Afraid of the Dentist? You’re Not Alone.
If the thought of going to the dentist makes your heart race or your stomach turn, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and it keeps too many people from getting the care they need.
As an experienced dentist, I’ve worked with countless patients who used to avoid the dentist altogether. That’s why I offer gentle sedation options like nitrous oxide and oral sedation in a calm, welcoming environment — so you can feel relaxed, in control, and completely at ease during your visit.
I believe going to the dentist doesn’t have to feel stressful or scary. And once you experience what a truly supportive dental visit feels like, you might actually look forward to coming back.

What are my options?
Nitrous Oxide
This gentle, inhaled sedation is a great option for patients with mild dental anxiety. Administered through a small nose mask, nitrous oxide helps you feel relaxed and at ease during your procedure. It takes effect quickly and wears off within minutes, so you can safely drive yourself home afterward. We offer nitrous oxide for nearly any treatment—including exams and cleanings.
Mild (or Twilight) Sedation
If you experience moderate dental anxiety or prefer a deeper sense of calm, oral sedation may be right for you. Taken in pill form before your appointment, this type of sedation allows you to remain awake but deeply relaxed. Many patients even drift into a light sleep, most have little to no memory of the procedure and report minimal discomfort. It’s a safe, proven option for making your dental care more comfortable.
