We proudly relate success stories of patients who come to us from all over North Texas.

As many of our patients can attest, dental phobia is paralyzing fear that keeps people from obtaining regular dental care. We know that an estimated 9-15% of all Americans avoid regular dental care due to fear surrounding the dental visit. This translates to some 30 - 40 million people so afraid of dental treatment that they avoid it altogether.

If you or someone you love suffers from a dental phobia, you know that shame and embarrassment become very real issues affecting a person's quality-of-life, social life and self esteem. When the patient finally gathers the inner courage to make a call to the dentist, they must be able to reach out to a team that understands the very real nature of their fears.

Our team supports the unique needs of phobic patients from the moment they make the first call. We ask about the patientąs dental history, his/her concerns, and any history of trauma to the mouth. We listen to the patient and fully understand the magnitude of the fear. We then discuss the easiest and safest way to bring comfort and care to the patient.
