Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions and we’ve got answers.
-
Apollo Surgery Center does, which means your surgery/anesthesia portion will be covered.
The dental portion does not. There are discounted rates on the dental portion.
-
No! We have a pediatric dentist and general dentist on staff. So we are now seeing teenagers with complex needs and adults with anxiety or special needs as well.
-
Absolutely. Each case will need to be screened for safety by our anesthesia team. There will be some medical conditions that will be recommended to be treated in a hospital setting instead of a surgery center. Please contact our office and we can help guide you.
-
No:) We have created Sleepy Teeth to be a support to our community of dentists and their patients. We are here to address your child’s major dental needs with the help of an anesthesiologist, and once that work is completed, we will refer your child back to their dental home. If you don’t have a dental home, we will be happy to help you find one. But, you can always stop by and say hello:)
-
Always. We are a family-owned company and will wait for the right fit.
Please email us at hello@sleepyteeth.dental if you are interested in working with us.
-
Yes, typically when a child is under anesthesia, we limit it to one visit and complete all necessary dental work.
For our adults with special needs, it may take 2 visits under anesthesia to complete the necessary work.
-
Most children will have already been pre-screened for safety and need. If our pediatric dentist feels that the risk of sedation outweighs the benefit, she will discuss other routes and possibilities, and help guide you to a dental home that can support that.
-
Most patients will have found us naturally by way of referral from a primary care physician or a dentist. But, if you don’t have a referral, our pediatric dentist will screen you and determine if our care is appropriate for you.
If you’ve been told you need sedation and would like our opinion, you can contact us or use the self-appointment to schedule your exam.
-
Yes, the surgery center can bill your medical insurance. For the dental portion, we can help you determine if you have out of network benefits.
-
The surgery center and anesthesia side is in network with all major insurances including medicaid. The dental portion is working on contracts with insurances which will take some time.
In the meantime, there will be significant discount to our already reasonable fees.
Contact us, and once we understand your child’s needs, we can get an estimate for you.
