Statistics tell us that out of the 265 million people in the USA, 145 million have serious anxiety about going to the dentist so they put it off. And honestly, you can't blame them. For instance, say you're deathly afraid of spiders. So would you go out and purchase a pet tarantula? Heck no! It's the same thing. People who fear the dentist are only going to go when absolutely necessary and even then, it might take some work to get them to walk through the door. Based on these facts, Dr. Lawrence Kaplan
entered the profession in 1970 with the realization that people's biggest objection to going to the dentist was fear of pain. Since then, delivering pain-free dental services has been his mission, and he teaches others around the country techniques to make this happen. Relationship building is an important part of Dental 2000. Dr. Kaplan and staff spend a considerable amount of time with new patients learning about their lives and passions. They take an interest in not only building a long-lasting professional relationship, but a friendship as well. Dental 2000 welcomes people to a happy dental home because that's exactly what it is, a home. Patients become family here.
So where exactly does the pain-free part come into play? Dr. Kaplan takes pride in his promise to provide pain-free dentistry to all his patients or they do not pay for the visit. Yes, that's right. They DO NOT PAY! Now entering his 33rd year of servicing the community at Dental 2000, Dr. Kaplan has never had to refund any patient due to pain during a procedure. Sound too good to be true? Trust me, it's not.
Dental 2000 offers a few different options to ensure a pleasurable, pain-free experience at the dentist. The most common being numbing gels and Novocain. The team of talented dentists numb the area using a gel prior to injecting the gums with Novocain. The end result is that you don't ever feel the needle numbing you up or the work being done!
Another option available is nitrous oxide, most commonly known as laughing gas. Dental 2000 offers this to patients at no additional charge as a courtesy. Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose to help you relax. It is not intended to put you to sleep. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions the dentist may have. Your dentist will ask you to breathe normally through your nose, and within a few short minutes you should start to feel the effects of the nitrous oxide. You may feel light-headed or a tingling in your arms and legs. Some people say their arms and legs feel heavy. Ultimately, you should feel calm and comfortable. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off soon after the mask is removed. (1)Lastly, an option that the most fearful of patients prefer is conscious sedation. With this, a pill is taken the night before a dental procedure and the morning of the procedure. Patients must be driven to Dental 2000 where the rest of the sedation takes place. Imagine being able to accomplish all your dental care in as little as one or two relaxing appointments. With no more anxiety! No discomfort during or after procedures –and no groggy feeling! And little or no memory of the treatment! Dental 2000 does not allow patients to leave on their own either, as a companion must pick them up and accompany them throughout the day until the medication wears off. Patients have no recollection of their treatment and their fear disappears! This works especially well for patients who are in need of quite a bit of work, as the dentist can get a majority or all of it done in one visit.
At Dental 2000, we don't judge anyone. Whether you've been to the dentist 5 months ago or 5 years, we value and appreciate everyone that comes to us for help. Dr. Kaplan and Dental 2000's goal is to provide the ultimate experience in comfort, health and beauty delivered in a pain-free manner. After all, would a dentist promise you a money back guarantee if you experience pain if he couldn't back it up?! As if the pain-free part wasn't good enough, Dental 2000 is a multi-specialist dental spa with full-time hygienists and general dentists on staff, as well as an orthodontist, periodontist, and oral surgeon. Convenience is a main priority with patients, so Dr. Kaplan doesn't have to refer patients out to see other specialists. Other benefits include State-of –the- Art Technology, flexible financing options, same day emergency visits, walk-ins, and evening & weekend appointments to accommodate busy schedules. And that's not even the best part!
