I am so impressed with this Place. The staff is super friendly and explains everything in great detail and really takes their time with their patients. I came here after 15+ years of not having Dental insurance or the means to see a Dentist.
Needless to say, my teeth were in pretty bad shape, and I needed a deep periodontal cleaning. When I went in for consultation back in February I was totally nervous, anxious had no clue what to expect. I just knew that I needed to a tooth that was falling out pulled and needed to do something about my teeth.
After talking with a staff member and Dr. Hoffmann I felt totally at ease. Both my procedures in Feb and May went incredibly well and I woke up from both with an incredible smile.
I came back today for follow up and cleaning my Hygienist was awesome I still had some sensitivity around my front teeth and when she noticed I flinched she stopped and said do you need break, or do you want me to put some numbing jell on your front teeth.
After we got done, I had a lot of questions about the proper way to floss, what type of tooth paste I should use for sensitive teeth etc and she really took the time to answer all my questions.
If you have been putting off dental work because of anxiety, I encourage you to check this place out. The staff truly cares about their clients.

I went to nervous and 3 to 4 hours later, I essentially woke up in the car on my way home without realizing anything had happened. If you have trauma with previous dental issues, this is the place.

Reduces Dental Anxiety and Fear
Dental anxiety is common among elderly patients, particularly those who have had negative experiences in the past. Sedation dentistry helps alleviate these fears, allowing seniors to undergo treatments without stress or anxiety. [Cleveland Clinic]
Provides Comfort for Patients with Medical Conditions
Many elderly patients have medical conditions such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, or dementia that make sitting still for extended periods challenging. Sedation ensures comfort and minimizes discomfort during dental procedures. [Mayo Clinic]
Facilitates Complex Dental Procedures
Elderly patients often require extensive dental work, including dentures, implants, and gum treatments. Sedation allows for multiple procedures to be completed in a single visit, reducing the need for repeated appointments. [WebMD]
Enhances Safety and Reduces Pain
Sedation dentistry minimizes pain and ensures patient safety by reducing involuntary movements. This is especially important for seniors with limited mobility or cognitive impairments. [American Dental Association]
Encourages Regular Dental Visits
For many seniors, the fear of discomfort or pain can lead to avoiding dental visits altogether. Sedation dentistry encourages regular check-ups by providing a pain-free and anxiety-free experience, promoting better oral health. [Healthline]
