About Us
Our Story
Founded by three visionary anesthesiologists, SmileMD is dedicated to transforming the delivery of dental care by accelerating access to essential sedation services. Our mission is to make high-quality, in-office sedation available to dental practices, ensuring that underserved populations receive the timely and effective care they need.
At SmileMD, we bring hospital-quality anesthesia directly to dental offices, enabling dentists to perform critical procedures in a familiar and comfortable environment. Our innovative model not only improves patient outcomes but also enhances the efficiency and financial stability of dental practices.
We understand the challenges associated with accessing timely dental care, especially for pediatric patients. Long wait times at hospitals and the need for specialized sedation services often delay necessary treatments. SmileMD addresses these issues by providing safe, convenient, and highly effective in-office sedation services, significantly reducing wait times and improving patient satisfaction.
With a commitment to the highest standards of safety and care, SmileMD follows stringent guidelines set by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Our experienced medical team uses state-of-the-art equipment and rigorous protocols to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient.
Today, SmileMD continues to expand its reach, partnering with dental practices across the United States to deliver critical sedation services. By improving access to care and enhancing the overall patient experience, SmileMD is making a meaningful impact on the lives of patients and the practices we serve.
