Hospital-Grade Safety in a Comfortable Office
The "Two MDs" Difference
Uniquely, our IV sedation is monitored by a Board-Certified MD Anesthesiologist. This means one doctor focuses exclusively on your child's breathing and vitals, while the dentist focuses on their teeth.
Specialized Care
We are experts in treating children with Special Needs. Our team is trained to be gentle, patient, and accommodating to sensory sensitivities.
One & Done Visits
Sedation allows us to complete extensive treatment—fillings, crowns, or extractions—in a single visit while your child sleeps comfortably.
A Safe Haven for Anxious Smiles
We don't just treat teeth; we treat the whole child. See why parents of anxious children drive to Tucker and Decatur to see Dr. Powell.
"My daughter has extreme dental anxiety and came armed with her emotional support stuffie. The staff was very gentle, kind and thoughtful during her visit."
"Dr. Powell is really wonderful with my children, one of whom has special needs. Both offices are great at helping kids feel comfortable."
"My daughter had a rough experience as a small child at another dentist and dreaded going. Everyone here has been wonderful, and she no longer fears her appointments."
Accessible Care for Every Child
We believe that fear shouldn't be a barrier to health, and neither should cost. We offer clear options to help you manage your care.
Insurance
We work with most PPO dental insurance plans to maximize your benefits. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
Financing Options
No insurance? No problem. We accept Cherry and CareCredit, and offer an affordable In-House Dental Membership Plan.
FAQs
Sedation often comes with questions. This FAQ covers the most common concerns so you know what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
Yes. Safety is our top priority. Unlike many offices where the dentist does both the work and the sedation, we bring in a separate MD Anesthesiologist to monitor your child continuously. It is the gold standard of safety.
No. With IV sedation, your child will sleep through the entire procedure and wake up with no memory of the treatment. It is perfect for extensive work or high anxiety.
Absolutely. Dr. Powell and our team are experienced in creating a calm, non-judgmental environment for children with special needs.
In most cases, yes! Sedation allows us to combine X-rays, cleanings, and all necessary repairs into one appointment, saving you multiple trips.
