We’re Adding a Chesapeake Location!


Look out, Chesapeake! Here we come! We’re opening a new location this summer in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake! With this new location, we’ll be better able to serve the Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk and Portsmouth communities. Patients in these areas will have access to all the benefits of Advanced Sedation Dentistry. Both Dr. Futerman and Dr. Phillips will be working from this location, so you will receive the same expert, friendly service we’re known for!  You’ll find us at the Harbour Shoppes shopping center just north of the locks. Office hours will be Monday through Friday by appointment. Contact information for the Chesapeake office will still be through our Virginia Beach location.  We’d love to see you at our new Great Bridge location opening this summer! Check back soon – we’ll have more information to come!

Real Patient Experiences: Justin Edelman


“I was eating a cheeseburger the next day!” That’s what Justin Edelman said about having his wisdom teeth removed at Advanced Sedation Dentistry. Justin had heard stories from others who had horrible experiences with the procedure. Seeking to avoid the same fate, Justin contacted Advanced Sedation Dentistry after a referral from a friend.

Justin said he chose sedation because he wanted the most comfortable experience possible. He wanted to simply go to sleep and wake up with the procedure complete – and that’s exactly what happened. He said the entire process was nearly pain-free. In fact, it was so pain-free that he was eating soft foods like mashed potatoes five or six hours after the procedure and solid foods the very next day. He was even comfortable enough to enjoy a cheeseburger!

Having your wisdom teeth removed is common, but many shutter at the thought of the procedure. At Advanced Sedation, we can make the experience of wisdom teeth removal as simple and pain-free as possible. We’ll help you choose the level of sedation that’s best for you and provide a comfortable, caring environment.

Real Patient Experiences: Bill Kavaky


We continue our series of real patient stories with Mr. Bill Kavaky. We’re excited to share that Bill has been extremely impressed with his experience at Advanced Sedation Dentistry. Bill’s experience began when he researched sedation dentists online. There, he found Advanced Sedation and decided to make an appointment for a cleaning, x-rays and assessment.  He explained that, “The staff was very informative and the office was extremely inviting.”

It turned out Bill needed a bridge and two crowns. After feeling his initial appointment went well, he decided to go ahead with the procedures. Bill stated that one key factor in his decision was that, “Dr. Sarah Phillips spent a lot of quality time with me, and I felt much taken care of and that I was not alone.” Bill received nitrous oxide sedation to ease the pain of his procedures and explained that the staff at Advanced Sedation had educated him so that he fully understood his choices.

Bill could not say enough about how wonderful the staff was and how the atmosphere was very pleasant. He expressed that his time at Advanced Sedation Dentistry was the best dental experience he has ever had. “100% better than the previous experiences,” he stated. We are so happy to have had the chance to help Bill through his procedures comfortably and pain-free!
