Dr. Blankenship-Sniker has designed her office in a way that creates a soothing feeling from the moment you walk in the door. You’ll find that our approach to anxiety relief works for everyone, including patients with special needs or sensory sensitivities.

You or your loved one can relax in our cozy chairs while wrapped in a calming weighted blanket. Our sensory pillows offer additional comfort and support. We can even adjust our lighting to your preference, creating a softer, more comfortable atmosphere. You can also take advantage of headphones or dark glasses to block out sights and sounds that you find stressful.

You may also benefit from sedation. Your dentist offers options that are suitable for children, people with special needs, and anyone with anxiety. You can schedule a hospital appointment if sedation is a necessary component for care:

  • Oral Sedation – You’ll take this prescribed medication before your appointment. It creates a deep sense of relaxation while you remain conscious.  It helps lessen anxiety and reduce any memory of procedures. The effects last several hours, so you’ll need someone to drive you home.
  • Laughing Gas – Also known as nitrous oxide, this type of sedation takes effect quickly and wears off fast. You’ll experience a light, floaty feeling. It’s suitable for all types of patients, including children. It will be safe for you to drive home afterward.

Whether you need minimal support or maximum comfort, you will feel secure and relaxed throughout your visit. If there are other ways we can support you or a loved one during your procedure, simply let our team know. We want you to get the care you need without any added stress.
