About NOVA Dental Anesthesia

Redefining Dental Care Through Anesthesiology

NOVA Dental Anesthesia was founded on a simple but powerful belief: every patient deserves access to comfortable, anxiety-free dental care — regardless of their fears, medical conditions, or past experiences.

Our Mission

Removing Every Barrier to Dental Health

Many people want dental care — but fear, anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or a medical condition keeps getting in the way. At NOVA Dental Anesthesia, we remove every barrier between you and a healthy smile.

Dr. Ali's unique background as both a dentist and an anesthesiologist allows him to provide a level of care that simply isn't available at a typical dental practice. From routine cleanings to full-mouth reconstruction, every procedure is performed with the safety and comfort of expert anesthesiology.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Patients Choose NOVA Dental Anesthesia

Hospital-Level Safety

Dr. Ali completed his anesthesia residency at NYU Lutheran Medical Center — a Level 1 Trauma Center. He brings the same protocols and monitoring standards used in hospital operating rooms to every dental appointment.

In-House Anesthesiology

Unlike most dental practices that refer out for sedation or bring in outside anesthesiologists, Dr. Ali personally administers and monitors all sedation. This means seamless, coordinated care under one roof.

Inclusive Patient Care

We specialize in patients who have been turned away or underserved elsewhere — including those with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, dementia, severe anxiety, and complex medical histories.

Comprehensive Services

From routine preventive care to full-arch implant reconstruction, we offer a complete range of dental services — all with the option of sedation for patients who need it.

Personalized Treatment Plans

No two patients are alike. Dr. Ali develops individualized sedation and treatment plans based on each patient's medical history, anxiety level, and clinical needs.

Transparent Communication

We believe patients deserve to understand their options. Dr. Ali takes time to explain every sedation option, procedure, and expected outcome before any treatment begins.

Who Benefits Most

Who Benefits Most from a Dentist Anesthesiologist?

While any patient can benefit from the added comfort and safety of expert sedation, certain groups particularly benefit from care by a dentist anesthesiologist:

Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety or dental phobia
Patients with a strong gag reflex that makes treatment difficult
Patients who need extensive or complex treatment completed in fewer appointments
Pediatric patients who cannot cooperate with treatment under local anesthesia alone
Geriatric patients with cognitive decline or dementia
Patients with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, or cerebral palsy
Medically compromised patients who require careful anesthesia management
Patients who have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
