Choose a Team Known For Relieving Dental Anxiety in Lenexa
Dental fear and anxiety are very real for many of our patients. If your heart races or you break into a sweat when thinking about a dental visit, we understand. We work hard at relieving dental anxiety in Lenexa, and we love to see a nervous patient get the dental care they need. Our thoughtful, attentive treatment will help you:

There are a lot of patients who have fear, anxiety that come to the dentist; it's not uncommon. Our office strives to take away those fears just by the environment that we provide. We feel that our office is a very caring environment to come to the dentist. And when you do need procedures done, we have ways to reduce that anxiety.
We do sedation in our office, and we do have a device that's called the STA. It delivers anesthetic very slowly to the tooth and almost painlessly, really. So patients who have had the STA given to them say that they didn't feel a single thing.
And sometimes that shot or the fact that patients are thinking about needles is what's creating that anxiety. Once they get past that, they're typically okay. But we have the means to sedate if we need to and create a less anxiety situation for a patient so that they are comfortable when they come into the office and they leave comfortable as well.

Relax & Leave Everything to Us
It is estimated that between 30 and 40 million Americans avoid seeing the dentist altogether due to dental fear and anxiety. That’s a lot of smiles not getting the attention they need! At Pierce & Knight Family Dentistry, we understand how debilitating dental fear can be. If the thought of being in a dental chair scares you, getting your teeth cleaned or having a tooth filled can be a completely overwhelming experience.
To help with your dental anxiety, we can prescribe an oral sedative for you to take ahead of time. By the time your checkup or procedure begins, you’ll feel completely relaxed and at ease.
Along with dental sedation, our staff is fully trained to provide the most pleasant smile care possible. Just like we would want others to do for our own family members, we work hard at creating a warm and inviting environment for each patient.
We’ll take time to completely explain your dental care and answer any questions you have about your treatment or about us. Both Dr. Pierce and Dr. Knight regularly complete continued education classes so they can stay current on the latest dental treatments. You’ll directly benefit from their dedication to improving their knowledge.
