For many people, the idea of oral surgery stirs up anxiety, but at Colesville Dentistry in Silver Spring, MD, it doesn’t have to. Dr. Eric Chai and our trusted team understand how intimidating the word “surgery” can sound.

Understanding the Roots of Dental Anxiety
Dental fear is deeply personal and often stems from past experiences or uncertainty about procedures. By identifying what causes anxiety, we can offer more personalized, compassionate care. Common fears include:
- Fear of pain during or after the procedure
- Concern over not feeling in control
- Negative memories of past dental experiences
- Worry about anesthesia or recovery time
At Colesville Dentistry, we aim to ease those concerns through genuine communication and a kind, patient-first approach. From your first phone call to the moment you step into our relaxing office (complete with ceiling-mounted TVs and massage chairs), you’ll feel welcomed and cared for.
How Advanced Technology Creates a Better Experience
Integrating advanced technology is more than just staying current. It’s about creating a more gentle and precise surgical experience for you. Our practice uses top-tier tools to reduce discomfort, shorten procedure times, and deliver excellent results with minimal disruption to your life. These include:
