Donovan Browning is a California dentist who has been in practice since 2006. He says it's important for people to have dental check-ups every six months, but knows that a lot of people dread going to the dentist. Because of that, Donovan Browning has made a visit to his office as pleasant an experience as possible. "We have a fun and friendly atmosphere," he says.

Dentistry in the twenty-first century is not nearly as disagreeable an experience as it once was, he says, and Donovan Browning stays on top of all its latest advances. "I am always looking to learn new techniques in dentistry," he says. "I enjoy taking continuing education classes and take many of them." In particular, Donovan Browning has been a frequent visitor to the Kois Center, an advanced instructional and clinical program for practicing dentists in Seattle, Washington. He has taken classes on implant surgery, Invisalign, oral sedation, and dental lasers, among others.

Creating a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere and keeping up with the latest techniques, says Donovan Browning, are just two of the things that makes a good dentist. Another is the relationship between the dentist and each patient. The mouth, he says, is a very sensitive place, and so it is important for a dentist to have a gentle touch.

But Donovan Browning understands that some patients are going to be tense during an appointment, and he and his staff are prepared for that. He tries hard to put each patient at ease, but there will always be patients with high levels of stress. "We help people who are anxious and nervous by using oral sedation medications, so people are relaxed and don't remember the appointment. It's great for people with high dental anxiety."

Donovan Browning is passionate about oral hygiene and about making sure each of his patients understands its importance. He wants them all to develop good brushing habits, and he is committed to helping them to have a healthy mouth.

Services provided by Donovan Browning and his staff in Auburn, California include dental implants, veneers, Invisalign, gum surgery with dental lasers, and sleep apnea devices. He also uses all-porcelain crowns.
