I'm afraid of dental visits. How can you help me?

Along with a comforting atmosphere and a supportive team, we offer sedation dentistry to help our anxious patients relax. With nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, we can tailor the level of relaxation to fit your needs.

Addressing Common Causes of Dental Anxiety

There are many sources of dental anxiety. Understanding the underlying reasons helps our dental team address these concerns and provides much-needed peace of mind.

  • Fear of Pain — Our gentle techniques, paired with sedation, ensure a pain-free, comfortable procedure.
  • Past Traumatic Experience — We take time to listen to your concerns and create a safe, compassionate environment where you feel in control.
  • Fear of Needles — For those anxious about injections, sedation can help you relax before we begin the numbing process.
  • Vulnerability — With honesty and open communication, we’ll explain what to expect so you feel more in control of the process.
