Outpatient dental anesthesia is especially well-suited for pediatric patients . Young patients and their parents are most comfortable in their own dentist ’ s office because it is familiar and welcoming .
In the dental office , LSDA ensures continuity , as the dentist anesthesiologist is with the patient from initial numbing at the start of the procedure through the recovery period and discharge .
The doctors of Lone Star Dental Anesthesia found that they had common goals , philosophies , and professional ethics . They enjoy collaborating on complex cases and sharing ideas to develop the best possible care plan for each patient .
colleagues and their staff with respect – we are guests in their office . We aren ’ t there to push the envelope , we are there to provide a service to our host dentist and enhance their capacity to care for their patients .”
Keeping it simple
Dentists will find it easy and convenient to set appointments using LSDA ’ s simplified online scheduling system , which allows them to book appointments directly . The HIPAA-secure website
enables the patient to securely submit medical history and information prior to their appointment , and to explore FAQs that answer the most common questions about outpatient anesthesia treatment .
Once an appointment is scheduled , LSDA will have a phone consultation with the patient to do a thorough review of the patient ’ s medical history to consider their overall wellness , physical status , medical condition and medications to determine if outpatient anesthesia is appropriate .
Genevieve Ferran , LSDA patient coordinator , at the direction of the anesthesiologist , arranges any consultations with patient ’ s physicians or refers for a physical exam about any medical concerns that may play a role in the individualized anesthesia plan . Obtaining all patient health information prior to their scheduled appointment allows the LSDA doctors to chart an efficient , effective , and safe path for office-based anesthesia care .
Lone Star Dental Anesthesia sets a high bar for personalized patient care and is committed to providing an exceptional dental experience for every patient .
