Pathway Dental Group Santa Maria

Dr. Grant Elwood has been successfully treating patients since 1982 and treats all of his patients as he would his wife or mother. Dr. Elwood knows that many patients who call him are suffering a painful dental emergency and want to be seen right away. He does everything possible to see emergencies promptly. Dr. Elwood knows that many people are fearful about treatments. Some dentists have forgotten about these very real concerns, but not Dr. Elwood. That is why he uses a technique called "iatro sedation" (doctor induced sedation). This puts you, the patient, in control. If you need to stop, he stops. If you need more anesthesia, you can have it, and there is no nitrous oxide if you desire it. These and other special calming techniques allow many of Dr. Elwood's patients to say their visit was actually enjoyable. Another important deference at Dr. Elwood's office is that you never receive any unneeded treatments. In fact, he's happy to just "take a look" and if everything is fine, he'll tell you.
