Infinity Sedation Dentistry started in Sioux Falls in 2013 under the name Sioux Falls Implant and Sedation Dentistry. As of April 2024, the clinic operates by prioritizing patient needs with specialists all under one roof. 

Director of operations Tanner Robbins reflects on the practice’s rich history, which began with Dr. Brian Prouty’s pioneering vision nearly two decades ago. 

“Dr. Prouty started this journey with a fundamental belief that dental care needed to be more accessible and compassionate, especially for those dealing with anxiety,” explained Robbins. “He built this practice with just six team members, and it’s remarkable that four of those original employees are still here today.”

The foundation, focusing on patient comfort and “non-judgmental care,” provided the perfect springboard for the practice’s evolution into what Infinity Sedation Dentistry has become today, Robbins says.

“Bringing specialists under one roof, we are enhancing the core principle of providing comprehensive care, especially for anxious patients,” said Robbins.

Dental issues can cause many health issues. Infinity aims to combat those issues, while working with trusted partners in town.

Robbins says along with patients’ needs, safety is the top priority. The Infinity sedation team is experienced, certified, and ensures safe treatment. 

“We have board-certified anesthesiologists, CRNAs, and a great team of nurses,” said Robbins. “We only bring in highly trained nurses with at least 10 years of ICU experience. They do a full workup of the patients to make sure they’re healthy enough to undergo sedation.”

Patients are able to get years of dental work done in one appointment, accommodating people who have avoided the dentist out of fear, trauma, or anxiety.     

“This way patients are asleep, comfortable, and wake up with all the work done,” said Robbins. “In some cases, you go from six appointments down to one or two. It saves you time and hassle.”

Robbins explains dentistry as it relates to oral surgery can be done in a more efficient manner, which is what the practice envisioned.

“Infinity is an expansion of dentistry services, and an expansion of the vision that if we can do dentistry differently, we can do dentistry in a better way,” said Robbins.

Robbins highlighted the work oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Andrew Hille has been doing for the past 20 years in private practice, which he started with his father Dr. Robert Hille and now practices at Infinity.

“Dr. Hille is here doing full scope oral surgery,” explained Robbins. “We want to break down the barriers between the dental offices and between the dental professionals, because there’s a lot of good we can do together.”

Infinity is already working with multiple providers who treat patients at the Infinity clinic. 

“We have four providers already bringing their patients over. Here, they build the sense of community,” Robbins commented.

Along with referrals, Infinity also welcomes walk-in patients.


The Process

Infinity Sedation Dentistry has a three step process for patients:

Step one: Personal Consultation 
Step two: Customized Sedation Plan 
Step three: Comprehensive Care 

“We have two dentists on staff to cover the patients who come in without a referral,” said Robbins. “They are consulted with and are cared for by our dentists and in-house specialists.”

Depending on the specific treatment plan and whether or not a follow-up appointment is needed, Infinity aims to get everything done in the fewest number of appointments possible. They also try to resolve any underlying dental-related anxiety.

Robbins says they try to address the issue of why you haven’t been to the dentist. 

“What we do is we try to get you back up to a baseline,” said Robbins. “If there’s six or seven different things, we will walk you through that treatment plan.”

Building a strong dental community in turn builds a stronger community as a whole, elaborates Robbins.

“We want to build a community of dentists that love working with each other, are really good friends, are very close clinically, and do not view each other as competitive.”
