Implants for People with Dental Anxiety
Boise & Meridian
For many patients, the thought of dental surgery can be overwhelming—especially when dealing with dental anxiety. Fortunately, at Treasure Valley Oral & Facial Surgery, we specialize in making implant treatment comfortable, safe, and stress-free. With sedation options and compassionate care, our Boise and Meridian oral surgery teams help anxious patients confidently move forward with dental implants

Understanding Dental Anxiety and Its Impact
Dental anxiety is more common than many people realize. Fear of pain, past negative experiences, or even just the sights and sounds of a dental office can cause patients to delay or avoid essential treatments—like tooth replacement with implants
.
Delaying care can lead to more serious oral health problems, including bone loss, shifting teeth, and worsening gum disease. Implants not only restore your smile—they can prevent future complications and improve your overall health.
