Patient Comfort

We understand that in addition to being numb, a patient must be relaxed in order to be comfortable in a dental environment. Pain and anxiety are closely related. Pain tolerance varies greatly between individuals. For some, dental treatment is no more difficult than a hair cut; for others, just walking through the door is an act of courage. We cater to cowards.

Relaxation techniques include: head phones for musical relaxation, pre-medication, nitrous oxide analgesia (laughing gas) and plain old-fashioned TLC.

Local anesthetics have improved greatly over the past few years. In addition to a variety of new drugs which vary in potency and length of action. We are currently using a new delivery system called the Wand. The Wand is a computerized drip which is barely detectable when administered following topical anesthesia.

We take pain control very seriously and will work with you to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
