Dr. Kevin Mahoney, a highly experienced dentist with over 34 years in practice, is notably the only dentist in Erie, PA, with an unrestricted general anesthesiology permit and one of approximately 300 dental general anesthesiologists in the United States.

The clinic's primary focus, as its name suggests, is on "sleep dentistry" or general dental anesthesia, allowing patients to be fully unconscious and pain-free during procedures. This makes it an ideal choice for complex treatments or for individuals who dread dental visits. Beyond general anesthesia, they offer a range of sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation, tailored to individual anxiety levels and procedure complexity. Sleep Dentistry with Dr. Kevin Mahoney provides a comprehensive suite of dental services beyond sedation, encompassing: Family Dentistry: Catering to the oral health needs of the entire family. Pediatric Dentistry: Specialized care for children, with an emphasis on creating positive dental experiences. Cosmetic Dentistry: Procedures aimed at enhancing the aesthetics of a patient's smile. Orthodontics: Treatments for correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. A unique and comforting aspect of the practice is the presence of their licensed therapy dogs, Dogtor Gizmo and Gadget, who are available to help anxious patients feel more at ease. The clinic prides itself on its commitment to patient comfort and pain control, ensuring a positive experience from routine cleanings to emergency oral surgeries. They also highlight their ability to perform extensive dental work in fewer visits due to the effectiveness of their sedation techniques.
