Finally, Overcome Your Dental Fear and Achieve a Healthy Smile—Serving El Monte and Surrounding Areas

Many of our patients at Angel Dental Care have shared similar feelings. It’s completely normal to feel anxious about dental visits. Sometimes, past experiences, certain sounds or smells, or even just the thought of someone working in your mouth can trigger these feelings. We understand these anxieties, and that’s why Dr. Zaghi and our entire team are dedicated to creating a calming and supportive environment here in our El Monte office. We’ll take the time to listen to your specific concerns and work with you to find the best ways to manage your anxiety.

We hear you! Many of our patients haven’t been to the dentist in a while due to fear. At Angel Dental Care, we’ve created a very different experience. We prioritize gentle care and use the latest, most comfortable dental techniques. Our El Monte office is designed to be relaxing, and we offer various sedation options, from nitrous oxide to total sleep dentistry, to ensure your comfort. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much more positive a dental visit can be.

Choosing the right dentist is crucial when you’re dealing with dental anxiety. We encourage you to ask friends or family for recommendations, especially if they’ve had positive experiences overcoming their own fears. At Angel Dental Care, we specialize in treating anxious patients. Dr. Zaghi and our team have over 20 years of experience in creating a comfortable and supportive environment. We invite you to schedule a consultation to meet us, see our El Monte office, and decide if we’re the right fit for you. You can read testimonials from our many happy, formerly anxious patients on our website.

Yes, and Angel Dental Care is proud to be one of them! We understand that dental anxiety is a real issue for many people, and we’ve made it our mission to create a welcoming and stress-free environment for our patients here in El Monte. We regularly work with patients who have varying degrees of dental fear, and we’re confident we can help you, too.

It’s natural to be concerned about this, but we encourage you not to worry. At Angel Dental Care, our focus is on preventative care and helping you achieve and maintain a healthy mouth. During your first visit, we’ll perform a thorough examination and discuss your specific needs. You might be surprised at how little treatment is actually required. Our goal is to get your oral health on track and make future visits easy and routine check-ups. We also have multiple payment options, no hidden fees, and financing.

Your first appointment at our El Monte office is all about getting to know each other. We’ll start with a conversation where you can share your concerns and goals with Dr. Zaghi. Then, we’ll gently examine your teeth, possibly taking some X-rays. We’ll explain everything clearly and develop a personalized treatment plan together. This initial visit is a chance for you to experience our caring approach and see if Angel Dental Care is the right place for you. There is no pressure at all.

Absolutely! At Angel Dental Care, we want to know if you’re feeling nervous. It helps us tailor our approach to your specific needs. Dr. Zaghi and our team are trained to recognize and address dental anxiety. The more we know about your concerns, the better we can help you feel comfortable and at ease during your visit.

Many of our patients share this concern. At Angel Dental Care, we offer a topical anesthetic gel that numbs the area before any injection. This significantly reduces any discomfort. We also offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide and total sleep dentistry, which can help you relax and eliminate any awareness of the injection. We’ll discuss all these options with you during your consultation.

We recommend scheduling your appointment at Angel Dental Care for a time when you typically feel most relaxed and don’t have other pressing commitments. This might be early in the morning or later in the afternoon. We offer flexible appointment times at our El Monte office to accommodate your schedule. We also advise having a light meal beforehand to avoid feeling faint during your visit.

Yes, you can! At Angel Dental Care, we offer total sleep dentistry (intravenous sedation) for patients who experience severe anxiety or require extensive dental work. This allows you to sleep comfortably through the entire procedure and wake up with no memory of it. We’ll discuss whether this option is right for you during your consultation.

Absolutely! Your comfort is our priority at Angel Dental Care. Before we begin any treatment, we’ll establish a clear signal (like raising your hand) that you can use to let us know you need a break. We’ll stop immediately and make sure you’re okay before proceeding. You are in control of your appointment.

Of course! Bringing a supportive friend or family member to your appointment at our El Monte office is a great idea. They can provide reassurance and help you feel more at ease. Just let us know when you schedule your appointment so we can accommodate them comfortably.

We want you to be as comfortable as possible during your visit to Angel Dental Care. Many patients find that listening to music through headphones helps them relax. Feel free to bring your phone or MP3 player and your favorite playlist. We can even provide you with a blanket and pillow.

After your check-up at Angel Dental Care, we’ll discuss any necessary treatment in detail. We’ll work together to prioritize procedures based on your needs and comfort level. You might choose to start with a simple cleaning or address any urgent issues first. We’ll never pressure you, and we’ll make sure you understand each step of your treatment plan.

We find that distraction techniques can be very helpful. At Angel Dental Care, you’re welcome to listen to music, or we can guide you through some simple relaxation exercises. Some patients find it helpful to focus on a specific thought or task, like planning a vacation or solving a mental puzzle. We’ll work with you to find what works best for you.

At Angel Dental Care, we offer a range of techniques to help our anxious patients. In addition to oral sedation and total sleep dentistry, we use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for milder anxiety. Dr. Zaghi and our team are also trained in relaxation and communication techniques to keep you calm and informed throughout your visit. We even have a certified therapist on staff to offer extra support if needed. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which options are best suited to your individual needs.

At Angel Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The cost of treatment will vary depending on your individual needs and whether you opt for sedation. We’ll provide you with a detailed estimate before any treatment begins. We also offer a variety of payment options, including financing plans, to make your care accessible.
