At our office, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some people. Whether it’s anxiety about treatment, past dental experiences, or simply feeling nervous about being in a dental chair, we are always looking for ways to make your visit more comfortable and relaxing.
One of the ways we do that is with our two friendly German Shepherds, Samson and Delilah.
A Different Kind of Dental Experience
Many patients are surprised to discover that one of the most comforting parts of their appointment is being greeted by a wagging tail. Samson and Delilah have become beloved members of our dental family and are often the first to welcome patients through the door.
Their calm, friendly presence helps create a relaxed atmosphere that feels more like visiting friends than visiting a dental office.
How Comfort Dogs Help Reduce Anxiety
Studies have shown that interacting with friendly dogs can help:
- Lower stress and anxiety
- Reduce blood pressure
- Create feelings of comfort and relaxation
- Distract from dental fears
- Make appointments more enjoyable
Many patients who feel nervous about dental treatment find that spending a few minutes with Samson or Delilah helps them feel more at ease before and during their visit.
Meet Samson and Delilah
Samson
Samson is a gentle giant with a calm personality and a love for meeting new people. He enjoys greeting patients and is always happy to receive a friendly pat or scratch behind the ears.
Delilah
Delilah is affectionate, attentive, and has a special talent for sensing when someone needs a little extra comfort. Her friendly nature has helped countless patients feel more relaxed during their appointments.
Patient Favorites
Over the years, Samson and Delilah have become favorites among many of our patients. Some patients look forward to seeing them just as much as they look forward to seeing our dental team. Children, teens, and adults alike often comment on how much more comfortable they feel when the dogs are nearby.
Your Comfort Comes First
While many patients enjoy interacting with Samson and Delilah, we understand that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. If you prefer not to have contact with them during your visit, simply let us know. We are happy to accommodate your preferences and ensure you have a positive experience.

For more than 25 years, our goal has been to provide exceptional dental care in a warm, welcoming environment. Advanced technology, personalized treatment, and a caring team all play a role in that mission—and so do Samson and Delilah.
