At Vesper Institute, we’re revolutionizing dental care through education and innovation.

With over 45 years of experience, Dr. Scott Sayre has faced many challenges similar to those you experience daily. Early in his career, he earned an IV sedation certification, but it took years to fully understand its transformative power.
Like most general dentists, Dr. Sayre struggled with attracting new patients, retaining staff, and providing the highest quality care. However, everything changed when he embraced IV sedation as the core focus of his Advance Dentistry practice.

By rebranding as the “No Fear Dentist,” he addressed the number one patient concern – fear.
Not only did this attract more patients but it also created an environment where every patient appreciated their dental experience.
Today, he oversees four practices in Cincinnati and Columbus, each more profitable than five average dental offices combined. Inspired by the positive impact IV sedation has had on his patients and his practice, Dr. Sayre founded Vesper Institute.
Patients want to be comfortable, often preferring to be “knocked out” for treatment. However, very few dentists offer IV sedation .
Most dentists find the current standard of care sufficient. We don’t.
That’s why Dr. Sayre was inspired to create Vesper Institute, an innovative dental education center. Although we offer CE on a variety of topics, our world-class IV sedation certification program is the cornerstone of our training.
According to Dr. Stanley Malamed, 86% of dentists who earn their IV sedation certification don’t use it. We aim to close that gap.
For us, success means that 100% of our graduates are confident in starting an IV the Monday they return to their practice.
That’s why our program is designed by faculty who have been safely practicing for over 45 years and who have completed a combined 100,000 IV sedation cases.
They won’t just train you to “do” IV sedation, they train you to implement IV sedation.
To provide the highest quality continuing education for dental professionals so they can provide the highest quality care to their patients.
We envision a future where patients seeking a comfortable dental experience don’t have to search hard to find it. By making IV sedation training more accessible to dentists, we aim to revolutionize the industry, simultaneously improving patient outcomes and enhancing the lives of dental professionals.
Help us establish a network of “No Fear Dentists” dedicated to exceptional care. Ready to join us on this journey?
Our program goes beyond certification – it’s a pathway to a more focused, profitable, and fulfilling dental life.
