| For many people, going to the dentist is not their favorite thing to do. Here are some common reasons that people avoid the dentist, and an explanation of how your experience at our office will put you at ease.
“I’m afraid to go to the dentist“
We are good listeners. Our goal is to make you totally comfortable, offer you options, and proceed with necessary treatment only when you are ready.
“It hurts”
We use oral sedation and other techniques to make your visit to our office very pleasant. We will review all your options with you before treatment begins to make sure that you have a good experience here. You may be surprised at how comfortable modern dentistry can be.
“It’s expensive”
We will work with you to help you select a treatment plan that fits your budget. Sometimes treatment can be phased over a period of time. We also offer financing plans that allow you to stretch out payments over many months. We invite you to ask questions, and will review all financial options with you in detail before any treatment begins.
“I feel guilty or embarrassed about my teeth”
We see ourselves as educators. We want to explain needed treatment to you so that you feel positive and motivated to pursue excellent oral health. We will not dwell on the past, but instead look to the opportunities you have in the future to enjoy the benefits of optimal oral health.
“It takes too much time”
We promise to respect your time. New patients can print out and complete the health questionnaire and turn it in when they arrive. We want to give you the best possible care in the least amount of time, because we recognize that you have a busy schedule.
