Why not the Hospital?It greatly increases procedure cost.
Facility fees are hundreds to thousands of dollars. Hospital anesthesia is expensive. Hospital cases take longer and patients are charged by the minute. As out of pocket costs go up, so do patient cancellations. You will be operating in an unfamiliar setting with temporary staff. Surgical time is longer. Patient recovery time is longer. Slow operating room turnover wastes everyone's time. There is a greater risk of complications. Anesthesiologists may cover up to 4 cases at once. Divided attention can lead to mistakes. They may cover both adults and children. Staff may not be pediatric specialists. They may leave your patient in the OR with a nurse. Hospital setting increases the risk of an antibiotic resistant infection. Scheduling is challenging and the hospital often runs behind. |

What about a Surgery Center?
Surgery centers are Hospital-Lite.
They are still very costly. Facility fees can be hundreds to thousands of dollars. Travel time is wasted time for you and your practice.
Rarely are such centers specialized in dentistry and dental anesthesia.
Services offered often range from orthopedics to plastic surgery. You compete for OR time and surgery center attention with these other providers. Surgeons who bring more cases get to dictate the schedule and staffing.
Surgery centers survive on volume.
Anesthesiologist may have to cover up to 4 cases at once, and their divided attention can lead to mistakes. The care team may be covering both adults and children simultaneously. Team members may not all specialize in pediatrics.
You are still operating in an unfamiliar setting, with temporary staff, similar to the hospital operating room.

What is Office Based General Anesthesia?
|
There are many options for preventing and treating pain during dental procedures. These range from local numbing medications like Lidocaine, to oral sedatives such as Valium, to inhaled drugs like Nitrous Oxide. Many of these are safely administered by dentists, but are not be suitable for all patients. For more comprehensive pain prevention, to ensure complete patient cooperation, or for safe treatment of a young child, more is needed. We are medical doctors specialized in putting children to sleep for surgical procedures, especially in the office setting.
