Sedation Dentistry in
Toronto
Dr. Bruce Glazer
Anaesthesia (Sedation
Dentistry):
The special interest area in dentistry providing comfortable
sedation for all dental procedures but especially prosthodontics
and cosmetic dentistry.
Unlike local anaesthesia (freezing) which is used to block pain
sensation , general anaesthesia is a modality which will produce,
if desired by the anaesthesiologist, varying degrees of
unconsciousness.
I received specialized training in dental anaesthesia at the
University of Toronto under the tutelage of professor Robert Locke
and graduated in 1970. I have practiced sedation dentistry in
Toronto from that time right up until the present. I was the
co-founder and the past president of the Ontario Dental Society of
Anaesthesia and as part of my continuing commitment to education
have taught physiology, pharmacology and anaesthesia at the
University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry.
My office takes pride in my unique qualification to provide all
forms of dental treatment concurrent with anaesthesia. Sedation
dentistry techniques eliminate the discomfort and stress during
dental procedures, such as porcelain veneers, crowns and dental
implants. These and other dental procedures can be completed
while you sleep. With the aid of anæsthesia, treatment can be given
much more safely, more efficiently, and with more precision than
you have ever experienced.
The procedure for sedation in all its various forms is
similar-nothing to eat or drink 6-8 hours preop and the
availability of a responsible adult to take you home; the exception
is gas oxygen sedation. You are monitored throughout your entire
Toronto sedation dentistry procedure and in most cases require no
recovery afterwards. It is very much like the sedation that is
offered during a colonoscopy, except it is far more profound.
Using short acting sedatives and general anaesthetic agents I
can alter your consciousness so that you are totally unaware of
your surroundings and completely comfortable. Since graduating from
the Anaesthesia program at the University of Toronto in 1970, I
have administered more than 10,000 sedation dentistry treatments
for my Toronto
teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, endodontics and other
procedures patients.
