Sedation Dentistry

I wanted to personally share something that means a lot to me.

Over the years, I’ve met so many patients who genuinely want to take care of their teeth—but anxiety, fear, or past experiences have held them back. I see it all the time, and it’s something I take to heart. No one should feel uncomfortable or afraid when it comes to their health.

That’s why I’m really proud to say that we now offer sedation dentistry at our practice.

We’ve welcomed Dr. Joshua Frenkel to our team—an MD anesthesiologist who allows us to safely and comfortably sedate patients when needed. But more importantly, we made a very intentional decision to take this to the highest level of safety. Bringing in a medical doctor anesthesiologist—someone who does this every single day in hospital and surgical settings—means your care is being managed with the same level of attention, training, and precision you would expect anywhere in medicine.

Dr. Frenkel trained at New York Medical College and completed his residency and fellowship at the University of Chicago Medical Center. He is double board certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, and having him in our office gives me a tremendous sense of confidence knowing our patients are in the safest hands possible.

For me, this isn’t just about adding a service—it’s about removing a barrier. It’s about helping patients who have been avoiding treatment finally feel at ease enough to move forward. It’s about making dentistry feel different… calmer, more supportive, and more human.

If you’ve been putting off care because of fear or anxiety, I want you to know—we see you, we understand, and we’re here to help in a way that feels right for you.

As always, we’re committed to treating you like family and doing what we would want for our own loved ones.
