On this page, you'll find some of those we hear most frequently.

General Dentistry
Dental anxiety is extremely common—you're not alone, and we completely understand. At Hu Smiles, Dr. Hu and our team are particularly sensitive to nervous patients' needs and have created an environment designed to help you feel safe and comfortable.
We Never Judge at Our Renton Dental Office
Many anxious patients worry about being lectured or criticized, especially if it's been years since their last visit. That won't happen here. Our team focuses on where you're going, not where you've been, and we treat every patient with compassion and respect.
Comfort Options Available
We offer several ways to make your visit more relaxing:
- Nitrous oxide sedation — Safe, fast-acting "laughing gas" helps you feel calm while remaining awake and responsive.
- Oral conscious sedation — Involves taking a calming medication before the appointment for deeper relaxation.
- IV general anesthesia — Provided by a trusted anesthesiologist, you will be fully asleep.
- Noise-cancelling headphones — Listen to your favorite music or podcasts to block out dental sounds.
- Gentle, unhurried approach — We take our time and never rush through appointments.
- Clear communication — We explain what's happening before we do it, so there are no surprises.
You're Always in Control
Let us know about your anxiety when you schedule your appointment. We'll take extra time to answer questions, explain each step of your visit, and give you control over the pace of treatment. Need a break? Just raise your hand. Want to understand something better? Ask anytime.
Your comfort matters to us, and we're here to help you get the dental care you need without fear or judgment. Call our Renton, WA, dental office at (253) 277-8767 to see how we can help you.
