Sedation dentistry with Dr. Korwin overcame ten years of dental anxiety
I have had a dental phobia for most of my life. Bad experiences as a child and young adult had contributed
to my fear of dentists. The sounds of the drill, the smells of the office all contributed to the big fear.
I would sit in the dental chair and grip the arms, just waiting for the pain. The heart palpitations
and anxiety I experienced were frightening.
The longer I stayed away from the dentist, the more intense my fear became. Conversations about dentists would set me off into tears. Of course, staying away from the dentist for approximately 10 years caused many problems. I was losing pieces of my back teeth (molars). I chewed my food very carefully and made sure I didn’t chew in the area where the tooth was deteriorating. I then realized that, if I was losing my back teeth, it was going to happen to my front teeth as well if I didn’t take action. Two years in a row, I made emergency visits to an oral surgeon for extractions. Both years, they occurred at Christmas time.
I was so disappointed in myself. Here I am, an educated person with dental insurance, and I couldn’t conquer this phobia. I had so many conversations with my husband Jim about going to his dentist, but I always backed out. He kept saying, just go in for a consultation, just talk to him. Well, after that last Christmas and emergency extraction, I finally made an appointment to see my husband’s dentist, Dr. Robert Korwin, for a consultation.
As a medical librarian, I specialize in researching medical literature. I researched Dr. Korwin and found him to be a dentist who has published and lectured and frequently attends continuing education classes for advanced dentistry. He has a state-of-the art dental practice. He has even patented his inventions.
Dr. Korwin and his staff took every measure to make my consultation comfortable. He sat me down in a private room just to talk. He ensured me that he would only do what I wanted, and if I were ever uncomfortable with any procedures or felt the slightest twinge of pain, he would take measures to ease them. He wanted to know what my goals were; what I wanted the most was a healthy mouth. I was fearful, with my family history of heart disease and diabetes, that I would be in real trouble if I didn’t take care of my teeth.
I became a patient of Dr. Korwin’s in 2005 and have had many procedures (fillings, extractions) over the years. I’ve never had to grip the arms of the dental chair. If I felt the slightest discomfort, he took measures to ease it. Sedation dentistry is a blessing, as I was able to conquer my fear and get a lot of work done without discomfort.
The staff was always compassionate and caring and never made me feel foolish about my phobia. Even having my teeth cleaned was not painful, because they would use numbing gel for my sensitive teeth.
I trust Dr. Korwin and his staff to provide the best dental care for me. I had two dental implants and braces. Me, having braces! Who would have thought? My braces were just recently removed, and I had my teeth whitened. I not only have a healthy mouth, but now I have a beautiful smile! This is a goal I never would have thought I could achieve three years ago. I’ve received so many compliments about my smile, and that I found the courage to get all this dental work done and conquer my phobia. I have discovered that there are so many people that fear dentists and find my story encouraging.
My son is getting married in September, and now I’m not afraid to smile for the photographers. Dr. Korwin advertises his practice as advanced dentistry with a gentle touch, which is exactly what I was looking for!

A time-challenged plastic surgeon recommends Dr. Korwin
Dr. Korwin has taken care of my teeth (and my wife’s) for the past six years. He has been my general dentist and also become my cosmetic dentist: I’m now doing Invisalign under his care.
I started Invisalign in July 2007. I’ve always had crooked lower teeth to some degree and never really had the time to devote myself to a compliant treatment regimen that having braces would require. When Dr. Korwin told me about Invisalign and showed me, with photographs, the great result he anticipated for me, I decided to try it. Now, I’m six months into it and very glad that I did it. I'm noticing great results already, which I easily see when comparing my current photographs with those from three months ago, or with pre-treatment photos.
I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in a busy practice here in Monmouth County. Despite my rigorous schedule, my Invisalign treatment and follow-up care has been easy to handle. Dr. Korwin and his staff have always accommodated me when I needed to schedule an appointment at a specific time. Invisalign, in general, is easy even for a busy plastic surgeon. I’m glad I chose to go that route with my cosmetic treatment.
Dr. Korwin is the epitome of what every doctor should strive to be. He is a “complete” doctor. In other words, he treats the “whole” patient. He’s concerned with not only the patient's dental hygiene, but also the patient's nutrition, cardiovascular health, digestive system, other medical issues such as diabetes, etc. He has treated me with the utmost compassion and professionalism.
In addition, Dr. Korwin emphasizes continuing medical education. Professionally, I can relate to the importance of attending local and national meetings on a regular basis to stay on the “cutting edge” of my specialty. Like me, Dr. Korwin is not afraid to say, “I learned a new technique that will enhance my practice and provide better results for my patients.” The way in which Dr. Korwin evolves with his profession and his scientific approach impresses me the most.
I feel truly at home when I'm at Dr. Korwin's office. I, too, strive to maintain a very cordial, personable and professional staff and environment, which is what I’ve experienced in Dr. Korwin's office.
Dr. Korwin’s unique mix of knowledge, technique, professionalism and personality make it easy for me to recommend his practice to others.
