SAY AHHH! Don't Be Spooked By The Dentist, Visit Regis Court Dental Associates
To some kiddos (and adults!) there's at least one thing scarier than any ghosts, ghouls, or goblins: Going to the dentist!
While a lot of local kids spend the first weeks of fall settling into their school year routines, the cooling of temperatures and arrival of crisp colored leaves signals the arrival of spooky season!
For some, this time of year is marked by pumpkin patch and apple orchard visits, cinnamon-spiced cider, and Green Bay Packers game days. For others, the Autumnal spooky spirit is different; What’s scarier than creepy tales told by flashlight and jump-scare antics around every corner?
To some kiddos (and adults!), there’s at least one thing scarier than any ghosts, ghouls, or goblins: Going to the dentist!
In Eau Claire, Regis Court Dental Associates specifically addresses what they call “dental anxiety.” The longtime family dental practice has served locals since its opening in 1978, offering a wide array of services and care for folks of all ages – and with any level of dental anxiety.
“We take treating our patients like family seriously, and that means providing care that is both personal and professional,” Dr. Lisa Henson said in a recent interview.
“We take the time to listen to our patients’ concerns; we focus on comfort and gentleness, and enhance dental care with expertise and technology,” she continued. “We take our time, explain each step of a procedure, and check in with our patients regularly to ensure they feel at ease.”
That extra-mile care includes physical comforts like cozy blankets and extra pillows, and personal efforts from each team member and doctor. Dr. Trevor Hallberg says giving kids the space to determine parts of their appointment, like the doctors saying, “When you are ready, go ahead and open, and we will start!”
“Using verbiage that is not so scary like “Tooth Bug,” “Sleepy Juice,” and more also helps children be as comfortable as possible,” Dr. Trevor said.
As a family practice, it’s common for multiple generations of a family to return to Regis Court Dental Associates year after year. That familiarity also helps make kids and those with dental anxiety more comfortable going to the dentist.
"Each patient receives individualized care specific for their needs and desires and each member of our team is committed to delivering care with the utmost gentleness and compassion." –Dr. Lisa Henson
“We love to have kids come in with their older siblings and parents to get comfortable being in the dental office. We have families that have been part of the practice for multiple generations,” Dr. Brett Taylor said. “Recently, we had a gentleman state he used to run around this office when he was a child since his parents were patients here. Now his children are continuing in his footsteps and running around here too.”
With Drs. Lisa, Trevor, Brett, and the experienced staff at Regis Court Dental Associates, the team is able to meet nearly all the needs of its patients in-house. By collaborating with an amazing network of trusted specialists, Regis Court Dental Associates is also able to refer out as necessary.
Over the years, each doctor has become known for their all-around skillsets and areas of expertise. For Dr. Lisa, leading the team by example is key; guided by the practice’s mission: Making patients smile not only by the quality of the team’s dental care, but by the quality of their service.
“Each patient receives individualized care specific for their needs and desires and each member of our team is committed to delivering care with the utmost gentleness and compassion,” she said. “To provide the best possible experience, we also believe in continuous learning.”
Dr. Lisa said the team regularly attends continuing education courses to refine their clinical skills and stay current on the latest dentistry advancements. While incorporating modern dental tech enhances their efficiency, it also ensures maximum comfort for patients.
As Regis Court Dental Associates continues to grow alongside the community, the result is exceptional, high-quality care while centering comfort. From routine check-ups to more complex procedures; general and preventative care to restorative and emergency dentistry.
“We emphasize preventative and comprehensive care to help you maintain a healthy smile for life,” Dr. Lisa said.
As Trick-or-Treating creeps up with the promise of sweet treats and candies, don’t let the dentist spook you from taking care of yourself – and your teeth!
