Before you book
Five-minute checklist before you call
Federal data tells you a dentist exists and is enumerated. It does not confirm insurance acceptance, current availability, or office fit. Use this list when you call so the visit isn’t a surprise.
Confirm insurance & out-of-pocket cost
- “Do you accept my exact insurance plan? (give the carrier, plan name, and member ID)”
- “Are you accepting new Minnesota Health Care Programs patients right now?”
- “What is the out-of-pocket cost I should expect for the type of visit I need?”
- “If you are out of network for me, can you bill my insurer or only me?”
Verify the dentist & availability
- “Is James Lipon the dentist who will see me, or another provider in the practice?”
- “Are you accepting new patients? When is the next available appointment?”
- “Will the same dentist handle follow-up visits, or rotate?”
Verify the license yourself

Match office services to your needs
- “Do you offer emergency or same-day appointments? After-hours number?”
- “What languages do your front desk and clinical staff speak?”
- “Is the office wheelchair-accessible? Any accommodations available on request?”
- “What sedation levels do you offer (nitrous, oral, IV, general anesthesia), and where is anesthesia administered?”
- “Do you treat pediatric patients in this practice, or refer them to a pediatric dentist?”

What is a dentist anesthesiologist?
A dental anesthesiologist provides anesthesia for dental procedures, typically for patients who can't tolerate care awake — young children, special-needs patients, or patients with severe dental phobia. They work with general dentists and specialists to provide IV sedation or general anesthesia in-office or hospital-based.
Training. After dental school, a dental anesthesiologist completes a 3-year accredited residency in anesthesiology. Board certification is through the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology.
