In 2025, dental anxiety is being tackled with the power of immersive technology, and Kevin Molldrem DDS is pioneering its use. His clinic integrates virtual reality headsets that transport patients to calming natural landscapes or interactive 3D environments during procedures. This sensory distraction significantly reduces perceived pain and anxiety, especially during longer treatments like root canals or cosmetic restorations. For children and nervous patients, this innovation is a game-changer. Dr. Molldrem customizes the VR experiences based on patient preferences, making visits feel more like a relaxing escape than a medical appointment. This emotional-first approach blends compassionate care with futuristic tech, ensuring that mental well-being is prioritized just as much as oral health. It’s dentistry that treats the person, not just the tooth.
