We specialize in helping patients with dental anxiety, medical conditions, and extreme sensitivity—using safe and effective sedation dentistry.
Do you dread dental visits because your teeth are just too sensitive? You’re not alone. For many patients, the simple act of opening their mouth for a cleaning or exam can trigger intense discomfort. Whether it’s the cold air, dental tools, or just the thought of being touched in a sensitive area, tooth sensitivity can make dental care feel impossible.
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. ❤️

Very patient with elderly patients. Very good experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re pleased to know the visit was a positive experience.
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.
Super experience. Gentle and empathetic. All round care is great. Staff are wonderful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you had a great experience with our team.
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.
What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity can result from several common issues:
- Enamel erosion from acidic foods or brushing too hard
- Receding gums that expose sensitive root surfaces
- Tooth decay or cracks
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Recent dental work, like whitening or fillings
Even routine cleanings can feel painful if your teeth or gums are inflamed.
Why Sedation Dentistry Makes a Difference
If you’ve avoided the dentist due to sensitivity, it may feel like a never-ending cycle: your discomfort keeps you away, but skipping care only makes the problem worse. That’s where sedation dentistry comes in.
At The Dental Anesthesia Center, we offer several sedation options:
- Mild Sedation – Helps you relax while staying awake
- Moderate Sedation – You’ll remain conscious but may not remember much
- Deep Sedation or General Anesthesia – For those who need complete sleep during procedures
Our board-certified anesthesia team ensures every patient receives the level of care they need, safely and comfortably.
Who Can Benefit?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for:

At your first appointment, we’ll talk through your dental history, sensitivity concerns, and any previous negative experiences. Our team is trained to listen without judgment.
We’ll then create a customized sedation plan so you can get the care you need—without pain or fear.
