dental Anesthesia Center for taking care of me yesterday—Meaghan helped me get the forms filled out correctly and in on time, Daisy for guiding me in and getting me out safely, Dr. Hoffman for taking care of my teeth and dealing with my really terrible gag reflex, and EVERYONE who helps make this happen. I don't know all of your names, but I do know that it takes all of you working together to make my dental care possible and have good results.

I'm always nervous when I first arrive, even though every procedure has had a good outcome. I've never had any pain or excessive bleeding as a result. The one thing I realized yesterday is that all of you are warm, friendly, positive, you have what is called a good vibe, which helps me a great deal.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so glad our team could help you feel comfortable and supported throughout your visit. Providing a safe, positive environment is very important to us, and your feedback means a great deal. We truly appreciate your trust in our care!

Dr Mike Hoffman is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. His whole practice focuses on the patient’s needs. He is the consumate professional with expertise across the dental spectrum and in anesthesia. I highly recommend him and his practice.

Yes, my grandson has nonverbal autism and they took very good care of him.. He had to have some extra extractions which I was concerned about, but everything went very well. Very happy and I thank you all for all the work you did.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. We’re so glad to hear you had a positive experience and that everything went smoothly. We truly appreciate your trust in us.

I took my son to an appointment today with Dr. Hoffman. We had a great experience from the time we arrived until we departed. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The dental assistants were very helpful and polite with my son. The doctor is very kind and patient. They explain everything as we went through the process. We were aware of the cost from the beginning to the end and we're allowed to make decisions about how to handle my child's care and not shocked with additional charges after the fact. My child does not resist going to this office. Great experience.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear your experience was positive from start to finish. Our team works hard to create a comfortable, transparent, and supportive environment for every patient and family. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback!
