Our clinic, Shine Dental Associates partners with General Anesthesia Services (GAS) to provide sedation for our patients. GSA offers a professional team of board-certified anesthesia specialists who help us provide the safest possible and easiest dental experience you’ve ever had. We focus on making you comfortable. GAS specialists work with our dental services providers at our offices helping ensure you have a comfortable, pain-free and safe experience. Sedation dentistry is perfect for any type o dental procedure including extractions, implants and cosmetic procedures.
First of all, when making your appointment and completing documentation, please be honest. There is certain information we must have to provide the best experience possible. This includes your current medications, your weight and height, and your medical history. If you’ve had anesthesia in the past, such as surgery, please let us know. We also need to know if you drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or use any other controlled substances.
The anesthesiologist will call you before your appointment to discuss how to prepare. They will let you know if you need to stop eating or drinking at a certain time prior to your appointment. They will also tell you if you need to stop taking any current medications.
The anesthesiologist will discuss your medical history with you. This is the time to ask any questions or voice any concerns about the procedure. If you have questions, it helps to write them down beforehand so you don’t forget anything. Following your procedure, you will need someone to drive you home.
During your dental procedure, our primary concern is ensuring you are safe. Our staff will continually monitor your vital signs including your heart rate, blood pressure, EKG, body temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Our anesthesiologists are medical doctors and will address any medical problems that might occur during the procedure.
Sedation dentistry is like any other medical procedure that involves anesthesia. There are certain risks to undergoing anesthesia, but as long as you are honest with the doctors about any underlying medical conditions, these procedures are completely safe. Should an emergency occur during your procedure, our staff is trained in Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Our dental suites are equipped with the latest in life support equipment including AED devices, defibrillators, airway equipment and emergency medications. We also have emergency plans in place with our local ambulance and EMT/EMS services to ensure rapid transport to the local hospital if it becomes necessary.
GAS has an excellent record for patient safety. In the United States, deaths due to anesthesia have dropped dramatically in the last 20 years, falling from 1 in 10,000 procedures to 1 in 400,000 anesthesia procedures. GAS anesthesiologists take every precaution to ensure the safety of their dental patients.
If you’ve ever had a problem with general anesthesia, it is of the utmost importance to inform your dental provider. It is very rare, but it is possible to experience an allergic reaction to anesthetic medication. Let your anesthesiologist know about any medications you are currently taking so they can take the appropriate steps to ensure you do not have a reaction to the anesthetic medication.

M. M.This is the best hospital I've ever been to!!! I've brought my daughter several times and they always took good care of her. Yesterday was the first time for myself and I can honestly say they were the best team I've EVER had. The nurses are so polite and caring. The doctors on point. I will never forget this experience. Plus the wait time was tolerable. I was in and out of there in less than 6 hrs considering I also had a ctscan done. So yeah. Best ER !!!!Susan WStaff is kind patient and caring.Ivy bruI think this place is the best hospital for the emergency room. I been there three times and they have taken me quick every time and the nurses are all so nice. I’ve had three great experiences there. That’s better then Any other hospital on the island. Other hospitals ii have waited up to 6 hours and still never got seen. The place is great!terence gelberThey amazed me AGAIN!! I had been to Syosset Hospital for my right hip last August. I found the service to be Spectacular. Seamless from valet parking to taking my bags to the ambulette on my way to rehab. Just finished my Left hip at Syosset. Intake, communication medical procedures and the food is off the charts!! Even The chef spent 20 minutes with me discussing the food concepts. where and why it is sourced and the anticipated boost of such quality to overall outcomes… WOW!! Now the tricky parts: I was scheduled for an Ambulette which is not covered on my insurance (not sure why?) So hospital staff arranged the ride at about 2:40 pm and I was to call wheelchair Ambulette company at 3pm to pay $150. For service.. when I called the price became $325. I mentioned the price difference I’d been given but acquiesced to the $325 and gave my credit card expecting a ride at 5PM. Which was quickly pushed till 7pm at but nobody showed. At 8:30 a women from the Ambulette company arrived with an “AMBuLANCE” not an Ambulette. She had a distinct attitude I imagine because she knew it was the wrong vehicle and when I questioned her the price was now $1500. Or “you’re here till Monday” she snorted. 3 extra days) This was 100 % shakedown! The Hospital nurse overseeing the dispute interceded and stopped what was about to get loud! The nurse returned with Supervisor who with my approval dismissed the driver. The supervisor further assured me I had a place to sleep, (now at almost 10pm) and went through the process of communicating with the transport company who arranged for another ride the following day at noon.. BUT 30 minutes later he was contacted by the transport company and was informed they had a proper vehicle and if the client( me) would agree and we could get Intake approval at The Rehab center this late they (transport) would come and pick me up. A short while later a young man name Trayvon arrived and rolled me into a nice clean Ambulette, strapped me in and delivered me directly to my room at Sterns Family Rehab In Manhasset. Honestly, I was medicated and not up to the challenge of negotiating under duress only 24 hours post surgery but At every step of the challenging period the Syosset Hospital staff protected me, and represented me, their patient, with a quiet, beautiful professionalism that is hard to describe. Now I’m on my third day of therapy and My brother will drive me home. When it’s done. Terry Gelber Walton NYElaine ManfrediWith the hospital being so clean, the staff so pleasant and helpful and the excellent care I received from the nurses, anesthesiologist and my surgeon Dr. Morrison, I could not have wished for better.Gi. Na. ParrellaThank you Syosset Hospital staff …! 🙏 thank you for helping … too much love
