5 Star Review Wayne P

I was so nervous and full of questions but everyone was beyond patient and understanding. Ryan Walker DDS was extremely friendly, and took his time to alleviate my anxiety. I’ve only ever experienced this type of care once before. He didn’t rush me out or dismiss my questions. The actual extractions were painless, and perfectly executed.

5 Star Review Jahel O

I have fears and anxiety w dentists visits. They always make me feel at ease and do any procedures based on whether I’m ready to proceed. I have never been made to feel rushed or that I’m putting them out. And his work is impeccable. I recommend him to anyone that needs a dependable, kind, knowledgeable dentist who really takes care of his patients.

SEDATION DENTISTRY SOLUTIONS

My experience was very pleasant. I called in because I was extreme pain due to a broken wisdom tooth. I was able to be seen the same day. Went into the office everyone there was pleasant and helpful and kind. They immediately let me know I was in good hands. Dr. Ryan was amazing and he shook my hand which gave me reassurance because I was already in pain and nervous. And to top it all off, he called personally to check on me after the visit and make sure everything was ok. I absolutely recommend this facility if you are like me and need emergency dental work.

NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION

Known to be the mildest form of sedation, nitrous oxide is also referred to as laughing gas and is safe to use. Nitrous oxide is administered through a nasal mask that fits over the nose. You’ll be instructed to inhale the mixture until you begin to feel fully relaxed and at ease. One of the great benefits of nitrous oxide is that the effects come on quickly and dissipate just as fast, making it a popular option among patients who experience mild dental anxiety.

ORAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION

We’ll provide you with a pill medication, which you will take before your appointment. Also referred to as oral conscious sedation, it is recommended for patients who experience moderate to severe dental anxiety. It’s also helpful for individuals who suffer a sensitive gag reflex, have difficulty staying seated for prolonged periods, and are preparing for multiple dental treatments. The medication quickly begins to work, creating a calming effect that remains throughout the procedure and until you get home.
