I think anxiety at the dental office is ubiquitous, and everybody has some anxiety. Some people have a lot of anxiety. I have family members myself, my wife included, who has a lot of anxiety about coming to the dentist. So one of the passions of mine here is to try and make that comfortable for you. And that can come in the form of listening. That can come in the form of somebody holding your hand during your treatment. Sometimes it can come in the form of taking medication before you come in to just decrease your anxiety level and make it more comforting and make it more enjoyable for you to come to the dentist.
Overcome Your Dental Fears for a Healthier Smile
Your dentists will do everything possible to give you the best dental care experience. Our team knows that many patients dealing with anxiety typically have faced bad experiences in the past. We respect that and will treat you with the care and compassion you deserve.
Here are a few ways we make your visit a comfortable experience:
- Sedation Options – You can relax with laughing gas to reduce your nerves and help you feel more calm. Oral sedation is also available to minimize your anxiety. With oral sedation, you’ll need to arrange for a ride home after your appointment.
- Comfort-Enhancing Technology – Our practice uses the latest dental technology to make your visits go smoothly. Digital X-rays and intraoral cameras capture images of your mouth quickly and efficiently. Other equipment, such as lasers and 3-D scanners, ensures more comfortable treatments.
- Private Care Room – Our office has private patient care rooms available, so you can have a conversation with your dentist in peace.
- Calming Staff – Our staff will help you understand what’s involved with any procedure. We’ll take time to get to know you personally, so we can offer care that’s specific to your unique dental journey.
If there are other ways our team can minimize your dental fears, let us know. If you’d like to visit us during quiet office hours, ask our team about that option when making an appointment.
