Dental Anxiety Dentist - Upper East Side

If going to the dentist makes your nervous then we are here to help.

At New York Family Dental Arts,  we specialize in providing a comfortable dental experience for patients dealing with dental anxiety. If the thought of dental procedures makes you nervous or if you simply don't enjoy dental work, don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our upper east side dental office is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and relaxation during any dental procedure.

When you visit us, we will have a consultation with you to discuss your treatment needs and create a plan to maintain your oral health while addressing any fears you may have about dentistry in general. We are committed to keeping you informed throughout the entire process, allowing you to make informed decisions about your dental care without anxiety.

How Can I Alleviate Dental Care Anxiety Without Medication?

When you visit our dental office, we can discuss various methods to help you prevent and manage dental anxiety. In some cases, something as simple as listening to music with headphones during your appointment can be effective. For others,  we can offer nitrous oxide or alternative methods may be necessary to address dental anxiety.

How Can I Prepare for My Dentist Appointment?

Another effective way to ease your fears is to visit our upper east side dental office  and meet with Dr. Alexander Vaiman and Dr. Irina Kessler  before your actual appointment. Taking the time to tour our office, sit in the dentist's chair, and have a conversation allows you to become familiar with our staff and the office environment. After this meeting, when you return for your teeth cleaning or specific procedure, you'll be in a comfortable atmosphere with friendly and familiar faces. During your consultation, we can also explain what to expect during a teeth cleaning or a specific procedure, including the duration, dental tools used, sensations you may feel, and any potential recovery period. At this point if you feel that you need nitrous oxide in order to reduce any anxiety then we can offer you nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is a safe gaseous anesthetic and in a  2007 survey by the ADA, it was estimated that 70% of dental practices using any form of sedation employed nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation.

Sedation Dentistry for Managing Dental Anxiety

In our dental office, we specialize in sedation dentistry to reduce and prevent dental anxiety. 

Here are some commonly asked questions about sedation dentistry:

Are there other ways to enhance comfort during dental work? Certainly. Laser dentistry has revolutionized dental procedures, making them more comfortable. When you visit our dental office, rest assured that we utilize cutting-edge technology to improve your experience. Lasers enable precise targeting of small areas without disturbing surrounding tissue, reducing discomfort and recovery time. Dental lasers are also less invasive than traditional tools, resulting in less bleeding and swelling. They can be used for treating tooth decay, gum disease, and various restorative procedures. If you seek a more comfortable and anxiety-free experience, we highly recommend visiting a laser dentistry office. To learn more about procedures performed using lasers, call 212-628-3300 and schedule an appointment. At New York Family Dental Arts, our patients often find they no longer need sedation or pain medication due to the absence of common stressors associated with dental visits, such as noise, heat, and vibration from traditional dental drills.
