A Los Angeles, CA, dentist anesthesiologist explains why he turns to Sedation Resource for its unmatched customer service to support his growing dental practice

 

Kenneth K. Lee, DDS, could easily turn to any number of dental suppliers to purchase the equipment and tools he needs to run his dental practice, where he treats patients under general anesthesia. But for nearly 20 years, his first call has been to Sedation Resource—a partner he trusts time and again.

A family-owned and -operated, customer-focused company, Texas-based Sedation Resource has earned a reputation as a trusted partner for dentists like Dr. Lee, who practices in Los Angeles, CA. Specializing in equipment and supplies for sedation dentistry, Sedation Resource delivers not just reliable tools, but also the exceptional monitoring support and responsive service that Dr. Lee counts on for safe, streamlined care.

 

A True Practice Partner

 

“It’s the service behind the sales,” he shared. “Sedation Resource is not just there to sell me what I need; they also guide customers through every little piece of installation, problem-solving, and support. It’s really not about what they sell per se; it’s about the service and expertise that they provide. The relationship just doesn’t stop the moment the product is sold. I couldn’t be as successful without the products, services, and support from Sedation Resource. It's a 1-stop shop for all things anesthesia. I teach dental anesthesia and periodontology residents, and I hold training courses through One2One Anesthesia for all levels of providers. Sedation Resource supports these doctors with everything they need to equip their offices to be safer and better.”

With a patient population that spans young adults to those of advanced age, Dr. Lee offers comprehensive dental care to his patients, almost all of whom are treated while under some form of anesthesia. Treatments range from cleanings, restorations, and root canal treatment to extractions and implants.

 

"Many patients are referred to us by different sources because they're specifically looking for a dentist who offers general anesthesia and IV sedation for their dental treatment," he explained.

 

Bluetooth Sedation Stethoscope

 

What’s at the top of his list of "can’t be without" equipment? Dr. Lee lists the Sedation Stethoscope as a practice essential. Developed and available exclusively from Sedation Resource, this critical tool allows him to detect potential respiratory complications before they escalate into distress, helping him stay 1 step ahead during sedation procedures.

 

“Sedation Resource has been in business for so long and they have so many contacts and such a large customer base that I believe they’ve really seen it all,” Dr. Lee said. “If they aren’t able to problem solve a certain situation, they have the resources to connect the customer with whatever is needed. They want to see clinicians succeed, and they want to be with us throughout the length of our practice. These are sophisticated devices, and occasionally things go wrong—that’s why it’s so important to have a company like Sedation Resource that can help take care of any problem that may arise as quickly as possible.”

More Sedation Essentials

 

In addition to supplies ranging from emergency equipment to the IV and airway products involved with sedation, Dr. Lee has purchased all of his Edan and Mindray patient monitors from Sedation Resource, even though most of the accessories, as well as the monitors, are widely available from other dental suppliers.

 

Dr. Lee recently incorporated the AccuVein Vein Visualization System, a vein detection instrument that drastically reduces the time and challenges associated with venous access. “We’ve purchased several of the AccuVein instruments,” he added. “This is the most accurate vein finder on the market, and it has really allowed me to be more successful."
