Dr. Ron Receveur

Dr. Ron Receveur: Hi, I'm Dr. Ron Receveur. I've been a dentist in New Albany, Indiana for over 30 years. I spent many hours in a dental chair when I was a kid because I was born with a partial cleft palate. I learned what it was like to have painful dental experiences and be self-conscious about my appearance. It's the reason that I decided to become a dentist when I was in high school. It was a very traumatic experience going through all the things that I did, and I wanted to become a dentist to change those experiences for my patients. I was very self-conscious about my appearance when I was a child. My smile wasn't what I wanted it to be, and my teeth were unattractive. And so, when patients come in and they tell me that they're embarrassed about their smile, I connect with them. I understand how they feel when they tell me that they're ashamed to smile.

I've seen doctors go through cancer therapy and other types of medical treatments in addition to dentistry. And I've talked to them, and they've told me how they were enlightened. They were surprised by being on the other side of the relationship. They were surprised how that felt to them and that they were more compassionate and sensitive to their patients after having gone through that treatment. There's no doubt that my going through all those experiences affected me not just as a person but as a dentist, because now when I sit down with a patient and that patient is very scared or they're ashamed to admit – some people don't like to admit that they're embarrassed of their smile, with their smile or with their appearance. That's a real sensitive issue. I let my patients know that many of the procedures that they're going to have I've already had myself, and I know how it feels in my mouth. I know how injections and surgery and the noises and the sounds – I understand how all those feel in my mouth.

I laugh with quite a few of my patients and say, "I've had more dentistry than you'll ever have.” And they look at me funny, like don't pull on their leg or something, and I say, "I'm serious. I've had more dentistry than you'll ever need. And so, from personal experience, I can tell you how this is going to go and how it's going to be.”

To help our patients overcome their fears and their phobias, we have numerous options to ensure their comfort and give them the type of dentistry and smile that they're looking for. We offer IV sedation where we can accomplish all of their dentistry frequently in one or two visits. Patients love the IV sedation because they wake up and don't remember being in the chair. It's amazing to me how many people have their eyes light up when they realize that they can be sedated and won't remember having anything done. I wished I could have had IV sedation when I was a kid. It would have changed my ... it probably would've changed my life or definitely all my dental experiences.
