Sleepytime Surgery Center is a dedicated surgical facility designed to provide safe, comfortable care for children undergoing dental procedures under general anesthesia. The facility is operated by a highly skilled team of CRNAs, RNs, and an anesthesiologist, and is used by the Hines Little Smiles Pediatric Dentistry team as well as other dental providers who bring their patients here for surgery. Located right next door to Hines Little Smiles, Sleepytime Surgery Center makes it easier for families to access comprehensive dental care in a safe, specialized setting.

Each child has unique needs, and we love serving those with developmental disabilities, behavioral or sensory issues, anxiety, or physical limitations. We specialize in treating children who need a little extra care.

understanding

We’ve created a safe space with no judgment. Whether your child has never been to the dentist or has multiple cavities, we welcome everyone at every stage and treat them with respect and kindness.

why

we’re here

Across Ohio, families needing hospital dentistry for their child can experience long waitlists while their little one sits in pain or discomfort. We wanted to change all that.


We created a dedicated surgery center just for pediatric dental cases. No competing with other specialties. No endless waitlists. Specialized care with expertise you already trust, all on a timeline that respects their needs and your time.

General anesthesia can bring up big feelings, and we get it. All you want is for your child to get exactly the care they need in the safest, most comfortable way possible. That’s why, from the second you walk through our doors, you’ll feel this is the right place for your child.


Our anesthesiology group is widely respected and renowned across the dental community. Every nurse, tech, and team member is the best of the best. We’ve built this specialty experience around a top-notch team who knows exactly what they’re doing and does it exceptionally well.

Check in

Just like any other dental appointment. You’ll be greeted with smiling faces in a welcoming space without the cold hospital feeling you might expect.

Your own private room

No shared curtains or waiting rooms full of strangers. Your family gets a peaceful, private space from the moment you arrive.

Meeting the team

A nurse will walk you through exactly what anesthesia will look like for your child, so nothing feels like a surprise. You’ll meet the anesthesiologist directly to get every question answered. Lastly, you’ll meet with your pediatric dentist to walk through every step of the procedure.

Staying close

One parent goes back with your child so you’re right there by their side and the last face they see before drifting off.

During the procedure

You'll head to your own private room to wait comfortably while our exceptional team of pediatric specialists completes the full scope of treatment your child needs.

Rest & recovery

Once treatment is complete, your child moves to a recovery room staffed by compassionate nurses trained specifically in pediatric wake-up. Your pediatric dentist will meet with you to walk through everything that was done, along with clear aftercare instructions and tips for the coming days.

Waking up

We know that one of the hardest parts of your child's procedure can be waiting to see them again. Once your child's dental treatment is complete and our anesthesia team has determined that it is safe, we will reunite you with your child as soon as possible!
