What General Dentistry Means at a Sedation Office

Many patients assume that sedation dentistry is reserved only for major oral surgeries. At Saratoga Smiles, we change that narrative. We believe that anxiety should never be a barrier to basic healthcare.

Here, general dentistry meets advanced sedation protocols. This means you can utilize our sedation options—ranging from mild nitrous oxide to oral conscious sedation or IV sedation—for routine procedures that might otherwise cause you distress.

The Sedation Advantage for General Care:

Catch Up in One Visit: Because sedation relaxes you completely, Dr. Gorman can often combine multiple treatments (such as fillings, crowns, and deep cleanings) into a single, efficient appointment.
Zero “White Knuckling”: Eliminate the tension of holding your jaw open or the anxiety of clinical sounds. You rest comfortably while we work.
A Reset Button: For patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear, our sedation-capable general dentistry offers a fresh start without the trauma.

The Fee-For-Service Difference: Quality Over Volume

In an era of corporate, insurance-driven dental mills, Saratoga Smiles has chosen a different path. We are a Fee-for-Service (FFS) practice.

This is a deliberate choice to prioritize your health over insurance restrictions. By operating outside of restrictive insurance networks, we are free to utilize the highest quality laboratories, the most durable materials, and the most advanced technology available.

What this means for you:

Longer Appointments: We never double-book. When you are in our chair, you have 100% of our attention. We take the time to listen, explain your options, and perform dentistry with artistic precision.
Doctor Continuity: You will never be shuffled between different associate dentists. You will see Dr. Gorman every time, ensuring that your provider knows your dental history, your personal preferences, and your anxiety triggers inside and out.
Personalized Care, Not Quotas: Your treatment plan is based strictly on what is best for your long-term health, not on what an insurance company dictates is “payable” this month.

Note on Insurance: While we are fee-for-service, we are happy to submit claims to your insurance provider on your behalf as a courtesy, helping you maximize your reimbursement while receiving top-tier care.
