Operating Room Treatment (at local out-patient surgical centers)

Sometimes, when it is impossible or impractical to restore your child's teeth in the dental office we will recommend they be treated at an outpatient surgical facility. The dental work is done in the operating room with an anesthesiologist present. We make the decision for hospital dentistry from a clinical and behavioral diagnosis. This type of procedure is utilized only when it is necessary to treat dental disease, to alleviate dental pain and to properly insure behavioral management.

Our surgical coordinator will guide you through the necessary paperwork and schedule an outpatient procedure.
