Do you often find yourself avoiding the dentist’s office? Did you have a negative experience in the past that left you cringing at the thought of settling back in that big chair? Maybe you’re just anxious about the pain, or you’re embarrassed about the state of your oral health. Whatever the reason is, our dedicated team at Papageorgiou Dental Associates wants to assure you that at our Natick, MA practice, your comfort will always come first. You deserve excellent, thorough healthcare that leaves you with a smile you can feel proud of, and with the help of our comfort dentistry services, that’s just what you’ll get when you come in to visit Dr. Papageorgiou and her staff.
Comfort dentistry isn’t a specific treatment or amenity – instead, it’s an entire atmosphere! At our practice, we don’t just want to fix your teeth and send you on your way; we want you to feel right at home during your visits at our Natick office. That’s why we’ve spared no expense in outfitting the practice with all sorts of technologies and simple comforts that are guaranteed to make your dental care experience much smoother and more pleasant. For instance, we use intraoral cameras and digital X-rays to take detailed pictures of the inside of your mouth that we can then easily share with you, dispelling any uncertainty or confusion about your oral health problems. We also often rely on air abrasion for procedures, which uses air compression to blast away decay and plaque from your teeth in place of drills.
In order to ensure your comfort, we also offer:
- Tempurpedic mattress pads
- Warm towels and blankets
- Relaxing music and headphones
- Movies of your choice

Whether damage happens because of age, trauma, or simply a lack of brushing and flossing, we’re not here to judge at 
In the dentist’s office, you’re probably used to hearing all about the common oral health problems that can affect your teeth, from cavities to gum disease to misalignments. But did you know that one of the most painful and frustrating oral conditions you can experience actually affects an area of the mouth you may have never even heard of before?
No matter how well we care for our teeth over time, many of us will still suffer crucial damage to our teeth at some point. Maybe it happens because of a sudden, shocking injury to the face that leaves you with an ugly crack, or perhaps your age has simply caught up with your smile. Even if you have neglected dental care and your tooth breaks down due to decay, that doesn’t mean you aren’t deserving of effective, precise treatment that will rectify the damage. Crowns are one of the restorative treatments that you may need in order to rebuild your damaged teeth and restore their functionality and beauty.

Whatever the case is, root canals are not as bad as they’ve been built up to be over time. In fact, they’re a crucial and effective treatment that can save your natural teeth from having to be extracted due to extensive decay or infection.
