Century Dental Associates
“I had a very bad experience when I was a teenager with a dentist and it stopped me from returning to the dentist since. When I was 45 I went to Century Dental and had a consult with Dr. Jason Hanyon. I explained to him that the sound of the drill and the whole environment causes me to have extreme anxiety. To the point where I can’t control my heart rate. He examined me and told me I needed to start with having a root canal and that I wouldn’t feel a thing and I’d be okay. Turns out I was okay and I didn’t feel a thing. My plan was to keep going back and get my whole mouth restored. It was over 25 years and I needed quite a bit done. Well it took me 5 years to get back to him. I’m now 50 and I have been to the office every few weeks recently for the past few months and I have a few more visits to go but for the first time in my entire life I am able to smile without putting my hand over my mouth or not showing my teeth at all. At each visit I still get anxiety, but it is less and less because I know I am in very good hands with Dr. Hanyon. And Brittany, his dental assistant, has been just as wonderful. Not being able to smile, or look at people and talk and laugh knowing how bad my teeth looked has affected my entire adult life. If you are afraid of the dentist, the sounds, or environment….I highly recommend giving Century Dental a call. I stayed away from a dentist for almost 30 years because I was afraid of feeling that pain from the drill I felt as a teenager. I have had no pain on any visit here. I actually look forward to going now because they are so nice. Dr. Hanyon has changed my life. I am very happy with all the work he’s done and I can’t tell you how good it feels to finally be able to smile.”
