Get More Smileage Out of Life: Five Smile-worthy Reasons to Choose Us

Imagine you’re attending an out-of-town business conference and you enter a room where you don’t know anyone—naturally, you might feel out of place, even a little awkward. Thankfully, you notice a person smiling at you with a beautiful and magnetic smile. And in an instant, you feel welcomed and don’t feel as though you’re surrounded by strangers anymore.

That is exactly how powerful a smile can be! If you want to learn how far a great smile can take you, consider taking measures to improve your own with our help. Here are five reasons to do business with Dr. Monica Crooks, DDS, and her team:

Smileage Dental Gentle Dentistry:

For some people, going to a dental appointment is as scary as speaking in public. They avoid it like the plague, often putting their teeth and dental health at serious long-term risk. Some patients suffer from severe anxiety before and during their visits. Whether it be fear of needles, fear of pain, fear of feeling helpless as you lie flat in the chair while someone pokes and prods around your mouth, some degree of apprehension is very common, or normal even. Sometimes (but not always) these feelings stem from flashbacks to one or more unpleasant experiences. Dental phobia is an extreme fear of the dentist. People with dental phobia aren’t merely anxious or fearful, they are terrified or panic-stricken. It’s estimated that 9-15% of Americans suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia.

We have friendly and approachable dental professionals on our team who’ll listen to your concerns and make sure you are at ease. Our hygienists and registered dental assistants are responsive to our patients’ sensitivities. They approach their work with a soft, light touch – you might say we baby chickens!
