Afraid of the Dentist? You Might Be Exactly Who We’re Here For
If every dental office focused on creating wonderful experiences, the No Fear Dentist might not exist.
For a lot of people, the word “dentist” doesn’t bring up thoughts of cleanings and healthy smiles. It brings up old memories, nervous feelings, and the kind of appointment they’ve been meaning to schedule for months.
Advance Dentistry was built to help nervous patients. That isn’t something we added to a long list of services — it’s the entire reason we’re here. Everything about our practice is designed to help people who have been avoiding the dentist finally feel comfortable.
You Don’t Have to Be Brave
Some people think they need to conquer their fear before making an appointment. We disagree.
You don’t have to force yourself to be fearless or pretend you’re okay. There’s no reason to apologize for canceling past appointments or explain why it’s been ten years since your last cleaning. You just have to show up.
Our team knows that dental anxiety is real. We take the time to answer your questions, explain what’s happening, and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There’s no judgment, and no lectures.
What If You Could Sleep Through It?
For many patients, IV sedation changes everything.
Instead of spending days worrying about your appointment, you can relax knowing you’ll be deeply comfortable during treatment. Many patients remember little (or nothing) about their procedure afterward, allowing them to finally get the care they’ve been putting off.
In many cases, more treatment can even be completed in fewer visits with IV sedation, meaning fewer appointments on your calendar and fewer reasons to feel anxious. For someone who has avoided the dentist for years, that can be life-changing.
Your First Visit Isn’t About Selling You Anything
One of the hardest parts of calling a dentist is wondering what’s waiting on the other end. Will they judge you, or pressure you? Will they immediately start talking about expensive treatment? That’s not how we do things.
Your first visit includes a complimentary consultation, exam, and X-rays, so we can get to know you, understand your concerns, and talk about your options. We want you to use your dental benefits for treatment, not for simply finding out what’s going on.
Imagine Never Dreading the Dentist Again
People are often surprised after their first visit, because it wasn’t nearly as scary as they’d imagined!
Fear has a funny way of growing bigger the longer we avoid something. Once you walk through the doors, meet a team that understands dental anxiety, and experience care that’s built around that, it’s amazing how much smaller that fear can feel.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally take care of your smile, this is it. We’ll meet you exactly where you are. And we’ll help you leave feeling better than when you walked in.
