The sound of the dental drill, unpleasant past experiences and fear of pain are all reasons many patients have turned away from dental care in the past. Now with sedation dentistry from Dr. Anna Weber, you no longer have to be afraid of going to the dentist. Patients who have been unable to get the dental care they need for years are now able to visit us regularly and actually enjoy the experience with pain-free dental visits.
