Dr. Kate Raymond founded her practice in Barberton with one guiding principle: no one should have to suffer through dental care in fear. She understands that dental anxiety is real, deeply personal, and far more common than most people realize.
Her approach is different. Every treatment plan begins with a conversation — not a checklist. She takes the time to understand your concerns, explain every step in plain language, and adjust the pace to your comfort level. There's never pressure to rush.
With over 15 years of experience and a specialization in sedation dentistry, Dr. Raymond has helped thousands of patients — including those who hadn't been to a dentist in years — rediscover the confidence of a healthy smile.
Whether it's been months or years since your last visit, we welcome you exactly as you are. Your comfort matters more than any checklist.
Need a break? Want to discuss the next step before we continue? We pause. Your control over the process is what makes sedation dentistry work.
From the moment you arrive, our office is designed to feel like a spa, not a clinic. Soft lighting, soothing music, and a team that genuinely cares.
We explain every recommendation clearly, including costs, so there are never surprises. You'll always know exactly what to expect.
These are real words from real patients who chose to stop avoiding their dental care.
"I hadn't been to a dentist in over ten years. The first visit was the easiest I've ever had — I actually fell asleep during my cleaning. I can't believe I waited this long."
"My daughter has special needs and we were terrified of finding a dentist who could handle it with patience. Dr. Raymond is incredible — she took every step at our pace and made it a positive experience."
"I've been bringing my entire family here for years. The kids actually look forward to their checkups now — something I never thought I'd hear. That says everything."
