Sedation Dentistry

Dental anxiety is a common problem shared by millions of people and can occur for a number of reasons. Dr. Skinkys and our team are sensitive to your concerns and have helped many patients overcome their dental phobias. You will find that our gentle, compassionate approach and genuine concern for your well-being make all the difference in helping you deal with your anxiety.

If fear is causing you to miss appointments or put off dental treatment altogether, we can help. Dr. Skinkys has taken the extra step of becoming certified by the state of Illinois to provide the type of sedation that is just right for you.

We have several options including oral conscious and IV sedation. Both are safe and effective and allow you to get important care without anxiety. Communication is the key, and we encourage you to be open with us and let us know if dental fear is a problem for you.

Please don’t put off dental visits because of anxiety. With our effective sedation techniques, you will finally be able to get the care you need in a friendly, stress-free setting. If you’d like more information about our gentle dentistry, please contact our Plainfield dental office.
