The staff is super helpful and friendly! They take the time to explain and teach the young ones. They communicate via text occasionally which is much more convenient than getting on the phone sometimes! All good things from this group. They have a client for life. Even my eldest until he aged out of my family insurance came back for his cleanings rather than find one closer to his home!

Dr. Narendra and Brandy are the best. I had such a wonderful experience. The procedure went smooth. I did not feel any pain at all because they scheduled the proper time in between medication perfectly. No swelling or pain at all. Wonderful job.

Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling. She has been so helpful to me especially during times when there was difficulty getting my insurer to approve specialty treatments. I would also like to point out all the pleasant conversations I had with Daisha... Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling.

What sedation options do you offer for anxious patients?

We offer multiple sedation options tailored to your comfort needs. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides gentle relaxation with no downtime required afterward. For deeper relaxation, we can prescribe oral sedation medication to take before your appointment. In cases where more comprehensive anxiety management is needed, we also provide IV sedation and general anesthesia options.

What accommodations do you make for patients with severe dental anxiety?

We've designed our entire practice environment with anxious patients in mind. We encourage patients to take breaks whenever needed during treatments to maintain comfort and control. Our team explains each procedure step-by-step before beginning, eliminating unwelcome surprises. For patients with severe anxiety, we create customized treatment plans that gradually build comfort over multiple shorter appointments.

How can I prepare for my dental appointment to reduce anxiety?

We recommend scheduling your appointment during a less stressful time in your day or week. Practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation beforehand can help calm your nervous system. It's helpful to avoid caffeine or sugary foods before your visit to prevent heightened anxiety. Feel free to bring headphones with your favorite calming music or podcast to help you relax during treatment.
