Sedation Dentistry
in Charlotte, NC

For children with moderate to severe dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or extensive treatment needs who may require a deeper level of sedation—but can safely be treated in a dental office setting—we offer in-office general anesthesia with the help of our trusted board-certified anesthesiologists.

Their primary role is to keep your child safely sedated and closely monitored throughout the procedure, allowing our dental team to focus entirely on delivering the highest quality care. And because treatment takes place in our own office, your child remains in a familiar, comforting environment—minimizing disruption to their routine and eliminating the need for a hospital visit.

Our team partners closely with the anesthesiologist to ensure a safe, seamless, and supportive experience from start to finish.

For children with severe anxiety, young age, or complex treatment needs that cannot be completed safely in-office, hospital-based dentistry under general anesthesia may be the best path forward. This approach allows your child to complete all needed dental care in a single visit while fully asleep—reducing stress and encouraging a more positive association with oral health.

Dr. Simon partners with trusted hospitals and surgery centers to provide care in a fully equipped, medically controlled environment. We’ll walk alongside you every step of the way—from referral to recovery—with care, clarity, and peace of mind.

We’re proud to offer SOAN by NuSmile, a state-of-the-art system that allows us to numb teeth without the discomfort of a traditional syringe. This gentle, targeted technique delivers local anesthesia directly to the tooth being treated—minimizing numbness in the lips and cheeks, and making the experience far less intimidating for children.

SOAN is especially helpful for kids with anxiety or sensory sensitivities. By reducing fear and increasing comfort during treatment, it helps create a more relaxed and positive experience for both you and your child.
