We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
Now, any dental procedure can be done in a completely comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We are able to offer our patients the option of intravenous (IV) sedation or a combination of anti-anxiety medications. Both methods are safe but are determined by the level of comfort forthe patient.
For our apprehensive patients who get anxious, we provide nitrous oxide (sweet air). It has the effect of making the patient feel as if he or sheisat happy hour. After the procedures are completed, the patient can return to anormal daily routine.
This allows the patient to get through the front door. The effects can include drowsiness or just a sense of comfort. Prior to starting any procedures, nitrous oxide (sweet air) is provided. The combination of oral anxiety medication and nitrous oxide enables our patients to feel relaxed and comfortable before, during, and several hours after their visit.
For patients that have the highest level of anxiety, we offer dentistry while you sleep. Any dental procedure can be done while the patient is offered intravenous sedation. Our on-staff oral surgeon monitors the patient during the entire process while under the effect of the IV sedation. We are able to provide all treatment ranging from implants and extractions to even a cleaning.
Our specialists and general dentists work together to provide a full range of services during the sedation. This type of sedation is very safe. The doctors can communicate with the patient, andthere is no memory of the procedure afterward.

Have been going for years, everyone is really nice & they do a great job. My daughter & I both got braces there & Dr Tawil did a beautiful job. Mine just came off & my teeth look amazing, completely straight it is a huge difference! Would highly recommend.

This was my second time at the office. The dentist is really great but the front desk person makes the visits so unpleasant I decided not to wait for my appointment ( the specialist I came to see was late) because it would be unbearable to seat right in front of her. She is so inpatient, rude and arrogant. I don't know how such a great dentist jeopardizes his business having an assistant with such manners. I am not going back.

I always have been pleased with the Dentists & dental staff at Apprehensive Patient. The facility is immaculate, which is imperative. Furthermore, they follow strict COVID-19 protocols to ensure your health & safety.

Great Dental practice. My family and I have been going here for years and have no complaints. Primarily routine cleanings, but a I've had a crown and a root canal quite some time ago, and so far all are holding up well. Service and friendliness are excellent as well.

I am glad my son is over with his braces. I will never ever ever recommend anyone to come here. New Orthodontist Doctors ... no good nor soft hands with the kids. Office girls need to learn customer service and also how to smile .
