Yes! We schedule differently than most dental offices, allowing time to see patients usually within a few hours of your call – if not immediately! You won't be asked to come in and wait for an opening or be rushed through your care just because of a dental emergency.

Call us anytime. After hours calls are forwarded to an emergency line where you can leave a message, and one of our doctors will call you back. Of course, if it's a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

MFD is a General Practice with multiple dentists providing comprehensive preventative, restorative and Orthodontic dental treatment for the entire family. From pediatric "Happy Visits" where we introduce young children to a dental office environment to advanced complete mouth rehabilitations and everything in between, we have the unique ability to treat a wide variety of dental needs in one convenient location.

Please see accepted insurance providers. If you don’t see your provider listed, we can still file with them on your behalf. Generally, this is known as being "out-of-network"- which simply means that your provider will not reimburse us a preset amount, because we have not entered into a contract with them. Your provider will still reimburse for a portion of your treatment, just as they would if you were visiting an "in-network" office. Typically, there is not a significant difference in your responsibility to us whether you are in or out of network. Our staff is well-trained to assist you with any questions you may have regarding your plan’s dental benefit.

Sedation dentistry is a safe and routine part of modern dentistry, especially when administered by the experienced team at Midlothian Family Dentistry. Each staff member, whether in clinical or administrative roles, is required to undergo training and certification. We build redundancy in our staffing, with both Dr. Sorenson and Dr. Monacell being certified in Sedation techniques, while using a team of qualified medical anesthesiologists who deliver anesthesia during IV sedation procedures. No patient is ever left unattended at any time no matter how light or ‘routine’ the procedure. We take the care and safety of our patients very seriously and will review any safety concerns together during your consultation.

We offer a range of sedation levels and types based on the type of procedure and your preferences. Typically, patients are awake, but in a relaxed and dream-like state that allows them to be able to communicate with the doctor and staff, but unable to feel any pain. IV sedation, however, does allow for you to be in a sleep-like state, completely unaware of the procedure until once the procedure is done and the anesthesia wears off.

Many patients choose Nitrous Oxide because it allows them to drive to and from the appointment. Generally, you can resume your normal activities relatively quickly after your appointment if you choose this option.

For Oral Moderate and IV sedation, we require that a driver bring you to and from your appointment. When choosing one of these options, you should plan on taking the remainder of the day off before resuming your regular schedule.

We typically recommend that patients receiving general or IV anesthesia avoid eating about six hours prior to their appointment. Some patients report mild nausea after receiving nitrous oxide and we recommend avoiding large meals 2-3 hours before your procedure. Clear liquids are okay to consume during this time.

Our doctors and staff will provide thorough pre-and post-op instructions to help you prepare and recover. If you have any specific dietary restrictions or concerns, please bring them to our attention during your consultation.

Each form of sedation has different costs associated and will be specific to each patient. Your Treatment Coordinator will review your sedation requirements in detail with you ahead of your appointment so you will have a complete explanation of the charges you can expect.

Most dental benefit providers do not provide reimbursement for sedation services; however, your medical insurance provider may cover a portion of your costs. Neither Midlothian Family Dentistry nor Anesthesia Connections can file for your medical insurance provider for you, but we can assist you with getting the proper forms and documentation together to make your filing process as easy as possible. We encourage you to check with your insurance provider directly to understand your coverage.

Finance and supplemental insurance options are available, contact us for further details.
