All of the staff have been extremely incredible. Dr. Thoms was amazing & really helped calm me before my procedure. Dr. Thoms answered any & all questions I have had & was extremely understanding when it comes to having dental anxiety. Robyn was the best X-ray technician I have ever had. She felt personable but still extremely professional. Throughout my life I have been to numerous dentists in hopes of finding one that will take my extreme dental anxiety seriously & not make me feel bad for it. I have finally found my favorite dentist. The Dental Anesthesia Center is my #1 pick if I had to chose any dentist.

I started seeing this practice as a scared middle age woman that thought she was quickly on the way to being toothless. Years later now, still working with the amazing Dr Behl and her amazing staff, I have been able to continue with my present teeth. Alway kind, full of grace, mercy and humor!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re honored to be part of your dental journey and appreciate your kind words about Dr. Behl and our team.
We have been taking our son to Dental Anesthesia since 2019. He gets his dental treatment and blood work done at the same time. We find the staff and Dr. Thoms highly professional. They communicate well and provide excellent treatment/services. Getting blood work done during sedation helps us a lot.

This was my first time coming to the Dental Anesthesia Center, recommended by my sister whose special needs son has seen Dr. Hoffmann for years. I have a very difficult jaw condition resulting from a car accident and Dr. Hoffmann made me feel so immediately at ease that I’ve scheduled some extensive dental work to be done later this summer. I also loved my nurse, Ashley, who was so attentive, sweet and knowledgeable. She made me feel not as an anomaly, but valued and validated, and I hope she will be with me during my upcoming surgery. Thank you, Dr. Hoffmann and Ashley, for welcoming me to your practice!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and for trusting our team. We’re honored to provide a welcoming, compassionate experience and will be sure to share your compliments with Dr. Hoffmann, Ashley, and the rest of our staff. We appreciate your support!
Reduces Dental Anxiety and Fear
Dental anxiety is common among elderly patients, particularly those who have had negative experiences in the past. Sedation dentistry helps alleviate these fears, allowing seniors to undergo treatments without stress or anxiety. [Cleveland Clinic]
Provides Comfort for Patients with Medical Conditions
Many elderly patients have medical conditions such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, or dementia that make sitting still for extended periods challenging. Sedation ensures comfort and minimizes discomfort during dental procedures. [Mayo Clinic]
Facilitates Complex Dental Procedures
Elderly patients often require extensive dental work, including dentures, implants, and gum treatments. Sedation allows for multiple procedures to be completed in a single visit, reducing the need for repeated appointments. [WebMD]
Enhances Safety and Reduces Pain
Sedation dentistry minimizes pain and ensures patient safety by reducing involuntary movements. This is especially important for seniors with limited mobility or cognitive impairments. [American Dental Association]
Encourages Regular Dental Visits
For many seniors, the fear of discomfort or pain can lead to avoiding dental visits altogether. Sedation dentistry encourages regular check-ups by providing a pain-free and anxiety-free experience, promoting better oral health. [Healthline]
