Treatment
for the high fear patient
We
know that many patients are apprehensive about going to the dentist and pride ourselves on our ability to help each patient feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible while receiving dental care. We offer several options to make your visit as comfortable and pain-free as possible:
| "For
so long whenever I would smile I would keep
my mouth closed avoiding being in front of a
camera. Instead of having my picture taken I
would always be the photographer. Now after
having Dr. Antolak gave me a new smile with
veneers I am a new person. Sometimes I have
to remind myself that I can smile now, really
smile. It’s a great feeling! We now have
more pictures of me smiling confidently with
our son instead of me always taking the pictures."

You can always stop treatment simply by raising your hand.
- We
use virtual reality glasses attached to a DVD player which
allow you to watch your favorite movie during treatment.
- Warm
parafin wax treatments help get your hands pampered and
promote relaxation.
- Listen
to special music with our noise canceling headphones.
- We
make sure you are adequately numbed before we even begin.
- We
offer Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) and sedation dentistry
or Dream Dentistry to help you feel completely comfortable.
Sedation
Dentistry is referred to as “Dream Dentistry”
at our office because it makes treatment just that, a dream.
Sedation dentistry is safe and painless. Anxiety is controlled
using what is called oral conscious sedation or a simple,
safe sleeping pill before and during your treatment. You
will become drowsy to the point of falling asleep during
treatment and have no memory of the visit. Can you imagine
yourself sleeping through your dental visit? Sedation dentistry
is ideal for patients who are fearful of going to the dentist,
would like to get extensive treatment done in one long visit
rather than making several trips to the dentist, and for
those with a strong gag reflex. Perhaps you have heard our commericals
about sedation dentistry on WCSX, WWJ and WOMC.
