Glen Atlas, MD, Anesthesiologist

Dr. Glen Atlas, a board certified anesthesiologist with over 12 years experience, and a group of select dentists, now offer dental patients the chance to receive anesthesia for dental procedures.

Dr. Atlas is a full professor, in the department of anesthesiology, at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He has produced 28 publications and has developed and patented state-of-the-art medical equipment. He has also received several research grants.

Dr. Atlas is also an adjunct member of the graduate faculty of Rutgers University Department of Biomedical Engineering.

How to schedule anesthesia for dentistry:

Dr. Atlas, the dentist, and the patient decide if this treatment option is appropriate for the patient. A mutually convenient date and time is also chosen.

Naturally, preexisting medical conditions may affect the how anesthesia will effect the patient. Dr. Atlas works closely with any other physicians the patient may have to deliver “optimum anesthesia.”

Patients receive “conscious sedation” or “twilight sleep.” Patients have little, if any, recall of the dental procedure. All patients have been delighted with “waking up” and having their dental procedure over.
