Choosing a dentist is a significant decision that impacts your overall health and well-being. At Mason Dental, we understand the concerns patients have when selecting a dental provider. You want to find somewhere that will take care of you, first and foremost. After all, your smile shouldn’t be trusted to just anyone.
New patients often come to us after a long time away from the dentist. Whether it be due to a difficult experience or just general anxiety. Here are the top five questions we frequently encounter, along with our approach to addressing them to put your mind at ease.
“Will this procedure hurt?”
Dental anxiety is common, and we’re committed to ensuring your comfort. Modern advancements in pain management and sedation techniques have transformed dental care. Options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and intravenous (IV) sedation are available to help patients relax during procedures. These methods allow for a more comfortable experience, even during complex treatments.
At Mason Dental, we take the time to discuss these options with you, tailoring our approach to your comfort level and the specific procedure.
“What are my treatment options?”
Every patient is unique, and so are their dental needs. We believe in personalized treatment plans that consider your oral health goals, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you’re interested in preventive care, restorative procedures, or cosmetic enhancements like smile design dentistry, we provide a range of options. By involving you in the decision-making process, we ensure that your treatment plan aligns with your preferences and needs.
“How much will it cost?”
Understanding the financial aspect of dental care is crucial. Mason Dental provides transparent treatment plans before starting your case, ensuring there are no surprises. You’ll feel confident about your customized plan as our Doctors and team walk beside you each step of the way.

“What’s the best way to maintain my oral health at home?”
Maintaining oral health between dental visits is essential. We recommend:
- Brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Flossing daily to remove plaque between teeth.
- Using an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce bacteria.
- Eating a balanced diet low in sugary snacks and drinks.
- Replacing your toothbrush every three to four months.
Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also vital to prevent issues and maintain a healthy smile.
