Shelby Township Dentist Offers Options for Fear

Hi this is Dr. Antolak from thegentledentist.com in Shelby Township, Michigan. Our phone number is (586) 247 3500. This is January of 2013 when I’m recording this. And we believe that it’s important in part of the New Year’s resolution process to include dentistry with some of their New Year’s resolutions. If you’ve been putting off dental care for a period of time, I believe it’s time to get over that fear and come and see us. And the reason why I say that is because we offer a fair number of solutions for you if this is something that you’ve been doing. If it’s about finances, we have some ways of doing some financing over a period of time.   If it’s because you don’t have insurance, we have our general dental plan, which covers, two cleanings, two examinations, and as many extras as you need. And then you get 12% off of any additional services that you need and is only $247 a year. So that’s a very great value and it could get you through that excuse of not being able to have insurance. And so we want to help you transition that process too. If it’s nervousness and if you’re afraid of the dentist I’ve been in practice for 25 years. And in all of those 25 years, I’ve really worked hard on making sure that your dental care be as comfortable as possible.  We have a number of patients who I’ll proudly brag about us for our level of comfort that we do provide for them. If it’s fear we have station dentistry where you can come in and have as much dentistry. You know, we can see you for 3, 4 hours using sedation. Basically using a little pill, it’s called oral sedation by using a little pill before your appointment, take a nap and then I’ll be monitoring your heart rate and your blood pressure, your oxygen to make sure it’s a safe procedure. You will have basically hardly any memory, or no memory at all, of the procedure and you’ll be very comfortable when you come in.

We also use nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is an inhalation, laughing gas that it’s known as. And you breathe through your nose. And it has a very euphoric feeling to it. So, you kind of put yourself a little bit spacey, a little outside your normal realm of feeling. And it has an amnesia effect on it too. It just relaxes you, and makes it much more of a tranquil type of feeling.

If it’s sound that you’re concerned about we have headphones, wireless, noise cancelling headphones that you can use and hook up right to your or to our iPhone that we have. If it’s a longer procedure you have and you just want to be entertained we have some special glasses that we can have you put on, and we are connected with Netflix. And, using Netflix gives us the ability to hook in wirelessly with our small server, and you can watch a movie with our small glasses that we use to do that. So we are equipped for almost anything that you come with. I know that fear is a real thing, and what’s most importantly that I believe in, is the fact that, we will listen to your needs first before we start recommending any type of treatment.

We want to get to know you as our client. And then get to know you really as a friend. It’s important that we generate a good relationship first before we start doing any type of dental care on you; because trust is one of the biggest factors in dentistry and it’s the thing that has really separated high fear patients with old dental providers who didn’t really care about how you felt, but today’s different in dentistry. Certainly, at the Gentle Dentist, we do take that need seriously. Come and check us out. Call us up at (586) 247-3500. Thank you and have a blessed day.
