Doctor Neelam Studebaker Talks about Relieving Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety can come from a number of things. It can come from a poor experience in the past, it can come from just the sounds and noise that you hear sometime in a dental office, or it can come from the unknown. And that's just a few of the examples that can cause dental anxiety.

I always tell patients, well, first we try to figure out where is that anxiety coming from? You know, what is it that's causing you to be nervous to come and see us? For example, if it's someone that's had a poor experience in the past, our goal is to change that experience. What can we do to make it so that you don't have to go through that again? Some people just don't like the noises or want to feel comfortable in the chair. Well, we have headphones for that.

We have a TV that you can watch while you're laying back. We've got blankets and pillows. And other people just want to know that, you know, you're in a vulnerable position when you're laying back, that they have some sense of control.

And probably the most important thing I will tell a patient is that when you come in, you are still in charge. If you're uncomfortable at any point, you're going to raise your hand and you're going to let me know and know that I will stop if anything feels uncomfortable. So it takes away some of that lack of control that people can feel.

Probably the most important thing is to listen. So if someone comes in experiencing anxiety, then our goal as providers and as the dental office is to sit down and listen to where that anxiety is coming from. And usually we do our best to make sure we're guiding you in the right direction to take away that anxiety.

You’ll Feel at Ease With Comforting Dental Care

You aren't alone if you struggle with anxiety. However, you don't want that to get in the way of achieving a healthy and beautiful smile.

As a patient of Renew Dental Arts, you'll benefit from our family-friendly atmosphere where you'll feel right at home.

Our team is dedicated to providing unparalleled patient experiences, combining skill, comfort, and convenience.

We also offer oral sedation to help you relax during your dental procedure. This safe and effective method involves taking a prescribed sedative prior to your appointment.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Miller for two years now and I’ve had a couple of serious dental surgeries. Not only did he and his team make me feel at ease but also feel apart of the Renew Dental family! I’ve come to know the whole team and felt loved & supported through such a long but beautiful journey! I’ve always hated going to to the dentist but ever since I made them my dental family, I never had that feeling again. So if you’re looking for your next dental family this is the place hands down. P.S. I also love Hannah the dental assistant , she’s incredible & all the other dental assistant’s 💕✨. Dr. Miller has an incredible team standing beside him. ♥️

Had an amazing experience here. Definitely the best dental office I have ever been too. Every employee there is professional and knowledgeable and very caring. Renew Dental Arts is my new home for my dental care.

I am SO glad I found Renew Dental Arts! My previous experience with the dentist was fine but nothing special. Dr Studebaker has amazing bedside manner, took extra care and time to diagnose my tooth issue, and carried out the procedure with professionalism, integrity, and kindness. I feel so well taken care of here. Also, I really appreciate the quantitative way of discussing ways to improve dental hygiene. Instead of vague "brush and floss!" the techs use special gel to show you where plaque builds up and they actually treat the gingivitis. I'm in my 30s and feel like I actually understand how to take care of my teeth for the first time thanks to Renew Dental Arts.
