Your Comfort Is Our Concern
We want you to be comfortable in our care. Our dentists and hygienists provide a relaxed and positive atmosphere. We use advanced technology when it can offer increased comfort and more exact results. Patients are always informed before we start a procedure, so you’ll be confident knowing what to expect and why it’s needed.
Our family-oriented office is designed to accommodate patients of all ages. We want to get to know you, your family and your health. By really understanding our patients’ needs and concerns, we can better recommend the right treatments. It’s an idea that works for our families—Dr. Northway is now seeing his third generation of patients returning for excellent dental care!
For your added comfort in the office, we offer:
- Medication/sedation techniques
- Single tooth anesthesia (STA)
- Nitrous oxide (at no charge)
- Audio headphones and a large selection of CDs
- TV with satellite dish
For kids, we offer diversions and fun rewards, which may include:
- Sunglasses (to block the overhead light)
- TV with movies or cartoons
- Hand mirrors (to see what is happening to their teeth)
- A prize from the “Treasure Chest”
- Balloons
- New toothbrush, toothpaste and floss
It’s important for a child’s first dental visit to be a fun, positive experience. This is a great time to get kids familiar with the tools we use and to talk about the importance of keeping teeth healthy. Even if we can’t perform a full cleaning, a positive first experience sets the stage for a lifetime of good dental care.
