For many people, the thought of visiting the dentist brings about feelings of fear and anxiety.

At Comfydent Smiles in Bee Cave, TX, we understand the challenges of dental anxiety, and we are committed to providing gentle, compassionate care to help our patients overcome their fears. Dr. Sonja Ellis and our dedicated team work to create a relaxing and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable and confident during your visits.

Dental anxiety can range from mild nervousness to an intense fear that keeps you from visiting the dentist altogether. There are many reasons why people experience dental anxiety, including:
Regardless of the cause, dental anxiety can significantly impact your oral health. Avoiding the dentist can lead to the progression of dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay, which can become more serious and harder to treat over time. The good news is that dental anxiety is manageable, and with the right approach, you can enjoy stress-free visits to the dentist.

Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, you can trust that your comfort is our top priority.
4. Complimentary Laughing Gas Sedation
For patients who need a little extra help relaxing, we offer complimentary laughing gas sedation (nitrous oxide). Laughing gas is a safe and effective way to reduce anxiety and make your dental experience more comfortable. Administered through a small mask placed over your nose, laughing gas takes effect quickly, helping you feel calm and at ease during your procedure. The effects wear off just as quickly, so you can resume your normal activities immediately after your visit.
5. Patient Education and Support
We believe that knowledge is power when it comes to overcoming dental anxiety. At Comfydent Smiles, we take the time to educate our patients about their oral health and the treatments they need. Understanding what to expect during your visit can help alleviate anxiety and give you the confidence to proceed with your care. We’re here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that you feel informed and empowered.
