Our mission is simple but profound: to make dental care accessible to everyone—especially those who have been turned away, felt judged, or avoided treatment due to fear, trauma, or complex medical needs.
We believe that:
Unlike conventional dental practices that add sedation as an afterthought, we designed our entire clinic around it. From our dual general anesthesia suites to our board-certified anesthesiologists to our specially trained dental team, every aspect of our practice exists to deliver calm, comfortable, anxiety-free dentistry.
We didn't retrofit a dental office to accommodate sedation—we built a sedation facility that happens to provide dentistry.
Key Features:
Most dental offices offer "sedation" in the form of a single oral medication or nitrous oxide administered by the dentist. That's not what we do.
Our team includes two board-certified medical anesthesiologists:
This means you receive true deep sedation and general anesthesia—the same level of care you'd receive in a hospital operating room, but in the comfort of a private practice setting.
Dr. Anatolij Koniouchine has devoted his entire career to sedation dentistry since 2001. A graduate of Université de Montréal with advanced certifications from the Misch Implant Institute, Pankey Institute, and Hands-On Training Institute, he has performed thousands of sedation procedures across all levels of complexity.
General dentists across Ottawa, Gatineau, and Eastern Ontario refer their most challenging cases to Dr. Koniouchine because they trust his judgment, skill, and infrastructure. He doesn't just perform dentistry under sedation—he understands when sedation is medically necessary, what level is appropriate, and how to coordinate with anesthesiologists to deliver optimal outcomes.
Every member of our team—from reception to hygienists to surgical assistants—receives specialized training in working with anxious patients, trauma survivors, and individuals with special needs.
We understand that dental anxiety isn't "just nerves." For many patients, it's rooted in past trauma, sensory sensitivities, loss of control, or medical conditions that make traditional dentistry impossible. Our team is trained to recognize these factors and adapt our approach accordingly.
You will never be judged here. You will never be rushed. You will always be treated with dignity and respect.
