From the team at Sigma Dental Clinic · Last updated October 29, 2026
A gentle dentist puts your comfort first: making sure you are fully numb before treatment, moving at a calm pace, explaining what will happen, and pausing whenever you need. Gentle care is especially helpful for people with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, children, and anyone who has had a hard visit before.
At Sigma Dental Clinic on W Foster Ave in Lincoln Square, Dr. Sepi Dashti, DMD, DDS, has more than 15 years of experience. Our team speaks English, Farsi, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and Romanian, so you can ask questions in the language you are most comfortable with. If dental visits make you anxious, read our guide for nervous patients.

We numb the area and check that you are fully numb before we begin. If you feel anything, tell us and we will add more.
