At Sedation & Implant Dentistry, we believe that ”sensitive patients, require sensitive care.” Surveys show that 70% of adults neglect their primary dental care because of fear and anxiety.
Sedation and Implant Dentistry and Associates specialize in providing world class care to suit your needs. Because we offer monitored IV sedation or oral sedation we can make your trip to the dentist safe and less traumatic.
At Sedation and Implant Dentistry, we realize the impact of toxic materials and how it relates to dental and physiological health (biologically based dentistry). We perform mercury free restorations. Doctor Anderson has lectured and taught other professionals about the “Oral Systemic Connection”, the link between inflammation in the mouth and diseases of cardiovascular system ,diabetes, respiratory ailments and pregnancy.
By using state of the art technology for example the Biolase laser and CEREC, we will even save you money by performing more dental procedures in less visits, giving you the freedom of spending your time on the more enjoyable things in life.
Dr Anderson has 25 years of experience in both the surgical and restorative aspects of Dental Implant Therapy. He holds a Masters of Science Degree in Periodontology (Gum Diseases) and is an active member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (I.A.O.M.T.) Dr. Anderson is also a Certified Nutritional Consultant and can offer nutritional counseling.

Oral cancer includes mouth, tongue, tonsil and throat cancers. The incidence of new diagnosis continues to increase in the US and worldwide. The pathways to oral cancer include the use of tobacco and alcohol and exposure to the HPV-16 virus (human papilloma virus version 16). This virus is also one confirmed pathway for cervical cancer in women. Genetic predisposition can also contribute to oral cancer, but it is not as common of a cause.
In the US, there are about 100 new cases diagnosed daily and the death rate is around one person per hour. Oral cancer is not a rare thing. One of the biggest concerns is that diagnosis is often times in the later stages of oral cancer. The key is awareness; What are the symptoms, what can it look like, and are you at risk??? The other key is early screening and regular examination from your dental professional.
As an added service for our patients, Sedation & Implant Dentistry is now offering OraRisk HPV testing. This type of test screens for several types of HPV that have been known to cause abnormal pathology and certain oral cancers. The test will help us in identifying what HPV strains you may have been exposed to and the risk category that you would fall in to.
We also offer MyPerioPath bacterial screening, which helps identify gum disease causing bacteria, and MyPerioID genetic testing for periodontal disease. We as a practice believe in the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment modalities. We want to make sure that we are delivering the best care and that we are staying current on emerging problems that affect our patients and their families.

With all the processed foods , with minimum sunlight in northern states , with some genetic and racial characteristics , we are just not receiving enough of the essential vitamins and minerals to function properly, especially when considering Vitamin D. A recent commentary in a prominent Journal of Orthopedic Surgery, suggested the vitamin D testing be accomplished and any insufficiencies or deficiencies be treated prior to surgery. Orthopedic surgeons are dealing with soft tissue wound healing and bone healing, the same mechanisms as oral surgery healing. Maybe we should consider Vitamin therapy for some of our dental patients prior to their oral surgery.
When spending your money on a supplement, it’s important to pay for potency and proven results: You want to take something that your body can absorb and use. More is not necessarily better. Xango’s 3SIXTY5’s vitamin matrix is paired with naturally sourced nutrients and chelated minerals to produce a well rounded blend your body can actually USE. Try them and FEEL the difference yourself.

In the dental profession, and in life in general, I think that this is a very important thought. This is not just a job, even a career, it is a lifestyle. Caring for people is a way of life. I have been working in the dental profession for over 10 years now and I will truly say that it has been a wonderful journey. I have met so many patients throughout the years and have been able to form relationships that exceed the realm of “ all professional”. My goal and the goal that I have instilled in my team is to make sure that you feel cared for and realize that you are not just a chart, a nameless patient. You are a part of our practice, and we would be nothing without each and every one of you.
Welcome to the Sedation & Implant Dentistry family!
