Dr. Thurm and his team are recognized leaders in delivering compassionate dental care to people suffering from dental phobias.
With more than 25years experience treating this patient population, we proudly relate success stories of patients who come to us from all the tri-state area.
As many of our patients can attest, dental phobia is paralyzing fear that keeps people from obtaining regular dental care. If you or someone you love has a dental phobia, you know how shame and embarrassment about one's teeth and smile can dramatically affect a person's quality-of-life, social life and self-esteem. When you finally gather the inner courage to make a call to a dentist, dental professionals who understand the very real nature of your fears must greet you.
Our team supports your unique needs as a phobic patient from the moment they make the first call. We ask about your dental history, your particular concerns, and any history that has caused you to be traumatized. We listen to your story and appreciate the magnitude of your fear. We then discuss the easiest and safest way to bring you the comfort and care you need.
We design a treatment plan in which all treatment can be completed in one comprehensive visit using optimal sedation options. If you choose the option of I.V. sedation or general anesthesia, your sedation/anesthesia is administered and monitored by a hospital trained anesthetist. We operate with a team approach and coordinate multiple specialties so that Periodontists, Endodontists, and Oral Surgeons can complete all of your needed work in one visit (when possible).
