Comfortable Care for Anxious Dental Patients
Dental anxiety is common, and Dr. Gobran takes it seriously. She understands that fear, past experiences or uncertainty about a visit keep many people from getting the care they need. Her goal is for every patient to feel comfortable in the office and to leave feeling better than when they arrived.
For nervous patients, she focuses on clear explanations, at each patient’s pace and offers different treatment options that respect each person’s comfort level. When extra support is helpful, she offers conscious sedation dentistry so patients can relax during treatment.
