Philosophy of Gentle Care
At Dr. Postel’s family dental care, we believe in the Golden Rule of Dentistry: We treat our patients how we’d like to be treated. Our staff always provides the latest care, pain treatment, and support available so your visit is always as comfortable as possible.
Dr. Postel sympathizes with patients who face fears, dental anxiety or phobias. Often, this is caused by negative experiences with other dentists when we’re younger.
Nearly 75% of all patients face some sort of dental anxiety, according to the Journal of the American Dental Association. In fact, about 20% of the population face a diagnosable phobia, according to the Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology Journal. Sadly, fear prevents far too many people from seeking the dental care they need.
We Care about Comfort
Your comfort is our priority. Bring whatever you need to relax — soothing music, a comfort item such as a pillow, family afghan, quilt, or heirloom — whatever brings you peace.
We use the latest pain remedies and dental technologies to help your dental experience be as gentle as possible.
