Distinctive Dentistry means we are dedicated to do all we can to make you feel comfortable.
-“You know, Doc, going to the dentist just makes me nervous.” “I’m afraid I’m just a baby when it comes to dentists.” “I had a bad experience as child.” Unfortunately, we hear this too many times. Fortunately, there are things we can do to make your visit with us a better experience then you have ever had before.

Nitrous oxideNitrous oxide is available for all appointments, including cleanings. It is a proven, safe, and effective means of relaxation. In conjunction with local anesthetic (as needed), it will make your experience very comfortable. After breathing the nitrous oxide through a nosepiece for a few minutes, you will feel very relaxed while remaining alert. It does not “put you to sleep” (unless you choose to take a nap). When the nitrous oxide is no longer needed, you will breath oxygen for a few minutes, and then you are good to go. You can even drive afterwards, assuming you have a license. ☺

You may look a little funny, but you'll feel great.
We promise we won't take your picture like we did of this brave volunteer, but we do promise we will do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable and pain-free as possible. You will be in charge. Simply raise your hand at the first tinge of discomfort, and we'll stop what we are doing and see what we can do to make you more comfortable. After hundreds of patients over the years, we've found that our commitment to a comfortable dental environment makes all the difference in the world.
