Dental Visit Jitters? Don’t Stress.

We Make Your NYC Dentist Visit Easy Peasy

Feeling nervous about visiting the dentist is incredibly common. In fact, some studies say that as many as two thirds of people have fears related to going to the dentist! We get it. And we want you to know that we’ve got you covered.

When you come in for a cleaning or dental work with your NYC dentist at Soul Dental, one of the first things you’ll notice is that we like to laugh. Yes, really! While the dental office might seem like a strange place to find laughter, that’s just the way we roll.

We keep things light, happy, and yes even silly at times. Why? Well, part of it is that we’re just that fun.

And also, laughter truly is the best medicine. It puts people at ease, helps them feel comfortable, and it’s a great way to connect with our patients.

But don’t worry. We’ve got more than a sense of humor to help you feel safe and comfortable at our practice.

Still Nervous?
Sedation Dentistry for the Win.


At Soul Dental, you never have to choose between your oral health and your sense of safety. You can have both! We offer sedation dentistry options for our patients, depending on the scope of your treatment and your comfort needs.

  • IV Sedation: We offer the very best in professional and safe intravenous sedation. It’s a great option for eliminating pain, and you can also ask us about it in relation to dental fears that you’re struggling with. Let us help put you at ease.
  • Nitrous Oxide: Sometimes called laughing gas, this sedation option offers patients a relaxed and euphoric sense of calm.  

If you opt for IV sedation, you should plan to have someone drive you home after your appointment. You may be a bit drowsy, so relying on another driver is safest. With nitrous oxide, you can drive yourself home if you wish. You’ll feel back to normal almost immediately after treatment.

Whether you’re coming in for a cleaning and checkup or having more in-depth work done, our sedation dentistry options are designed to make the choice to come in for dental work easier than ever.

Many of our patients have experienced uncomfortable dental treatments in the past, and they’re now hesitant to come to the dentist at all. We want you to know that, first and foremost, your comfort is our priority.

It’s also helpful to know that every aspect of our dental practice, including our dental sedation options, uses the very latest and greatest dental technology and research to create the most comfortable dental care in history. When you come to Soul Dental, you’ll receive not only the very best in care and compassion, but also benefit from the very best in scientific advances in the field.

We understand that fear and anxiety over coming to the dentist is very real, and can be debilitating — and we never want to add any stress to that by having you worry what to do about it!

Don’t worry! Be happy! We mean it.

If you think sedation dentistry is the best choice for you, just let our staff know when you schedule your appointment. We’ll be ready to serve you when you arrive, making sure that you are safe and comfortable throughout your time with us.
