Clear Communication

One of the key factors in reducing anxiety is knowing what to expect. We ensure that our patients are well-informed about their treatments. Our dentists explain procedures in detail, using simple language, and are happy to answer any questions. We also discuss various options, so you can make informed decisions about your dental care. Our website is also full of great information on what to expect when visiting our office and specific services we offer.


Gentle and Compassionate Care

We prioritize gentle care. Our team uses the latest techniques and technologies to ensure that treatments are as pain-free as possible. We are experienced in working with patients who have dental anxiety and use a compassionate approach to help them feel at ease.


Pain and Anxiety Relief During Dental Work

For patients we offer oral medication to decrease anxiety and can administer nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas, to help with both discomfort and anxiety. These options help patients relax during their treatment, making the experience more comfortable and less stressful.


Exam Room Amenities

To ensure utmost comfort during patient visits, we provide various amenities in our exam rooms. Blankets are available to keep patients warm throughout treatment. We understand that a comfortable environment can significantly reduce anxiety and help you relax. We also offer headphones so patients can listen to their favorite music, audiobooks, or podcasts, helping them stay calm and distracted.


Post-Treatment Support

Your comfort is important to us even after your appointment. We provide thorough post-treatment instructions and are available to answer any questions or concerns you might have once you leave the office. Our follow-up calls ensure that you are healing well and feeling good about your dental care.
