NBR- dentist recs in RR?

amyinaustin

I haven't been in forever and the last dentist I went to has since retired.  I was never much of a fan anyway though.

I have moderate to severe anxiety when it comes to getting things done on my teeth though.  I can make it through an exam and cleaning, but if I need work done like a filing, I usually need to take some medication.  So I'll probably need to look into sedation dentistry eventually.

Any recs for a dentist that is at least a little sensitive to patient anxiety that happens to be in RR?  There are tons of medical office parks around us (in the Avery Ranch area) but I don't want to just randomly try a place blind - so recs are appreciated!  TIA

LOVE our dentist!  He's super sweet and all the ladies there are SO nice.  It's a really nice office, and it's pretty close to you, I think.

I just went yesterday after having to have a root canal in Dec and then the crown put on. I used Dr. Zavala at Old Settlers Dental. He is incredibly nice explains everything to you so you know what he is doing and he has tvs above each chair that helps with a distraction. He's also not too bad to look at ;-) I have terrible anxiety and feel pain really bad and he was incredibly considerate and used more drugs to numb me than my previous dentist. If you go in before Feb ends for a cleaning they will give you and your referral fitted guards and the whitening agents for free too. So if you go tell them I sent ya so I can get some ;-)

I love them!  They are close to Avery Ranch too.  Just south of 45 on Parmer.

Dr. Zavala is a college friend of mine, a great guy (very warm demeanor), and a terrific dentist.  He did great work on my teeth.  And, yes, he's a cutie.  I would highly recommend him!  Deanna is a great hygienist and very gentle in her cleaning.
