Some patients deal with dental anxiety because of a previous bad experience. When you come in for your appointment, Dr. Rawlings and our entire team will take time to get to know you and your oral health history. We’ll discuss what bothers you about the dentist so we can use strategies to address it.

You’ll never be rushed during your appointment. Instead, you’ll realize we see you as more than just another patient. We treat you like family!

However, that’s only one way we help our patients feel comfortable during their visit. We offer:

  • Sedation Options – We use a local anesthetic, so you don’t feel a thing during treatment. However, sedation is available too. We offer laughing gas if you need to take the edge off your anxiety. You can take oral sedation if you need extra help remaining calm. Dr. Rawlings will discuss which is ideal for you.
  • Dental Technology – Modern technology is another way we make your appointments go smoothly. For example, digital X-rays quickly capture images of your mouth and expose you to less radiation. Our digital scanners produce impressions of your teeth without messy trays of goop.
  • Patient Education – We want you to completely understand your treatments. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions. Dr. Rawlings will ensure you know your options before moving forward with any procedure. You’ll also leave with tips on how to improve your at-home oral care routine.

Many cozy amenities are available. You can warm up with a soft blanket or block out the sounds of our equipment with headphones. There’s no reason to feel nervous when you choose Colorado Smiles!

Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?

We believe the more you prepare at home, the better your dental experience will be. If you start to feel anxious about your dental work, take six to 10 deep breaths slowly. Doing so will help you relax and lower your heart rate. It also helps to picture yourself lying back comfortably in the dental chair. When it comes time for your appointment, you can also use these techniques in our office.
