Give Your Smile
the Professional Dentistry It Deserves

If the mere idea of going to the dentist makes you feel anxious, you’re not alone. According to research, between 50 and 80% of adults in the U.S. have some degree of dental anxiety, ranging from mild to severe. Common issues include worrying about an injection or procedure perceived to be painful, the discomfort of keeping one’s mouth open for an extended period, or the need to undergo complex procedures, such as full mouth dental implants. At Cascade Dental Implants, we understand and do everything we can to ensure your journey to a restored smile is more comfortable than you ever thought possible!

The Relationship Between
Dental Anxiety and Oral Health

Despite major advances in dental technology and pain control in the dental field, dental fear remains a consistent problem for people seeking dental treatment. Individuals who have high levels of dental fear have poorer oral function and a higher frequency of oral health issues, including toothaches, bleeding gums, untreated cavities, gum disease, and missing teeth. Although research has shown that individuals with dental anxiety are more likely to perceive a need for dental care, rate their oral health as poor, and report problems with chewing, these issues often don’t provide enough motivation to visit a dentist. At Cascade Dental Implants, we help our patients overcome dental fear through patient-centered assessments, building a trusted relationship from day one, top sedation dentistry options, and delivering smiles that stand the test of time, comfortably!
