Actually, we can completely! We understand that coming to the dental office is most people’s least favorite thing to do, which is why we do our very best to make your visit as pleasant and comfortable as possible from the moment you walk in the front door, to the part where you have to check out and pay your bill. We believe that many things can be accomplished in life when you are in a relationship that involves a high level of trust and comfort, and this is no different chairside. For many people, it’s not just about the pain of a needle or the sound of a drill, but the feeling of an utter lack of control that can make a dental visit very harrowing. We believe that information, education, empathy and patience are the most effective ways to help our anxious patients navigate their way through a dental appointment. Our practice has also invested in technology to make certain procedures more comfortable and efficient, thereby limiting your time in the chair. Finally, a little humor and lively conversation can go a long way to distracting you from what’s going on. Dr. Drews is a history, politics and 80’s wrestling buff and is looking for any opportunity to talk about his love of Rowdy Roddy Piper. Dr. Patel grew up in Florida so can speak to all things related to fun in the sun but is now in love with all four seasons and can chat about skiing, fishing, hiking, and everything Maine, too.
