Hospital Dentistry

Specialized Dental Care for Kids in a Comfortable Hospital Setting

Our office is happy to be one of the only providers in the area capable of offering dental services under general anesthesia through our partnerships with Piedmont Newnan Hospital and Tanner Health System.

​Whether your child is extremely anxious, requires a large amount of dental treatment, or both, we are able to provide care in a predictable, safe, controlled setting.

What is Hospital Dentistry?

Hospital dentistry means that your child’s dental procedures are performed in a hospital or outpatient surgical center. This allows for:

  • Comprehensive dental care under general anesthesia or sedation

  • Continuous monitoring by a specialized medical team

  • A comfortable, stress-free experience for children who might not tolerate dental treatment in a regular office setting

Who Benefits from Hospital Dentistry?

Hospital dentistry is recommended for children who:

  • Have significant medical, developmental, or behavioral challenges

  • Require extensive dental work that cannot be completed safely in a typical dental office

  • Need dental treatment under general anesthesia for their comfort and safety

  • Have a strong fear or anxiety about dental visits that makes treatment difficult

What to Expect During Your Child’s Hospital Dentistry Visit

  • Pre-Procedure Consultation: We’ll review your child’s health history and discuss the treatment plan to ensure the hospital setting is the best option.

  • Day of Treatment: Our caring team coordinates with the hospital staff to provide gentle anesthesia and expert dental care while your child is closely monitored.

  • Post-Procedure Care: After treatment, your child will recover comfortably in the hospital, and we’ll provide detailed instructions for home care and follow-up visits.
