When people think about dental sedation, they often picture a pill or a mask delivering laughing gas. What we offer at Uxbridge Dental Specialists is fundamentally different, and the difference begins with the credentials of our anaesthesiology team.

Two of our dentists hold certification as specialists in dental anaesthesiology from the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario. In a country of 38 million people, approximately 50 dentists hold this designation. We have two of them, right here in Uxbridge, ON.

This certification is not a weekend course or an add-on qualification. Achieving it requires completing a formal multi-year residency program at an accredited institution, dedicating thousands of hours to supervised hands-on training across a wide range of patient ages, medical histories, and clinical scenarios, and successfully completing comprehensive written and oral board examinations. It grants our anaesthesiologists the legal authority and clinical expertise to administer any level of anaesthesia, from mild conscious sedation through to full general anaesthesia, and to customize the anaesthetic in real time to each individual patient’s needs.

For patients in Uxbridge and Durham Region, choosing our practice means your anaesthetic care is in the hands of two of the most qualified dental anaesthesiologists in the country.

Credentials matter. Experience matters equally. Our dental anaesthesiology team brings both to every patient encounter.

Dr. Jeffrey Yasny completed a two-year residency in dental anaesthesiology at the prestigious Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, New York, followed by a rare additional three-year fellowship, one of very few practitioners in North America to have undertaken both. He held the position of Assistant Professor in both the Departments of Anesthesiology and Dentistry at Mount Sinai, has supervised and taught anaesthesiology, oral surgery, and pediatric dental residents, and has provided anaesthetics to more than 10,000 patients of all ages and medical backgrounds over more than 20 years of practice. He is also a continuing education director, national and international lecturer, and published author in several highly respected medical and dental journals.

Dr. Jonathan Campbell completed his three-year residency in dental anaesthesiology at the University of Toronto and currently serves as president of the Canadian Academy of Dental Anesthesia. He is deeply committed to advancing the field of dental anaesthesiology and brings that dedication to every patient he treats at our Uxbridge practice.

Together, their combined credentials, clinical experience, and patient volume represent a standard of anaesthetic care that is genuinely exceptional, not just within Durham Region, but across Canada.

Having two certified dental anaesthesiologists on staff is not simply a matter of scheduling flexibility. It means that every patient who receives anaesthetic care at our Uxbridge practice benefits from a dedicated specialist whose sole focus during the procedure is their safety and comfort, while the treating dentist focuses entirely on the dental work being performed.

It means that our practice can deliver a consistently high standard of anaesthetic care across a broader range of procedures, patient ages, and clinical complexities. And it means that our patients have access to two distinct bodies of expertise, two sets of world-class credentials, and two practitioners who together represent some of the most experienced dental anaesthesiologists practicing in Canada today.

For patients in Uxbridge, Durham Region, and the surrounding communities of Port Perry, Whitby, Ajax, Stouffville, and Pickering, this level of anaesthetic expertise is available without the need to travel to a major hospital or urban centre. It is right here, close to home, and it is ready to help you receive the dental care you need in complete comfort and safety.
