Going to the dentist probably isn’t anyone’s favorite thing to do, but for some people, it can be a scary and traumatic experience. Dental anxiety is real, and it can often feel difficult or impossible to pick up the phone and schedule an appointment.

At Five Parks Dental, we understand these feelings, and we’ll do everything we can to ensure a stress-free visit.

Let’s explore some of the ways we do just that.

5 Ways Our Clinic Makes Your Visit Stress-Free

Our dental team proudly serves patients from Arvada and the surrounding communities, and we work hard to help every patient get the care they deserve.

Here are some of the things we do to decrease your stress when you’re with us:

  1. Calm, welcoming atmosphere — As soon as you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the beautiful décor and see smiling faces that truly want to help.
  2. A friendly, professional team — Our dental team enjoys getting to know you; during your first visit, you’ll receive a 1-hour dental experience. We don’t rush through your appointment, and we try to ensure a positive visit.
  3. Distractions during treatment — For some anxious patients, all it takes is the right distraction to allow them to receive the care they need. You can enjoy your favorite movie during your visit, and before you know it, you’ll be finished and headed home.
  4. The latest technology — We use the latest digital imaging technology to streamline your care. Our digital x-rays, 3-D cone beam imaging, and intraoral cameras make it possible to provide efficient, timely care.
  5. Nitrous oxide sedation — For our anxious patients who feel like they need a little extra help, we offer nitrous oxide to keep them calm and comfortable. You’ll be relaxed during your appointment, and although you’re alert and able to answer questions, you may not remember everything. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so you can get back to your busy day.
