Return to Dental Care
Dentist in San Francisco, CO
Compassionate, Judgment-Free Dentistry
Many people put off dental appointments for years due to anxiety, finances, or simply a busy life. Our team, led by Dr. Young, is dedicated to changing how you feel about dental care with empathy, modern technology, and a truly welcoming atmosphere.
It’s Never Too Late to Care for Your Smile
Your oral health affects your whole body. Even after years away, a single visit can prevent bigger problems and improve your overall wellness.
When you return to dental care, we will begin with a comprehensive exam to assess your teeth, gums, and jaw. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals and comfort level.
Our goal is to help you protect and preserve your natural teeth through preventive and restorative care. But when advanced treatment is needed, we can help restore both function and confidence.
What to Expect at Your First Visit Back
We know the first step can feel intimidating, but our compassionate team is here to make it as easy as possible.
- Warm welcome: We will update your information, review your insurance, and go over payment options before we get started.
- Comprehensive exam: Your dentist will perform a thorough exam. They will check your gums, teeth, and bite to assess your overall oral health and identify any areas that need attention.
- Cleaning and preventive care: If it’s been a while since your last cleaning, don’t worry. We’ll start gently and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
- Treatment planning: Together, we’ll create a clear, personalized treatment plan to restore and maintain your dental health.
We never rush your care or judge your past. Instead, we focus on where you are now and how to help you move forward.
Compassionate Care for Patients with Dental Anxiety
If you’ve been avoiding the dentist because of anxiety or fear, sedation can make your experience easier and more comfortable. We provide safe, customized sedation options for patients who feel nervous in the dental chair or need more complex care.
How Sedation Makes Your Visit Easier
Sedation can be helpful for many patients and situations, including:
- Dental anxiety or fear
- Past negative dental experiences
- Difficulty getting numb with local anesthesia
- A sensitive gag reflex
- Trouble sitting still for long periods
- Complex or lengthy treatment plans
- Low pain tolerance
- Fear of needles or dental instruments
- Overactive jaw muscles or TMJ discomfort
Sedation helps you stay calm and comfortable throughout your visit, making it easier to get the care you need with confidence.
