I can not say enough about my experience at Family Dentistry. Everyone from the office staff, receptionist Jill, dental assistant Lisa, and Dr. Phillips were kind, caring, and compassionate. I felt like I was family. They cater to cowards. I was not looking forward to having the dental work I needed. My visit was excellent. The dental assistant Lisa actually noticed and alerted the dentist to a problem not related to the procedure I was having. They both were so gentle, making sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. (I love they have a bumper guard to help keep your mouth open). They explained everything they were doing and made sure I was pain-free. I would highly recommend everyone I had contact with. Thank you to each one of you for caring!

Relax During Your Visit With the Help of Sedation
Dr. Phillips and our entire team recognize that dental visits can be a source of discomfort for some individuals. Perhaps you’ve had an unpleasant experience in your youth, or you’ve simply never been at ease with dental procedures. Regardless of the underlying cause, we are committed to collaborating with you to ensure you receive the necessary care.
You’ll find our attention to precise dental care reassuring. Plus, our office features noise-canceling headphones, blackout glasses, hot towels, and more – all designed to create a homey and relaxing atmosphere.
You’ll also find sedation options that will help you achieve a stress-free experience:
- Inhaled Sedation – This popular choice, often referred to as laughing gas, induces a sense of euphoria and eliminates dental anxiety. It allows you to recline comfortably during your treatment, free from worry. It takes effect quickly and wears off fast with no lingering after-effects.
- Oral Sedation – This method involves taking a small pill prior to your appointment. It’s particularly effective for those with moderate dental anxiety, as it helps to significantly reduce apprehension. By the time your exam or procedure begins, you’ll feel thoroughly relaxed. You’ll be groggy for a few hours, so you’ll need to arrange a ride home.
Let us know if there is anything our team can do to relieve your nerves. Your dentist will take time to discuss your fears and explore ways to help you feel calm in our care. You matter to our team, and we want you to feel at home!
