Dr. Blavin has performed thousands of sedation dentistry procedures over the past twenty years. He has seen the wonder of patients waking up and asking, 'Are you done already?' even after hours of treatment! Sedation will allow you to finally be treated comfortably.
Dr. Blavin's in-depth experience with sedation dentistry and training is highly unique. Most dentists who offer sedative pills do not have the experience of being trained by anesthesiologists in a hospital residency program.

Dr. Blavin is simply "The Best"! I started seeing another dentist after I retired. Big mistake! I am back now and will never leave again! I love everyone in his office You will never find a better one!

My 27-yr old autistic son had several cavities filled out under IV sedation at Briar Pointe. Both Neil and Rikki Blavin were very professional and did a great job on my son's teeth. I am so glad I found a great dentist for our son so close by. The place is clean and the charges were reasonable. Highly recommend.

This office is full of amazing staff! I first started visiting Dr Blavin when my previous dentist took a look at my mouth for 0.05 seconds and said I had a cracked tooth and would need a crown. Because I'd never had dental work done at that time, I was terrified. My previous dentist didn't offer any sort of gas, and gave me a referral for Dr. Blavin's office because of the IV sedation. Turns out I did NOT have a cracked tooth (so in other words my old dentist was looking for $$$) but I did have several cavities that he'd neglected! Dr Blavin and staff made getting my fillings super comfortable. I didn't even need gas the second time I came back! I will gladly drive the 35 minutes to have my dental care done here.

My sons and I have been going to this office for years and the entire staff here is wonderful. I get major anxiety going to doctors and dentists and Marlene (hygienist) and Dr. Blavin have such compassion and calming personalities and always make me feel at ease once I'm there. And Gail, at the front desk is always welcoming and upbeat. I have had cavities filled, wisdom teeth removed and a root canal and no pain or issues with recovery. My sons have had cleanings, fillings, an extraction of a tooth and braces here and the results have been great. I really liked that my son could have his braces done by his dentist that he has known growing up as well. Overall, this is a great place for the whole family for dental care, even those with high anxiety at the dentist's office.

I love this place. The doctor and everyone that works there are very nice and I trust them which is important to me because I'm very high anxiety. Thank you to all of you for everything. They truly care and that's important to me. First dentist I've been to where I feel welcomed and they answer all of your questions. Thank you for taking care of patients like me who have anxiety. I live an hour away but it's well worth the drive. I'll definitely keep going here.

I would recommend Briar Pointe Dentistry to anyone, especially those that have bad experiences in the past. Dr. Blavins office is friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and SO good at what they do. I saw Dr. Rikki, and she was so gentle and explained everything she was doing. Go to Briar Pointe!

Dr Blavin and his team are great. They were able to get me in so quickly for a consultation, and to my surprise were able to fit me in right away for an extraction. I do not know the name of the assistant who sat with me while my mouth was numbing, but she was fabulous. Dr. Blavin is so nice, and made me feel very comfortable. I've never had a tooth pulled so I wasn't sure what to expect, and this was my wisdom tooth he was taking. I did not feel a single thing, and the tooth was out of my mouth is literally 10 seconds. I'm writing this the following day, and I am in basically no pain at all. I don't have insurance but his cash prices were extremely reasonable. Highly recommend giving this office a chance.

I've hated dentists for as long as I can remember. My teeth have terrible enamel, I had cavities every time I went. Then my dad suggested I go to his dentist. Mind you, this is 45+ minutes away from us. But I gave it a shot. First we did a consult and I told Dr. Blavin about my front tooth that Great Expressions ruined. They drilled and filled a cavity that I'm still almost positive wasn't there. It fell out, TWICE. After that I said no more. Dr. Blavin convinced me to let him try, we're 3 year passed that first visit now and it's never fallen off once. He got me into 6 month smiles, straightened my teeth in 17 weeks (even tho he would've left them on, I was done. But I'm happy). He always takes car of me. And I love Marlene, she's always so gentle and personable while doing my cleanings. Gail and Liz also take great care of you and they're so friendly on the phone. I know there are others that are there and those that have left the practice but I've never had one person there that I didn't like. Thank you all for everything you've done for my family and myself!

Always a pleasure going to Dr Blavin and Marlene (hygenist). Extremely professional, extremely courteous and always cost effective for the patient. Don't experiment just come to Briar Pointe and Dr. Blavin.

The staff here are absolutely amazing. I have been afraid of the dentist for years and dread even making appointments, so much so it has been a while. I called them and have been treated with nothing but respect since day one. They make me feel comfortable and welcome And I look forward to telling my friends and family about you guys!
