A gentle, understanding approach for nervous patients
Dental anxiety is incredibly common—you're not alone. Whether your fear stems from a past bad experience, fear of pain, or just general nervousness, we're here to help you overcome it.
At American Dental Group, we've created a calm, welcoming environment and offer sedation options to help you get the care you need. Our gentle, patient team will never rush you or make you feel embarrassed about your anxiety.
Nitrous Oxide ("Laughing Gas")
Breathe in through a mask and feel relaxed within minutes. Wears off quickly so you can drive yourself home.
Oral Sedation
Take a pill before your appointment for deeper relaxation. You'll be awake but very calm. Requires a driver.
Local Anesthesia
We use the most effective numbing techniques so you won't feel pain during procedures.
Comfort Amenities
Headphones, TVs, blankets, and a caring team all help make your visit more comfortable.
Strategies that can help before and during your visit
Tell us about your fears. We can adjust our approach and explain everything step by step.
Book a morning appointment when you're well-rested and haven't had all day to worry.
Skip coffee on appointment day. Caffeine can increase anxiety and make you more jittery.
Take the first step. We promise to make it easier than you expect.
