Dr. Archie Cook, Jr., is a U.S. Air Force veteran on a mission here in Cary, NC. He opened his practice in 2015 with one goal in mind: to create a place where people actually enjoy going to the dentist, and that's just what he did. Patients appreciate his approachable vibe and friendly demeanor, to the point that they tell us they're excited about their dental visits!

Stress-Free Dentistry in Cary

Dr. Cook understands what it's like to feel anxious about visiting the dentist, and he's determined to ensure that every patient has access to the high-quality dental care he believes everybody deserves. Because of this, he offers several levels of dental sedation so patients can get the comfortable, stress-free care they need. This includes:

  • Nitrous oxide (also called laughing gas)
  • Oral sedation
  • In-office general anesthesia with a licensed anaesthesiologist 

You can discuss your fears and concerns with Dr. Cook to determine the best type of sedation for your needs.
