Overcome Your Anxiety & Keep Your Smile Healthy
One cause for anxiety about the dentist is a previous bad experience. If you have ever visited a cold dentist in a clinical-looking office, you may feel uncomfortable about your dental appointment. But as our patient, you’ll feel at home when you walk through our doors. Our comforting office with a fireplace and homey atmosphere eases most nerves immediately. You’ll also appreciate:
- Sedation Options – We have sedation available to you: laughing gas or oral sedation. Your dentist will discuss which will work best for you. Oral sedation does require you to have a ride home after your appointment.
- Advanced Technology – Your dentists have invested in technology for easier visits. For example, digital X-rays capture detailed images of your mouth without exposing you to as much radiation. Intraoral cameras allow us to show you what we see inside your mouth. That way, you can easily understand our treatment recommendations.
- Comforting Amenities – Sometimes the small touches make the biggest difference. We’ll offer blanket so you can get cozy in the chair. We’ll also give you a warm towel at the end of your appointment. You’ll leave our office feeling refreshed.
Call 763-401-6430 if you need help with relieving dental anxiety in Anoka. You can also request an appointment online.

I have been seeing Dr. Keller and Dr. Vasko for many years. I have always felt some anxiety about going to dental appointments but after I found these dentists that feeling is mostly gone.

Ryan U
Wow, I just can’t say enough about these guys! From the very first phone call I made, I felt very confident in this team! I had a ton of questions for the receptionist and she made me feel so comfortable! I then had a consult with Mrs Vasko. I was so nervous, becuase I’ve neglected my teeth for a long time, so I was embarrassed! Dr Vasko made me feel SO comfortable and came up with a plan for both the general and cosmetic dentistry work needed. I’ve now seen them every Wed for four weeks. Each and every time I see them, they are very welcoming. They all just have a very warm way about them that makes you feel like you’re part of their family! Since, my wife has also started seeing Dr Vasko and shares the exact experience as me! We will never neglect our teeth again now that we have found our forever Dentistry! We plan on sending all of our children through next! Love these guys and just can’t recommend them enough! Thanks for always making me feel relaxed, assured and excited! See you next week!

Top notch dental office! Everyone is kind and personable. Most of all, I have to say that Dr.Keller is so GREAT about administering the lidocaine (numbing juice)! I’ve had a LOT of dental work over the years, and have sat in tears after a poor administration of the deadening substance. With Dr.Keller, I was totally at ease and hardly felt ANY discomfort! I had a new crown put in. He sure knows his stuff! It looks and feels great! Highly & totally recommend!
Susan T

Dr Vasko is great with children. She is gentle, explains everything at an age appropriate level, and takes her time to answer any questions you or your child may have. The dental clinic is picturesque while the staff is very personable. Dr Vasko and her staff do a wonderful job at creating a comfortable space for your dental needs. Our family would highly recommend Dr Keller and Dr Vasko.
Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety
Yes, we would be more than happy to help you through your dental anxiety. Over the years, we’ve been able to help thousands of patients relax so they could receive much-needed dental care. Our staff is trained to be as calming and compassionate as possible, and they would love the chance to help you, too.
Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.
We’re happy to talk with you about strategies for relieving dental anxiety, such as coming up with a signal (like a raised hand) that indicates you need to take a short break during your appointment. Many patients feel less anxious in our office, which feels more like a home than a hospital. Plus, we offer two kinds of dental sedation if you need it.
