Total Dental Care

You've Found Your New Dental Home

Dental anxiety is more common than you think—whether it’s the fear of dental tools, procedures, or potential pain, we understand how overwhelming it can be.

As dentistry continues to advance, so do the comfort measures available to make your experience as pleasant as possible. Often, the more fear takes hold, the more it can amplify the sensation of pain, making it harder to get the care you need.

At Total Dental Care, we prioritize your comfort and peace of mind. We offer sedation options tailored to ease your fears, allowing you to receive the dental care you deserve without the stress or discomfort.

Dr. Dickey holds a Permit A for sedation dentistry, enabling him to make your visit as calm as possible. We also offer calming medications and local anesthetics that block nerve pain, providing effective relief during your treatment.

Don’t let fear stand in the way of your dental health and the smile you’ve been waiting for. We’re here to help you achieve your smile goals comfortably and confidently.

I wear a partial. Dr Dickey is coming in on his day off to deliver my new partial! That's personal care. Love how safe and free from pain I feel at Total Dental Care. I know I am not going to be hurt. I had fun with Dr Dickey during my crown preparation. We listened to music. Doc sang and danced to 80s alternative music to make me feel more comfortable! (I'm not afraid to go to the dentist anymore!) I almost look forward to visiting the dentist because of Dr Dickey and his fabulous, fun staff!!

Two visits. They fixed a crown issue I had that my long time DDS could not. Switch to them and then had a teeth cleaning. Great staff. Great experience.

I came to Total Dental Care seeking care with me in mind and found it in spades, from Dr. Dickey to the incredible staff, this is the only place to go if you want dental care from a group that’ll make you feel like one of them. I’m forever grateful for the work they all do.
