General anesthesia, delivered where your child feels safe.

Some children need dental work completed in a single, closely monitored visit. Treehouse offers in-office general anesthesia with board-certified anesthesiologist partners — so that care happens here, with the dentist your child already trusts, instead of a hospital or surgical center.

What in-office general anesthesia means for your child

General anesthesia means your child is fully and comfortably asleep for the appointment, under the continuous care of a board-certified anesthesiologist whose only focus that day is monitoring them. It's the right approach for children who need extensive work completed at once, who have significant anxiety around dental visits, or who have special healthcare needs that make a routine appointment difficult. Dr. Lambert plans each case in detail beforehand, so the day itself is calm, complete, and unhurried.

Built around safety and careful planning.

Why families choose in-office anesthesia at Treehouse

Anesthesia is never taken lightly. Every case is planned in advance, reviewed together, and delivered by a dedicated team focused entirely on your child that day.

Board-certified anesthesiologists

Every case is managed by a board-certified anesthesiologist whose only responsibility that day is monitoring your child.

No hospital admission

Care happens in the same office your child already knows — not an unfamiliar hospital or surgical center.

One coordinated visit

Dr. Lambert plans and performs the dental work alongside the anesthesia team, so treatment is complete before your child wakes up.

Questions that come up most

What parents usually want to know

Every child and every case is different. The answers below are a starting point — the rest happens in conversation, before anything is scheduled.

Is general anesthesia safe for my child?

General anesthesia is delivered by a board-certified anesthesiologist whose sole responsibility that day is monitoring your child. Dr. Lambert reviews medical history, plans the case in advance, and walks you through every step before the appointment.

How is this different from sedation?

Treehouse offers general anesthesia only — not oral or conscious sedation. Your child is fully asleep and comfortable, with continuous monitoring by a dedicated anesthesia team. It's the right approach for comprehensive treatment in one visit.

Which children need this kind of care?

Often children with extensive decay, dental trauma, special healthcare needs, significant dental anxiety, or very young children facing complex treatment. If another office has told you they can't complete the work in their setting, this is usually why.

What does the day itself look like?

You'll arrive with your child, meet the anesthesia team, and stay close throughout. Treatment is completed in one appointment, and you'll be with your child as they wake up. Dr. Lambert reviews everything with you before you head home.

How do we know if this is the right path?

Start with a conversation. Dr. Lambert will review your child's history, examine where things stand, and walk through every option — including the ones that don't require anesthesia. The plan is built around your child, not the other way around.

Will my child need to be treated at a hospital or surgery center instead?

Many children can be treated with in-office general anesthesia, but not every case is a fit. A thorough evaluation by Dr. Lambert and our anesthesia partners determines the right setting for your child, and if a hospital or surgery center is the safer choice, we'll refer you to the right resources.
