Are you looking to have a better 2019? Would you like to look better, feel better, and save money? There’s one easy way you can do that: improve your oral health (not to mention your heart health!) by making your regular cleaning and checkup visits this year.
Unfortunately, that’s not always as easy as it sounds. The benefits of preventive dentistry in avoiding gum disease are great, but they can’t balance dental fear for many people.
But you don’t have to let dental fear keep you from enjoying better oral and overall health this year. It is possible to overcome your dental anxiety to get the dental care you need and even cosmetic dentistry you might want.
Find a Compassionate Dentist
Not all dentists are the same, especially when it comes to handling anxious patients. You might think you’re afraid of the dentist, but it might be that you’re really afraid of certain dentists–and certain dentist offices. Many dentists book their practice to the brim, trying to maximize profit by seeing as many patients as possible. This doesn’t give them the time to empathize with your concerns, answer your questions, or even remember your name.
But at Advanced Dentistry of Butler, Dr. Bob takes the time to make you feel welcome and safe. Expect to be greeted at the door by name, and expect that everyone, including the assistants and hygienists, will know your name.
Dr. Bob takes the time to explain your procedure and answer all your questions. He wants you to know what’s happening, and makes sure that you’re comfortable at every step of the way.
Not only that, but he’s created a comfortable environment for his dental office. Not only is the lobby comfortable and welcoming, but it’s insulated from smells and sounds (like dental tools) that can trigger anxiety for some patients.
Dr. Bob’s manner makes him beloved of his patients. Many of them come to his office for decades, driving an hour or more to come to our office. They may move to another town, but their dental home stays here because they can’t find another dentist like Dr. Bob. Check out our reviews and read what patients have to say about Dr. Bob.
Sedation Dentistry Options
However, we understand that no matter how welcoming we are, it might not be enough to calm some of our patients. We’re prepared to help in this situation, too. Sedation dentistry can help patients with higher levels of anxiety to overcome their fear.
There are many dentists who offer sedation dentistry, but few who are as well trained and experienced as Dr. Bob. Dr. Bob has trained to deliver the best sedation results for his patients. He is a certified member of DOCS, the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, the standard-bearer for safe, effective oral sedation in dentistry. In addition to his training, Dr. Bob has 40 years of practical experience helping patients overcome their anxiety with sedation dentistry.
