About the Practice
At Comfort Anesthesia Group, our professionals are dentist anesthesiologists who have undergone extensive specialty training performing a wide range of anesthesia services for children and adults undergoing dental procedures. Our extensive training includes valuable mobile in-office anesthesia experience, where we bring hospital-grade anesthesia into dental offices. We are familiar with dental offices, equipment and surgical procedures which helps us anticipate patient needs and tailor individual anesthesia services accordingly. Founded in 2002 by dentist anesthesiologist Lenny Naftalin, DDS, DADBA, the practice continues to serve pediatric and adult patients in the most caring, compassionate and professional manner to ensure each dental visit is a comfortable and pleasant experience.
State-of-the-Art Mobile Center
With our mobile dental anesthesia practice, we transform the dentist’s office into a state-of-the- art surgical center so patients remain comfortable during routine or surgical dental procedures. Our experienced staff safely administers different types of anesthesia with the availability of hospital quality monitors, anesthesia machines, and emergency medications and equipment.
Continuous patient monitoring includes: pulse oximetry, blood pressure, electrocardiography, temperature, and gas analysis (carbon dioxide, oxygen, and anesthetic gas levels).
