Are you unhappy with the condition of your teeth, but keep putting off going to the dentist? Happy Dentist specializes in pain-free dental work that is gentle on your mouth and your nerves so that you will have the healthy mouth and good looking smile that you have always dreamed of. Taking care of your mouth is important to the health of your whole body.
When you avoid the dentist, you are at a higher risk for gum disease and tooth loss.
Both the American Dental Association and the American Medical Association have discovered that unhealthy teeth and gums can contribute to your risk for heart disease and stroke, and create complications in people with diabetes. Several studies show that when bacteria builds up in the mouth, it weakens your body’s ability to ward off serious diseases and infections.
Avoiding the dentist can lead to emotional stress in social and professional settings. Yellowed, broken and crooked teeth causes some people to become self-conscious laughing, smiling and talking in public.
We, at Happy Dentist, have perfected the art of gentle dentistry. For routine check-ups and cleanings we use Waterlase laser-energy and water-spray procedure for pain-free dental work. This form of dentistry eliminates the need for sedation, needles and pressurized instruments. We have found that 98% of our patients who have experienced anxiety about visiting the dentist in the past have, have no fear about coming in for routine check-ups and cleanings, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. When patients need more extensive dental work such as fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures or removal of teeth, we have several safe sedation options available to ease your anxiety. Our on-staff anesthetist consults with you, the dentist and your medical doctor[s], to decide which option is best for you, your health, and your anxiety. Our comprehensive pain-free dental work plan is designed to give you a healthy mouth while easing your fears and pain. At Happy Dentist, we have taken the fear out of going to the dentist so you can have the teeth, gums and smile you’ve always wanted. When you’re happy, we’re happydentist.com!
