Dental Anxiety
In Mountlake Terrace

A Safe-Space for All Smiles 

If the thought of going to the dentist makes you nervous, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety affects people of all ages—and at Terrace Creek Dental Care, we’re here to help you feel calm, supported, and in control. From the moment you walk through our doors, we focus on making your experience as comfortable as possible, so you can get the care you need without fear or stress.

Treatment for Dental Anxiety

Here are a few benefits of getting treatment:

Care Designed with You in Mind: We know that dental anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. That’s why our approach is flexible, compassionate, and always personalized. Whether it’s the sound of the drill, a sensitive gag reflex, or a previous traumatic experience, we’re here to meet you where you are—with real solutions that help you feel calm and confident in the chair.

Advanced Technology for a More Comfortable Experience: Our digital tools aren’t just cutting-edge—they’re designed to make your visit smoother and more comfortable. With digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3D smile planning, we can diagnose and treat with precision while keeping procedures as gentle and minimally invasive as possible.

Sedation Options to Ease Your Mind: If you need extra help relaxing, we offer safe and effective sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation. These calming techniques can take the edge off anxiety and make your visit feel more manageable—even enjoyable.

Personalized Visits That Move at Your Pace: There’s no rushing here. We take our time to explain each step, check in often, and make sure you’re comfortable before we begin. You’re in control, and we’ll work together to make your experience as stress-free as possible.

A Compassionate Team You Can Count On: Our team has helped hundreds of patients overcome dental anxiety—and we’d be honored to help you, too. We believe that trust is built over time, with honest conversations, thoughtful care, and genuine support every step of the way.

"Dr Jagow and staff are absolutely wonderful. Everyone I have had the chance to meet has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Anthony from the front desk has gone out of his way multiple times to help accommodate scheduling and help with insurance. The techs and assistants are great! Dr Jagow is friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent dentist. I’ve had cleanings, my first crown, and my first veneers in her office and every time has been a great experience. I love that they can print crowns in house. 100% recommend."

"She is very informative about what she is doing. I have now been to see Dr. Jagow twice in the last 3 weeks. Once for a first time cleaning, and second for a filling to be replaced. She is very informative about what she is doing and makes sure you are comfortable with everything before she does it. There was no discomfort at all with anything she did, including drilling out the old filling without numbing me (at my choice). She is that good! As is her staff, they are all, simply amazing!"

"Professional friendly team who were able to get me in quick! Has wonderful staff and hygienists that are attentive to patient's needs and are thorough with cleanings, addressing oral health, and educating patients as well! Thank you team at Terrace Creek Dental! Also side note, this is one of the few dental clinics I was able to find in the area that provided in-house dental insurance for those that may need it! Thank you again!"
