We designed Andover Family Dentistry with your comfort and convenience in mind. We want you to feel calm and relaxed in our care, so we offer amenities to make your visit to the dentist more pleasurable. We also know that your time is valuable and you need a dental practice that will work with your schedule, so we offer scheduling options that work with even our busiest patients’ schedules. Dr. Howell and his friendly team strive to make each visit as comfortable as possible.
Comforting Amenities
These chairs are truly amazing. We can guarantee these are the most comfortable dental chairs you will ever try. No matter if your appointment is short or long, these chairs will help make any appointment more enjoyable.
While in our massaging dental chairs, you control the TV. Whether it is HGTV, ESPN, or cartoons, you have plenty of stations to choose from, so the time in the chair goes by more quickly.
We know it is hard to relax when other people are around, so our private treatment rooms are the perfect solution. Our office utilizes soundproof, full walls (not cabinet partitions or assembled walls) between each of our treatment rooms. We know our patients want privacy when it comes to their dental visits.
No matter why you are visiting us, we always promise to move at a pace that keeps you relaxed. Our gentle staff treats you with the compassion and care you deserve. We also utilize extra-strength numbing gels to help reduce the sensation of receiving a dental injection. The gel is powerful enough that in some cases, you won’t even need a dental injection!
If you feel anxiety when visiting the dentist, we can offer nitrous oxide. Most patients say this gas keeps them comfortable during treatment. This is a very safe and comfortable way to help our anxious patients complete their dental care.
If you arrive early to your appointment or if you are waiting for a family member while they receive dental treatment, feel free to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee. We offer an assortment of coffees so you can find the perfect brew for you.
Convenience
We know our patients have lives outside of our office. That is why we have designed our office to provide flexibility for even the busiest of schedules! To make dental visits convenient for our patients, we offer appointments before and after work, easy family-block appointments, and treatment to complete the needed dentistry in as few visits as possible.
Balancing work, school, and family extracurricular activities can make fitting dental care into your life challenging. That is why we open as early as 7 am and stay open until 6 pm. This makes it easier to find appointments before or after work, and around your children’s school schedules.
Many dental practices take a lunch break from 12 pm to 1 pm. Not us! We know this is when most people take lunch, so we stay open. Schedule your noon appointment and be back at work before your lunch break is over!
Large families have a hard time scheduling dental appointments because they have to take into account everyone’s individual schedules. We want to help make the scheduling process a little easier with family-block appointments. We can see everyone in your family at the same time or back-to-back.
Our office is excited to offer this convenience to our patients! You can now take your time filling out your new patient forms in the comfort of your home using our secure portal for online forms. We will have your digital forms ready for electronic signature upon your arrival. This is a great time saver and will allow us to focus on providing you with exceptional dental care.
There is never a good time for a dental emergency, and when you have a question regarding your dental health, you want an answer right away. We always have knowledgeable team members answering the phones Monday–Friday, and we give out an after-hours emergency phone number to our patients. Feel free to call us anytime. We can answer your questions, go over post-op instructions, and schedule appointments.
Our office is situated right off Andover Road between Central St. and 13th St. We are only a couple of miles from Kellogg, making our office an easy stop on your way to work or school.
If you experience a dental emergency after business hours, please call our Andover, KS office for instructions on how to reach Dr. Howell.
