Center for Dental Anesthesia

The Center for Dental Anesthesia, located at 5284 Dawes Ave, Alexandria, VA 22311, is a dedicated dental clinic providing comprehensive dental care with a unique specialization in comfort dentistry and sedation. Their primary goal is to make dental visits stress-free and accessible for all patients, particularly those who experience dental anxiety, phobia, or have special needs, physical limitations, or complex medical conditions that make traditional dental appointments challenging. The clinic offers a wide array of dental services, including general, family, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. Their general dentistry services cover routine check-ups and cleanings. For cosmetic needs, they provide treatments such as teeth whitening, dental crowns, tooth veneers, and Invisalign clear aligners. Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth, including bridges, dentures, and dental implants. What truly sets the Center for Dental Anesthesia apart is their extensive range of sedation options. They offer: Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide): A mild inhaled sedative for those with light anxiety. Oral Conscious Sedation: Patients take a prescribed pill to induce a state of deep relaxation, remaining awake but with little to no memory of the procedure. IV Sedation: Administered intravenously, this option provides immediate and deeper relaxation, ideal for patients who require more profound comfort or have longer procedures. General Anesthesia: For those who need to be fully unconscious during treatment, ensuring no awareness or discomfort during complex or lengthy procedures. The team, including experienced dentists like Dr. Zeyad Mady and Dr. James Geren, emphasizes a patient-first approach. They strive to create a warm, calming atmosphere with amenities such as private dental suites, custom chair pads, neck pillows, warm blankets, in-room TVs, and a hospitality bar. They also provide initial consultations in non-dental rooms to ease new patients into the environment and offer personalized care plans. The clinic prides itself on accommodating patients who have difficulty getting numb, strong gag reflexes, or need extensive dental work completed in a single visit. They also work with various insurance providers and offer financing options like CareCredit to ensure accessibility to their services.
