Feeling nervous or anxious about going to the dentist is common. Whether due to a past experience, fear of discomfort, or general unease about dental procedures, dental anxiety can make it difficult for individuals to receive the dental care they need and deserve. At ABN Family Dental in Aurora, we offer a supportive and understanding approach to help manage dental anxiety so that patients can feel more at ease during their appointments.
At ABN Family Dental, we aim to make each visit as calm and comfortable as possible. Our team takes the time to listen to patients’ concerns and works with them to create a personalized plan that helps reduce stress and anxiety during treatment. Some of the ways we help manage dental anxiety include:
Many patients feel more comfortable when they understand what to expect. We explain procedures clearly, answer any questions and check in throughout the appointment to make sure the patient feels in control. Patients are encouraged to express their concerns before and during their visit.
A relaxed and welcoming environment can make a big difference for patients dealing with dental anxiety. Our Aurora dental office is designed to be calm and low-stress, and we allow extra time for those who need a slower, more deliberate pace.
For patients who require additional support in managing their anxiety, our dental team is pleased to offer sedation options. These can be tailored to the level of anxiety you’re experiencing and the nature of the dental treatment you’re receiving.
The level of sedation that is best for our dentist can determine you during your consultation.
If you feel anxious about dental visits, it’s helpful to let our dental team know when you’re booking your appointment. Sharing this information in advance allows our team to prepare for your visit with your comfort in mind. Many patients find that simply discussing their concerns with us can reduce their anxiety before treatment begins.
Before, during, and even after your procedure, our team is dedicated to ensuring you are relaxed and at ease and that your individual needs are met with compassion and understanding.
ABN Family Dental offers sedation as a way to ensure patients with dental phobia and dental anxiety have a stress-free appointment. Whether it’s with nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation, we have various options suitable for patients with different needs or those with severe dental anxiety. Combined with our approach to ensuring we communicate openly with patients and creating a gentle, supportive and reassuring environment, patients can rest assured knowing their dental health is well-maintained. Contact us today to book an appointment, and we’ll walk you through what to expect when receiving dental treatment under sedation.
