What inspired me to start Vesper is my feeling that we were not really treating patients as we should. You can go to the hospital, you can have a carpal tunnel done with anesthesia. You can have minor procedures completed that way. And in dentistry, complicated cases, special needs patients, medically compromised patients, and we don’t have enough people to help with anesthesia and sedation. So it is just a vision of mine to really get this out in the dental community.
Hi, I’m Dr. Scott Sayre. I’m the founder of Vesper Institute. I’ve been practicing dentistry for 47 years, doing IV sedation the entire time.
This is the first class of this type where we’re really trying to do hands-on in the office, really trying to show doctors how safe it is, what they can do with it, rather than just putting them through a round circle so that they can get in front of their state boards and get certified.
Just because you’re certified doesn’t mean you’re safe. It doesn’t mean that you understand how to do it. You have the equipment or anything else. We’re trying to make sure that we’re holding hands of these doctors that come through here so that they can really implement this in their office.
The cases that we have these doctors do are varied. They’re longer, shorter. We will show them things that maybe in their offices the first couple years, this is what you should not do. Why take on a difficult special needs patient when you’re not to that level yet? Why take on an older patient or a medically compromised patient when you’re not ready for that? We want them to see all of these things so that they know where their boundaries are.
What’s really remarkable is how these doctors start off slowly and then they get better at it. And with the Vesper Institute, we also want them to call us, to call Dr. Roberson, to call Dr. Reznick or myself, should I do this case? Is this going to be too difficult? What would you say are the medications that we should use? How do we approach it so that it’s safer for everybody? It’s been remarkable. We’ve had several cohorts go through and the docs have really appreciated what we’ve taught them.
Our program goes beyond certification – it’s a pathway to a more focused, profitable, and fulfilling dental life.
