Get The Dental Care You Need Without Anxiety or Fear
At the Center for Adult Dentistry, sedation dentistry exists to make comprehensive care accessible to patients 50 and older, who need it most.
The Care You Need, Without the Fear
Many of the patients who find Dr. Cutts have been avoiding dental care for years, sometimes decades, because of anxiety, shame,
or a prior experience that made the chair feel unsafe. We provide sedation dentistry to make getting the treatment you need easier.
Why Most Patients Avoid the Dental Chair
Anxiety that built after a difficult experience. Shame about how long it has been. A dental system that moved too fast and never made them feel heard.
By the time most patients visit Dr. Cutts, avoidance has become the only option that felt manageable.
No Judgement
Ever
Walking through our door takes courage for many patients — especially those who have spent years avoiding care out of shame, fear, or past disappointment. We don't take that lightly. Whatever has kept someone away, it is not a reason to stay away any longer.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients remain calm, comfortable, and relaxed during dental treatment.
It’s not about being put to sleep. It’s about making comprehensive care accessible to patients for whom anxiety, fear, or a prior experience has made the chair feel impossible.
For patients who have been avoiding care for years, sedation dentistry is not a last resort. It is the thing that finally makes getting the care they need possible.
Who It's For
Adults 50 and older who have been avoiding dental care because of anxiety, fear, shame, or a prior experience that made the chair feel unsafe, and who are ready to finally address what they have been putting off.
What It Addresses
Dental anxiety, fear of pain, shame about the state of their oral health, and the years of avoidance that have compounded because no doctor made them feel safe enough to act.
What's Involved
A personalized approach designed around your specific level of anxiety and the treatment you need, with Dr. Cutts present and accountable from the first conversation to the final result.
What Makes It Different Here
At the Center for Adult Dentistry, sedation is not a procedure. It is a standard of care for patients who need it. Dr. Cutts and the team understand that walking through the door takes courage for many patients, and they do not take that lightly.
Sedation You Can Finally Feel Comfortable Saying Yes To
For many patients, fear has kept them from getting the care they need for years.
Dr. Cutts takes the time to understand what has kept you away and builds your comfort plan around that.

What It Means To Finally
Get The Care You Need
Dr. Cutts recommends only what is clinically appropriate for your case and makes sure you feel safe before anything else happens.
The Ability to Get the Care You Need
Anxiety should not be the reason comprehensive care stays out of reach. Sedation removes the barrier that has been standing between you and the treatment you have needed for years.
A Chair That Finally Feels Safe
For patients who have spent years dreading the dentist, the experience of feeling genuinely calm and cared for changes everything. Not just for this appointment, but for every one that follows.
No More
Waiting
Whatever has kept you away, it is not a reason to stay away any longer. The care you need is here, and so is the support to make getting it possible.
