Nervous Patients
Gentle, understanding care for anxious patients. We help people who have avoided the dentist for years feel safe, comfortable and back in control.
You Are Not Alone
Dental anxiety affects a significant number of adults. Some people avoid the dentist for years, or even decades, because of fear or a previous bad experience. We understand, and we don't judge.
Our team is trained to care for nervous patients with compassion, patience and skill. We take things at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and never rush you. Many patients who once dreaded coming to us now attend regularly without a second thought.

IV Conscious Sedation
What Is It?
IV sedation is the most effective way to manage significant dental anxiety. A sedative medication is administered intravenously, producing a deeply relaxed, dream-like state. You remain conscious and responsive, but feel completely calm and at ease.
What to Expect
Most patients remember little to nothing of the appointment. Complex treatments that might otherwise require multiple visits can often be completed in a single session.
Safety
Administered by a qualified sedationist with continuous monitoring throughout. You remain conscious and able to respond. Requires a responsible adult to escort you home.
Pricing
Dental treatment fees are in addition to sedation fees. Please call us to discuss your needs.
