Detailed Introduction

The Dental Anesthesia Center: Sedation and Sleep Dentistry, located at 950 Francis Pl #305, Clayton, MO 63105, is a state-of-the-art dental facility dedicated to providing a comfortable and anxiety-free dental experience for a wide range of patients. This clinic specializes in sedation and sleep dentistry, offering various levels of anesthesia from minimal sedation (nitrous oxide) to deep sedation and general anesthesia. This makes them a unique resource in the St. Louis area, especially for individuals who typically struggle with dental visits. The center serves patients with moderate to severe dental phobia, low pain thresholds, sensitive gag reflexes, and those in need of extensive treatment that might otherwise require multiple appointments. They are particularly well-regarded for their expertise in treating young children and individuals with physical or mental disabilities, including those with autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy, who may find traditional dental settings challenging. The team at The Dental Anesthesia Center includes board-certified dental anesthesiologists, like Dr. Michael J. Hoffmann and Dr. Sean M. Thoms, who are among the few in Missouri qualified to administer deep sedation and general anesthesia in a dental office setting. They also have dentists who provide oral sedation and non-sedation services, such as Dr. Behl. This ensures that patients have a choice in their level of comfort and the method of sedation that best suits their needs and medical history. Beyond sedation, the clinic offers a full spectrum of general dentistry services, including fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, gum therapy, dental implants, veneers, teeth whitening, and more. Their approach focuses on combining cutting-edge dental technology with compassionate patient care, striving to build lifelong relationships with their patients by prioritizing their comfort and well-being. Many patients have lauded the center for transforming their perception of dental visits, allowing them to receive necessary care without fear or pain.

Our son, Jimmy Henderson , has been having all of his dental care done by Dr. Michael Hoffmann and his team at the Dental Anesthesia Center for the past 10 years. He goes there once a year and they put him to sleep, clean his teeth, take x-rays and fix anything that needs to be repaired. They are such a blessing for us and our son.

He couldn’t tolerate a regular dentist. We heartily recommend them for your dental care. Terry & Debbie Henderson

I went to DAC because I have a hearing impairment which makes the sounds of dental work incredibly painful. (Bone conduction) Because of this, I had not been to the dentist in years. Being able to go to sleep and have all my dental work done while I was out was incredible! I had a tooth extracted, a root canal, 4 fillings and a cleaning all at the same visit! The staff was so caring and understanding, it made me feel really good.

I will only go here for my dental work from now on.

Seeing Dr Hoffman at the Dental Anesthesia Center has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Dr Hoffman and all of his staff, the other dentists, the dental assistants and the front desk personnel are the absolute best. Everyone I’ve encountered in the office have been so kind, patient, professional and compassionate.

I will always have a degree of dental anxiety, but everyone shows such compassion and understanding, that it really helps make you feel less anxious.

I became a patient of Dr. Hoffman when he was the only dentist and the office was much smaller. I needed a dentist who could safely sedate me when I had dental work done. I've seen the practice grow into the The Dental Anesthesia Center. Dr. Hoffmann, Dr. Thoms, and Dr. Behl can fix any problem with your teeth without being you being anxious.

The Dental Hygienists have a special skill of making sure you are calm while sitting in their chair. The office staff do a fabulous job of running the office smoothly. Continuing education is very important in the practice. I like how much everyone on the staff work together to make sure you visit is the best part of your day. The staff participates in several find raising events for local charities. There isn't a better Dentist in St. Louis.
