Downers Grove Gentle Dentist

Dr. Karen Blair of Dentistry by Design is Downers Grove’s gentle dentist. Dr. Blair understands that some people may feel nervous about going to the dentist.

Our approach with people who have these fears include gentle treatments such as nitrous oxide sedation and no-drill dentistry.

What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?

Nitrous Oxide Sedation, or laughing gas, is a gentle relaxant which is breathed in through your nose. By doing so, you are able to feel relaxed, and your dental appointment will go smoothly.  When your dental work is complete, simply breathing oxygen for a few minutes allows the nitrous oxide to exit your system completely. This procedure is so gentle, you can drive yourself home just minutes after without any side effects.

No-Drill Dentistry

Most pain from dental procedures are caused by the heat and vibrations of the drill. With our no-drill dentistry techniques, it does not cause heat or vibrations. So, there is very little to no pain involved.
