Your visit, your way. Choose the little comforts that help you settle in, relax, and feel completely at ease.
A dental visit does not have to feel clinical or tense. From the moment you sit down, you get to shape how your time with us feels, one small comfort at a time. Cozy up under a warm blanket, cue up your favorite show, breathe in a calming scent, and let your shoulders drop. Your comfort comes first here, and you are always the one in control.
Book a New Smile Today!For a lot of people, the hardest part of the dentist is not the treatment, it is the worry that builds up beforehand. We understand that, and we have quietly built our practice around easing it. The Comfort Menu is our way of handing that comfort back to you, so you can decide what helps you feel safe and settled.
Think of it like a short list of thoughtful extras you can mix and match. Want to bundle up under a blanket and disappear into a good show? Wonderful. Prefer to close your eyes with music and a calming scent in the air? That works too. There is no right or wrong choice, only what feels good to you.
Little touches make a big difference when you want to relax. Ask for a soft, cozy blanket to keep you warm and grounded, and a supportive neck pillow so your head and shoulders can fully rest. Many people are surprised by how quickly they unwind once they are tucked in and comfortable.
If the overhead light feels bright, we will hand you a pair of sunglasses to soften it and let your eyes relax. These are the same small comforts you would reach for at home, and they are yours the moment you ask.
Sometimes the easiest way to relax is to let your mind go somewhere else. Slip on our noise canceling headphones and stream your favorite shows or a playlist you love. Before you know it, you are wrapped up in a story instead of counting the minutes.
Whether you like true crime, comfort TV, a podcast, or calm instrumental music, the goal is the same. We want the time to pass easily and gently, so your visit feels shorter and far more pleasant than you expected.
Comfort is not just what you see and hear, it is what you feel and smell too. Soothing aromatherapy fills the room with a calming, familiar scent that helps signal to your body that it is okay to relax. It is a small thing that quietly changes the whole mood of a visit.
When your appointment is winding down, ask for a warm scented towel to refresh and reset. It is a simple, spa like finish that leaves you feeling cared for and ready to get on with your day.
If you feel nervous or simply want to take the edge off, nitrous laughing gas is available to help you feel light, calm, and comfortable while you are in the chair. It wears off quickly, so most people are able to head home on their own once your visit is done.
And before any injection, we take the time to gently numb the area first, so even that small pinch is softened. Nothing happens in a rush, and nothing happens before you feel ready. Every step is designed to keep you comfortable and in control.
The most important amenity on the menu is not a gadget, it is our team. We check in with you throughout your visit, watch for the little signs that you might need a break, and pause whenever you want us to. A raised hand is always enough to stop and take a breath.
You never have to tough it out or wonder if you are asking for too much. We would rather you feel heard and relaxed than quietly uncomfortable. Your comfort truly does come first, from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.

Book a New Smile Today!Patients choose Love To Smile because comfort here is not an afterthought, it is built into how we care for you. Led by Dr. Esther Pedersen, our team pairs skilled, gentle dentistry with a genuinely warm welcome, so a checkup or a bigger procedure can feel calm instead of stressful. We take the time to listen, we explain what is happening in plain language, and we let you set the pace. Whether you are a longtime patient or someone who has put off the dentist for years, you will find a caring local team that treats your comfort, and your trust, as something to be earned every visit.
It is easy, just ask any member of our team when you arrive or at any point during your visit. You can request one comfort or several, and there is no need to explain why. We are always happy to help you feel more at ease.
Most of the little comforts like blankets, headphones, sunglasses, aromatherapy, and a warm towel are simply part of the caring experience we want every patient to have. If an option like nitrous involves anything additional, we will always talk it through with you first, so there are never any surprises.
Yes, and dental anxiety is more common than most people think. Small comforts like a cozy blanket, your favorite show, calming aromatherapy, and the option of nitrous can make a real difference in how relaxed you feel. Just as important, our team checks in with you and moves at your pace, so you always feel in control.
Nitrous is a gentle, breathable option that helps you feel calm and comfortable during treatment. Most people describe it as a light, relaxed feeling rather than being out of it, and it wears off quickly once your visit is over. In most cases you can drive yourself home, and we are glad to answer any questions before we begin.
We take real care to make this as comfortable as possible. Before any injection, we gently numb the area first so the pinch is softened, and we never rush the process. If anything feels uncomfortable, you can let us know right away and we will pause.
Absolutely, and you never need a reason. Just raise your hand or let us know, and we will stop so you can rest, stretch, or catch your breath. Your comfort comes first, and you are always in charge of the pace.
