We Specialize in Dental Anesthesia for Children and Adults
Sleep Dentistry
We at Limelight sedation believe that a medical doctor that attended 4 years of medical school is the most qualified person to anesthetize you or your loved one. The difference lies in the training. We have not only seen the complications that can arise but know how to avoid and solve them if they should occur. There is no short 1 or 2 year course that will give you the experience necessary to see the clinical scenarios to make you a competent anesthesia practitioner.
This provides a few things for the dentist and patient:
• Comfortable dental experience with little to no memory of the events
• Decreased discomfort afterwards since stronger medications can be used
• Reduced procedure time since dentist can work more efficiently
