Virtually Pain Free Dental Care at The TMJ Treatment Center of Southern Colorado...

We know that many patients are apprehensive about receiving dental care. At Dr. Holderbaum's, we pride ourselves on our ability to make each patient as comfortable and relaxed as possible while receiving care.

First, we listen to your concerns. We then discuss different methods for making you as comfortable as possible. Together, we lay out a treatment plan that will meet your needs. We have several options:

Dr. Holderbaum's Sedation Dental Care Program Many of Dr. Holderbaum's patients prefer to relax through their dental care. The TMJ Treatment Center of Southern Colorado offers a Sedation Care Program where qualified patients can just take a small pill and relax and in many cases have all of their dental needs taken care of in just one appointment.

Dr. Holderbaum's Famous Virtually Painless Injection Most of our patients never know they have received an injection. That's because of Dr. Holderbaum's famous virtually "Painless Injection" technique. A topical anesthetic is applied to the tissue with a swab. This anesthetic painlessly numbs the spot where the doctor will give you one of the most gentle injections.

Local Anesthetic For Pain Free Care Injectable anesthetics, such as Lidocaine, prevent pain in a specific area of your mouth during treatment by blocking the nerves that sense or transmit pain and numbing mouth tissues.

They cause the temporary numbness often referred to as a "fat lip" feeling. Injectable anesthetics may be used in such procedures as filling cavities, preparing teeth for crowns or treating gum disease.
