Who it's for
Is sedation right for you?
For anxious patients
If dental anxiety has kept you away — even for years — sedation lets you get the care you need while you're completely relaxed or asleep. Many of our patients haven't been to a dentist in a long time. You're not alone, and there's no judgment here.
For larger procedures
Facing multiple extractions, implants, or extensive work? Sedation lets us complete more in a single comfortable visit, so you're not making trip after trip.

Care from a board-certified dental anesthesiologist
Dr. Jason L. Joseph
Board-Certified Dental Anesthesiologist

Joseph of Ambulatory Dental Anesthesia of New York — a board-certified dental anesthesiologist who comes to our office with his own team and equipment to administer and monitor your sedation.

His focus is safety: his team is trained in advanced pediatric and adult life support (ACLS/PALS), uses the latest monitoring equipment, and tailors the anesthesia to each patient — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
