Dental anxiety in Nashua, NH
If fear has kept you away from the dentist, you're not alone, and you won't be judged here. We go at your pace, explain every step, and offer sedation options so you can get the care you need comfortably.
You're in control
Dental anxiety can come from a painful past visit, fear of needles or the sound of the drill, embarrassment about the condition of your teeth, or a feeling of losing control. We start with a conversation, not a procedure. You can tell us what worries you, agree on a signal to pause, and take breaks whenever you need them. We explain what we're doing before we do it, and nothing happens without your agreement.

A calmer visit
Small changes can make a big difference. We take time with numbing so you're comfortable before treatment begins. You're welcome to bring headphones and listen to music, or bring a support person. We can schedule longer appointments so nothing feels rushed, and often we start with simpler care to build trust. Dr. Balani is especially focused on caring for patients who have avoided the dentist because of fear, complex medical conditions, or past negative experiences.
Sedation options
For moderate to severe anxiety, or for longer procedures, sedation can help you relax. Options can include nitrous oxide, which wears off quickly, and IV sedation, which offers a deeper state of relaxation. Many patients remember little of the procedure. With IV sedation, we can sometimes complete more treatment in fewer visits. We review your health history and medications to recommend the safest option, and we monitor you throughout.
