A beautiful smile is a powerful asset, but for millions of people, dental anxiety stands in the way of achieving their dream smile. If the thought of visiting the dentist fills you with apprehension, you’re not alone. At the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry (ACCD), we understand that dental anxiety is a real concern, and we’re dedicated to providing a comfortable and stress-free experience for every patient.  And it all begins from the moment you step through the door, where you are welcomed with a cup of coffee and a freshly baked cookie to enjoy or save until the end of your visit. 

Understanding Dental Anxiety 

Dental anxiety can manifest in various ways, from mild nervousness to full-blown panic attacks. Common triggers include fear of pain, embarrassment about oral health, and negative past experiences. Whatever the cause, dental anxiety can prevent you from seeking the care you need to maintain a healthy smile. 

ACCD’s Gentle Approach: A Dental Spa Experience 

At ACCD, we’ve reimagined the dental experience to create a relaxing and spa-like atmosphere. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by a warm and welcoming environment designed to put you at ease. Our team is committed to providing personalized care and ensuring your comfort throughout your visit.  

• Calming Amenities: One of our most popular amenities is that every patient can indulge in a chair-side massage during their visit with one of our two on-site massage therapies. 

• Compassionate Communication: Our entire team will take the time to listen to your concerns, explain procedures clearly, and answer any questions you may have. 

• Focus on Your Comfort: We’ll prioritize your comfort at every step, whether it is listening to soothing music through your noise-canceling headphones, relaxing with a lavender-scented towel, or wrapping yourself in comfort with our plus blankets, we work to provide an environment where you can relax and unwind. 

Sedation Options: Easing Your Anxiety 

For patients with more severe dental anxiety, we offer a variety of sedation options to help you relax and feel at ease during your treatment. 

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative that helps you feel calm and relaxed while remaining fully conscious.  ACCD provides this complimentary for patients that need it.   

• Oral Conscious Sedation: A pill that is taken at home before your appointment to induce a deeper state of relaxation. 

• IV Sedation: Administered intravenously for a more profound level of sedation, ideal for extensive procedures or severe anxiety. 

Our experienced dentists will discuss these options with you and recommend the most appropriate one based on your individual needs and level of anxiety. 

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back: Your Smile Makeover Awaits 

At ACCD, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in the dentist’s chair. We’re dedicated to helping you overcome dental anxiety and achieve the beautiful, healthy smile you’ve always wanted.
