“Technology makes the patient more comfortable,” Dr. Craven says. Today, he has chosen to have all the most advanced technology in his office. For example, instead of biting into a mouthful of goop whenever a patient needs an implant, root canal, or
He’s dedicated to putting his patients at ease because he’s seen many patients in his years of practice, but also as a young boy in his uncle’s dentist office. He loved going to see his uncle, the dentist, and often would make drill sounds as he waited in the reception area. Little did he know then that he was likely triggering all those poor patients waiting to see his uncle. Since then, he’s become much more aware of the psychological impact of dentistry on patients. In fact, it intrigued him enough that, on top of his dental degree, he pursued a M.S. in Mental Health Counseling and a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. As a result, he takes the time to understand his patients’ fears and phobias.
