You CAN conquer your dental fears!

My practice has specialized in the treatment of phobic and anxious dental patients for over 38 years. We take a safe behavioral approach to help you truly overcome your fears so that you can maintain your health for life.  There are many reasons for dental fears and the most important thing to remember is that in our office you will NEVER be made to feel embarrassed by your fears. Our entire staff is trained to be supportive and understanding of these fears.  Modern dentistry offers so many predictably painless procedures including the injection of Novacaine!

We go out of our way in our office to provide a relaxing and comforting environment. Even though we have aromatherapy in the office, offer noise reduction headphones, neck and back pillows, and even foot massages during treatment, the most important thing we offer is proper listening skills to personally address your fears and help you conquer them. We use a behavioral approach to desensitize you to your previous fearful experiences. We not only help you achieve your oral health but conquering your fears will help you maintain that health over time.

Sedation dentistry is only used for invasive surgical procedures.  We believe the use of sedation dentistry for routine dentistry does NOT help you conquer your fears and there are many compromised procedures due to your inability to participate in the procedures (improper fitting and adjustment of restorations because it’s impractical to sedate you for a 10 minute fitting, the dentist having to rush through complex procedures because there are time limits of anesthetics, your inability to bite down to test things while sedated, etc.)

We have over a 98% success rate in helping our patients conquer their fears and stay healthy for life.

With modern dentistry, it’s NEVER  too late!
