Anxiety
Compassionate care for every patient, especially those who are nervous.
You’re Not Alone in Feeling Anxious
Understanding that your comfort comes first.
If you feel nervous about visiting the dentist, you’re not alone. Nearly one in five people experience dental anxiety, and for some, that fear is enough to delay care altogether. At Jeffrey S. Prieto, DDS, we know how important it is to feel safe when someone is caring for such a personal part of your health. Unfortunately, avoiding the dentist can allow small issues to grow into larger problems, but with the right support, dental visits can become positive and stress-free.
How We Help Patients Manage Anxiety
Gentle care in a safe, judgment-free environment.
Dr. Prieto and his team have created a welcoming office where every patient feels respected and heard. We focus on open communication, gentle techniques, and personalized pacing to make your visits as comfortable as possible. For patients with moderate to severe anxiety, sedation options are available when appropriate. We also offer comfort amenities and distraction tools designed to help you feel relaxed during treatment.
A Different Kind of Dental Experience
Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last dental visit, we welcome you without judgment. Taking that first step toward care is often the hardest, but once you do, you’ll find a team committed to helping you feel at ease while protecting your oral health.
