Conquering anxiety with comfortable dentistry in Willoughby Hills, OH

Happy female patient with thumbs up

Just imagine, walking into a dental office and feeling right at home. You are greeted by friendly staff, who quickly make you feel welcome. After a very brief time in the tastefully decorated reception area, you are escorted to a surprisingly comfortable treatment room, where you relax and enjoy soothing music while a compassionate dentist performs treatment so gently that you hardly feel it.
No, it’s not a dream – it is the reality of comfortable dentistry in Willoughby Hills! Dr. Michael Stern and his talented team share a passion for exceptional patient care, and they have earned a reputation for taking the pain out of dental treatment.

Comfort dentistry is about more than laughing gas

Yes, we offer nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, which can help keep anxiety at bay due to its euphoric and sedative properties. However, we also understand that nitrous oxide alone is not enough to soothe dental anxiety. In fact, it is not even the most important part of the process.
Dr. Stern is Board-certified in pain management, as well as in dentistry. He understands very well just how much difference small details can make. Precise techniques greatly reduce pain and discomfort, both during and after treatment. For example, extractions can be performed by pulling teeth with significant force, which has the side effect of localized tissue trauma. Alternately, teeth can be pulled by pressure applied at just the right angle with the proper technique. He literally has comfort down to a science.
