Overcoming Dental Anxiety - How Our Roanoke Team Can Help

If the thought of visiting the dentist makes you nervous, you are not alone. Dental anxiety affects millions of Americans and can prevent people from getting the care they need. At Wilson Dental Associates in Roanoke, Virginia, we specialize in helping anxious patients feel comfortable and relaxed.

Understanding Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety can stem from past negative experiences, fear of pain, embarrassment about your teeth, or a general sense of loss of control. Whatever the cause, our compassionate Roanoke dental team listens without judgment and works with you to address your concerns.

Our Approach to Anxious Patients

At Wilson Dental Associates, we take extra time to explain every step of your treatment so there are no surprises. We encourage you to raise your hand at any time if you need a break. Our office features comfortable amenities, and our staff is trained in gentle techniques to minimize discomfort.

Sedation Options

For patients with severe anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry options. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, helps you relax while remaining fully conscious. We discuss all available options during your consultation to find the right solution for you.
