Maryland Sedation Dentist

Maryland Sedation Dentist, located at 2918 Spencerville Rd #124, Burtonsville, MD 20866, is a dedicated dental clinic specializing in sedation dentistry. The practice is led by Dr. Gary Adams, a highly experienced and certified sedation dentist in Maryland. Dr. Adams received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Maryland Dental School in 2001 and completed advanced training in IV sedation at Duquesne University, holding certification from the Maryland Board of Dental Examiners. He is also a holistic dentist by philosophy, emphasizing safe and responsible dental practices, including the use of all-natural, fluoride-free products and safe mercury amalgam filling removal protocols (IAOMT). Maryland Sedation Dentist primarily caters to individuals who experience dental anxiety, phobia, strong gag reflexes, difficulty sitting still for extended periods, or those requiring complex and lengthy dental procedures. They offer a comprehensive range of sedation options, including full IV sedation (also known as "twilight sleep"), oral conscious sedation, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). IV sedation is a key service, allowing patients to undergo extensive dental work, such as full mouth implants, wisdom teeth removal, metal-free fillings and crowns, snap-on dentures, and cosmetic dental veneers, comfortably and often with no memory of the procedure. Beyond sedation, the clinic provides a wide array of general and complex dental services. Dr. Adams has extensive experience in dental implants, having successfully placed over 4000, including zirconia-ceramic tooth implants. He is an expert in full mouth implant dentistry, handling both the surgical placement and the final restorations. The clinic also addresses TMJ-TMD problems, clenching and grinding issues, and teeth wear, and is certified to perform DNA appliance therapy. Patients from across the DC and Baltimore metropolitan areas, and even from other states and abroad, travel to Maryland Sedation Dentist for their specialized care. They are known for their compassionate approach, offering no-cost consultations to evaluate patient needs and discuss treatment options without judgment.
