Pain-Free Dentistry Service

Dentistry does not have to be painful—or scary.
Most fears developed years ago in your childhood, therefore you may have avoided receiving care and
as a result, your dental health deteriorates.  

There is nothing to fear anymore. Technology advances have severely decreased anxiety by increasing comfort.

is used to calm and relax a patient prior to and during a

readily responds to verbal or physical stimulation. With moderate sedation the patient is even more relaxed, and will respond
to purposeful stimulation. In deep sedation, the patient may not exhibit any signs of consciousness and therefore be
unresponsive to stimulation. Talk with Dr. Arnett about
