Afraid of the Dentist?

Many people are less than enthusiastic about dental care. However, for some people, even the thought of visiting a dentist causes anxiety. If you avoid dental care due to a fear of needles or you have a dental phobia, it could negatively affect your health and smile. At Laguna West Dental Care, we understand that dental treatments can be uncomfortable for some of our patients with dental fear or anxiety. We do our best to ease those fears and provide a relaxing, safe environment for our patients.

Many times, dental anxiety stems from a bad experience. Not all dentists and dental professionals are the same, and one bad apple can leave a lasting negative impression on the entire profession. Our dental team members at Laguna West Dental Care are dedicated to providing compassionate, gentle dental care to each of our patients. We never rush patients or ask them to endure anything that makes them overly uncomfortable. Our patient-centric approach will help put you at ease and make your visits to our office less stressful.

Sedation Options for Dental Anxiety

While we strive to help our patients feel relaxed with our friendly atmosphere, we know some patients need more than a reassuring smile. Our office offers nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation for those with dental phobia or anxiety to help them relax during dental treatments. When our patients are calm and comfortable under sedation, we can perform our treatments more efficiently. Knowing you are relaxed and at ease makes it easier for us to provide you with the best quality dental care. Ask about our sedation options when you schedule your next visit.

Do not let a fear of dental care stop you from maintaining a healthy, gorgeous smile. Laguna West Dental Care is your source in the Elk Grove area for gentle, compassionate dental care with sedation dentistry available. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment for you or a family member.

Stella H.

I followed my dentist for over 30 years. When he retired (love and miss you Dr. You) I was so nervous about everything, especially how my dentist was going to be. Long story short. I am blessed, yet again! My new dentist is Dr. Sanghvi. Here come the adjectives! She is so nice, informative, caring, insures i understand what and why she is going to do something, supportive, professional, down to earth, explains things, charming personality. She has such a calm and peaceful spirit and a beautiful-contagious smile. She makes me feel safe and truly has my best interest at heart when it comes to my teeth and well-being. She even takes the time to chat "life" stuff during her busy schedule. I am glad to have met her and look forward to many years with Dr. Sanghvi. To boot, love ALL the staff.

What a amazing experience all around. I brought my partner in for a same day emergency extraction for his wisdom tooth, he was able to be the the dentist chair within an hour of calling. The care, concern and level of compassion in unmatched. A big thank you to the entire staff. We will see you again on future appointments.

I love everyone there! They are so friendly and helpful. I don't have insurance but they were less expensive than other dentists.

HB S.

Truly an exceptional office. I switched to this practice 1.5 years ago, and wish I had sooner. The hygienists trained me to floss and brush correctly, and happy to say my appearance/level of pain has improved tremendously no thanks to their efforts. The dentists offer options while also understanding my goals for the future. I can't speak highly enough of this place, and every interaction has been very pleasant and shows genuine interest and kindness.

Myra L.

This place shows a lot of care and compassion towards their patients. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming as well. I moved my family to this location because of the level of service we receive each visit. I love their attention to detail. Thank you!

Kathy T.

I have such a fear of dental work (had a horrible dentist as a child who felt I did not need any numbing before most drilling) my whole life. But everyone here is so gentle so encouraging to report pain. I don't feel as much fear as I used to....thank you Dr Sanghvi and all your associates including the front desk!!!!!!
