According to the Journal of Dental Hygiene, between 50 and 80 percent of adults in the United States have some degree of dental anxiety, ranging from mild to severe. In addition to that, over 20% of patients with dental anxiety do not see a dentist regularly, and nine to 15 percent of patients that fall into that same bucket avoid dental care altogether. Missed appointments, avoidance of dental care, and a greater need for more extensive treatment are often a result of dental anxiety. The most important thing to remember, though, is that patients can overcome dental anxiety and feel better about going to the dentist routinely. The secret? The experience; and a comfortable one for that matter.

At Luxe Dental Spa, we believe that providing quality dental care starts with ensuring our patients are comfortable. That is why we offer a variety of services to make each visit as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. From our comfortable waiting area to our spa-like treatment rooms, we make it our mission to provide a relaxing and luxurious dental experience. Some of the patient amenities we offer include:

• Comforting waiting area with massage chairs

• Complimentary snacks and beverages

• Neck pillow and blankets

• Disposable ear plugs

• Complimentary lip balm

• Cooling eye mask

• Warm, scented face towels

• And so much more

Our goal is to have patients feeling comfortable going into their dental work. For those that need it, we do have Nitrous oxide analgesia available. Nitrous oxide analgesia, commonly known as "laughing gas," is a sedative agent that is breathed in through the nose. It is used to reduce anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures. It is a safe and effective way to help keep anxious patients at ease during dental procedures.
