KALEB DAVIS, DDS

Dr. Davis earned his DDS from Indiana University School of Dentistry. He is currently a general dentist at Hadley Family Dentistry in Indianapolis, IN, and a member of the American Dental Association, Indiana Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry. With over 2 years of specialized experience providing IV sedation and as a member of DOCS Education, Dr. Davis is dedicated to ensuring that patients’ dental experiences are as comfortable and safe as possible.

When Dr. Kaleb Davis noticed a growing number of patients experiencing dental anxiety—often to the point of skipped appointments and missed production—he decided to do something about it and get certified in sedation dentistry. He soon discovered DOCS Education, which quickly emerged as the premier choice to receive his sedation training and education. Here, Dr. Davis explains how helping more patients meet their dental needs through IV sedation has led to new treatment opportunities and given his practice a boost.

 I recently saw a patient who hadn’t seen a dentist in 25 years due to negative experiences she had as a child and young adult. Having heard about our IV sedation services, she decided to visit our office, where we discovered she would need multiple extractions and dentures.

 

Thanks to sedation dentistry, we were able to complete all her extractions and provide immediate dentures in a single visit—ensuring she was calm and comfortable throughout the entire procedure. When she returned for her postop appointment, she was smiling from ear to ear. She told us that she had no recollection of the treatment process, which was exactly what she had hoped for! Offering IV sedation was a truly life-changing experience for this patient.

 

Expanding Your Practice’s Horizons

 

When researching companies that provide IV sedation training, DOCS Education had the longest track record of success as well as repeated recommendations. That’s because the company employs a proven, hands-on approach to providing safe and comfortable IV sedation—from learning how to gain IV access and running emergency scenarios to patient case selection and being smart about choosing who to sedate.

 

Now, many patients ask us about sedation dentistry, and some offices have even referred their patients to us because they know we provide it. With that, our patient flow and production have seen significant increases. While there is an upfront cost for equipment, training, and preparing for potential emergencies, IV sedation allows us to accomplish more in a single visit, and in the 2.5 years since introducing IV sedation, we have witnessed remarkable practice growth. As word continues to spread, we look forward to even more growth in the future.

 

Do It with DOCS

 

We’ve truly helped so many patients by providing this service, including those we could not have helped otherwise. Thanks to DOCS, I’ve never had a moment where I felt out of my comfort zone when performing sedation dentistry; I’m very at ease.

 

The education you get from DOCS is extremely thorough and will ensure your practice is well-prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. If you’re thinking about getting IV sedation training, do it with DOCS. You won’t regret it, and you will feel confident providing sedation dentistry at every turn.
