You're not the only one who's been putting this off
Most of our patients waited years before they made this call. Some had a bad experience once and never went back. Some just hate the feeling of not being in control once they're in the chair. None of that makes you difficult. It makes you exactly who we built this for.
We're not here to make you feel behind. We're here to make the next step feel small enough to actually take.

Will you make me feel ashamed for waiting this long?
No. Most of our patients waited years too. You're the rule here, not the exception.
What if I panic in the chair and can't tell you to stop?
You set the signals before we start. A hand up, a word, whatever works for you. Nothing continues without your say-so.
Is it going to hurt like it did last time?
That's exactly what the sedation and GA conversation is for. You can be comfortably numb, sedated, or fully asleep. Your choice.
Every dentist says they're gentle. How is this different?
We'd rather show you than tell you. That's what the telehealth consult is for, you get to hear directly from Dr Avanti Karve before you ever book anything further.
Will you try to upsell me things I don't need?
Dr Avanti Karve only recommends what genuinely makes sense for you. If something isn't necessary, she'll tell you that too.
What if I haven't seen a dentist in years?
You're not alone. Many of our patients go years without care because of anxiety. We focus on helping you move forward without judgement, whenever you're ready.
