In-Office General Anesthesia

For children who would benefit from being fully asleep for dental treatment, we are proud to offer general anesthesia in our private-practice surgery suites located in our Savage and Lakeville locations. This allows your child’s necessary dental care to be completed safely and comfortably in a familiar, child-focused environment.

In-office general anesthesia may be considered for children who are young, have significant dental anxiety, have special healthcare or developmental needs, or require extensive or complex dental treatment.

Benefits of In-Office General Anesthesia

Our surgery suites provide families with a comfortable and convenient alternative to receiving dental treatment in a hospital setting. Benefits include:

• A familiar, child-focused dental environment
• A dedicated anesthesia team experienced in caring for children
• The ability to complete necessary dental treatment while your child is fully asleep
• Close collaboration between your child’s pediatric dentist and anesthesia provider
• A streamlined experience focused specifically on your child’s dental care

We partner with Dr. Kari Cleland and the Dream Anesthesia team to provide general anesthesia in our surgery suites. Our pediatric dentists and anesthesia team work closely together throughout your child’s care, with safety as our #1 priority.

Your child’s pediatric dentist will determine whether in-office general anesthesia is an appropriate option based on their individual medical history, age and developmental level, and dental treatment needs.
