The Importance of a Qualified Dental Anesthesiologist

Receiving general anesthesia during dental procedures can be exceptionally effective for managing anxiety and fear, as well as allowing multiple treatments during one appointment. However, it is important that it is provided by a professional with proper training. At Dr. Clint Newman's practice in Nashville, TN, sedation is administered by Dr. Matthew Yezerski, a dental anesthesiologist who is certified to provide general anesthesia by the Tennessee Dental Board and the Kentucky Board of Dentistry. His extensive training allows him to perform all necessary precautions, appropriate care methods, and treatment for any emergencies that arise. Dr. Yezerski is a trusted professional who can provide safe, sedation typically only available through hospitals for our pediatric and adult patients in the comfort and convenience of our dental office.

Why Professional Dental Anesthesiology?

Receiving general anesthesia from a certified dental anesthesiologist provides a number of advantages during and after treatment.

Unparalleled, Experienced Care 

Dr. Yezerski has received essential training in various disciplines, obtaining crucial knowledge that is vital to protecting patient health when administering anesthesia. As a member of Nashville Office-Based Anesthesia (NOBA) he has education in both dental surgery and anesthesiology. Additionally, he has completed rotations in cardiology, internal medicine, pediatric medicine, and post-anesthesia care as Chief Resident of the Dental Anesthesia program at Stony Brook University Medical Center. His experience and skills allow him to understand each patient's needs and health risks so that he can customize anesthesia dosages.

Dr. Newman and Dr. Yezerski will work together throughout your treatment, focusing on your comfort and safety as their top priority. Prior to and following your procedure, you will have the opportunity to address any concerns with Dr. Yezerski directly to ensure you are confident in his care and your decision. 

Limiting Risk for Complications

Dental anesthesia is complex and it is of the utmost importance that it is only administered by a certified anesthesiologist. Many patients do not realize that when anesthesia is provided by an inexperienced dentist, it may leave patients at a higher risk for serious complications caused by lack of oxygen and other concerns. 

However, when administered by a certified professional, general anesthesia is typically considered a very safe form of sedation. Dr. Yezerski will only utilize approved anesthesia drugs while closely monitoring your blood pressure, breathing, and other bodily functions to ensure your well-being. 

Dr. Clint Newman is proud to offer his patients the peace of mind associated with sedation provided by a board-certified dental anesthesiologist. 

Increased Comfort 

Dental anesthesia allows patients to undergo necessary care in the most relaxed state possible. While under sedation, patients will typically experience no pain and will remain unconscious during the procedure. Dr. Yezerski's extensive training has given him the knowledge to formulate the best level of sedation for each patient, providing the most comfortable experience possible for general, restorative, or cosmetic treatments. 

Instead of traveling to an unfamiliar hospital, patients can receive professional care in the comfort of our dental office. Dr. Yezerski will come in on the day of your appointment accompanied by NOBA's state-of-the-art mobile equipment for the highest-quality sedation care.
