Enjoy painless, comfortable dental care with Houston, TX, area dentist

The number one reason why many patients in the Houston, TX area avoid going to the dentist is due to their fear of pain. Discomfort in the dental chair may have happened for a patient in the past, which keeps them from maintaining their routine dental visits and examinations. Dr. Monti Harpalani understands this concern and can help patients in the area enjoy painless dental care with proper local anesthetics and nitrous oxide sedation.

Ways to reduce anxiety during dental visits

Dr. Monti Harpalani works routinely with patients who have concerns about pain and discomfort during their dental appointments. He understands that this can keep patients from getting necessary care. This is why he offers several ways to ensure painless treatment:

• A gentle hand. Our dentist and dental hygienists are well-experienced in ensuring a gentle hand is used while evaluating and treating patients. We can also walk patients through the process of treatment, so they are better prepared for their procedures, and there are no surprises.
• Local anesthetics. Additionally, when performing quick treatments such as fillings, we can administer a local anesthetic. This might be a topical numbing cream or an injection that numbs the area being worked on, so patients do not feel a thing.
• Nitrous oxide. Our practice also provides nitrous oxide, which is more commonly referred to as “laughing gas.” This can be used in conjunction with topical or injectable numbing medications. Nitrous oxide is an odorless gas that is administered through the nose and provides almost immediate relaxation. Patients are coherent during their appointment and can communicate with the dentist, but they will be completely at ease from start to finish.

What to expect during a dental visit

At the beginning of the appointment, Dr. Monti Harpalani will ask patients about their anxiety level and help choose the painless dental option most appropriate for one’s needs.
