Dr. Ronald O. Davies is Board Certified in his field and UCLA Hospital trained in Medical Anesthesiology.
If you are among the millions who avoid the dentist because of fear and anxiety there is a safe, preferable, less expensive alternative than hospital dentistry for your cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. Dentalphobics, gaggers, claustrophobics, those with low pain thresholds, a history of failed local anesthesia, the medically compromised and patients with long or complicated appointments all benefit from intravenous sleep dentistry provided by native Californian Ronald O. Davies, DDS. He uniquely understands your needs, as he is one of only a handful of doctors in the United States who is a licensed USC dentist, has a Medical Residency in Anesthesiology from UCLA and is a Diplomate of both the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology and the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology.
Dr. Davies pioneered Total Intravenous Anesthesia sedation and general anesthesia services for thousands of grateful patients with an unsurpassed safety record, while reducing costs and side effects. He was interviewed on the ABC News Program 20/20 because of his nationally known anesthesia expertise. He treats you in the familiarity of your own dentist's office at a fraction of the cost of a hospital anesthetic. If you do not have a dentist who doesn't meet your special needs, Dr. Davies will refer you to some of the many outstanding cosmetic dentists and specialists with whom he associates. Whether you require dental implants, root canals, gum surgery, extractions, cosmetic or full mouth reconstruction, Dr. Davies works with only the most ethical and professional dentists in Southern California. And like all medically trained anesthesiologists, he is uniquely capable of helping patients with serious medical conditions requiring special monitoring.
Dr. Davies frequently treats patients referred to him because of unsatisfactory experiences with other practitioners using other older techniques, especially intubation. Some call because of a failed "sleeping pill" procedure where they were promised to be put to sleep simply by taking a pill but remember everything. As a result, these patients have lost trust and have even more heightened anxiety. Some have endured the unnecessary side effects of intubation, such as a sore throat, inability to urinate after anesthesia, nausea, vomiting, and delayed awakening. With his safer technique of Total Intravenous Anesthesia, (TIVA) these complications don't occur. Finally, some patients or their physicians are uncomfortable with the operating dentist/surgeon providing the anesthesia, performing the surgery and monitoring simultaneously so they request Dr. Davies to provide TIVA just like in the hospital.
