Most important part of that is making sure that someone's comfortable when they're here. We're trying to relieve any worries, any anxieties that they might have and get them through or help them through whatever type of procedure they're having pain-free, where they don't experience discomfort. And generally, if you do that often enough, people's anxiety is reduced in the future, if they have any to begin with, and keep appointments pleasant, comfortable, definitely helps with that.
Many people are able to keep up with routine dental appointments for the sake of their oral and overall health.

Speaker 1:
We try to have a personal relationship with each and every patient, make them feel comfortable and home, and like they're not even at the dentist office. We offer three levels of sedation, first being nitrous oxide, which is readily available and it can be used on almost any procedure. We also offer oral sedation, where we give you a few pills to take before your visit to make things more comfortable for you, take the edge off, sometimes help you sleep. Then also we do IV sedation, where we can administer a few drugs through an IV line to get you either asleep or pretty close to it so that you can get through your appointment and we can get as much work done as we can for that visit.
We believe in truly personalized care. If you would like some privacy during your visit, we have two semi-private operatories. You can also select items from our comfort menu to help put you at ease, including:
- Drink and snack bar
- Warm towels and soft pillows and blankets
- Headphones and soothing music
- Flat-screen TV monitors in each room
- Lip balm
- Heated massage chairs
In addition, our dentists are proud to offer sedation options to ease your dental pain and anxiety. This allows you to feel completely relaxed while you get the dental treatment you need.
