Where Cutting-Edge Tech Meets Dr. Yenchesky’s Battle-Tested Skill
Tools don’t replace talent—they amplify it. Dr. Chad Yenchesky has spent nearly two decades turning the latest technology into life-changing results, long before most offices even opened the box.
18+ Years of Same-Day Crown Mastery
While many practices are just discovering CEREC, Dr. Yenchesky has designed, milled, and seated thousands of ceramic crowns in a single visit since 2007. His library of custom shades and bite adjustments is matched only by his ability to make a crown feel like it grew there naturally.
15+ Years of Guided Implant Precision
Dr. Yenchesky was placing implants with 3D-printed surgical guides when “guided surgery” was still a journal article. Today, his virtual plans are so refined that implants integrate faster, with less swelling and zero guesswork—skills honed on hundreds of cases long before AI promised to do it for you.
12+ Years of Soft-Tissue Laser Artistry
From gummy-smile corrections to frenectomies that spare stitches, Dr. Yenchesky’s laser touch is legendary among De Pere parents. Procedures that once meant a week of downtime now wrap up before lunchtime, with kids back on the playground the same afternoon.
When you sit in Dr. Yenchesky’s chair, you’re not getting a technician following a screen—you’re getting a craftsman who’s already forgotten more about these tools than most will ever learn. That’s the confidence only time, volume, and a genuine love for this community can buy. Welcome to Fox View Dental—where the future of dentistry has been living in De Pere for years.
Local Anaesthesia in Modern Dentistry
Local anesthetics are sophisticated medications designed to block sensation in specific areas of the body without affecting consciousness or awareness in the way dental sedation options do. In dentistry, Dr. Chad Yenchesky uses these medications to create targeted numbness in the oral cavity, including teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues, making dental procedures virtually painless for patients.
These medications work by interfering with the transmission of pain signals from nerve endings to the brain. They achieve this effect by blocking sodium channels in nerve fibers, preventing the nerves from sending pain signals to the central nervous system. This scientific approach allows Dr. Yenchesky to perform a wide array of procedures with minimal or no discomfort for patients.
The precision of modern local anesthetics enables Dr. Chad Yenchesky to target exactly the areas that need treatment while leaving the rest of your mouth functioning normally. This targeted approach means you can receive comprehensive dental care while maintaining comfort throughout your visit to our De Pere office.
Types of Local Anesthetic Solution Used
Dr. Chad Yenchesky selects the most appropriate anesthetic for each patient based on the procedure type, duration, and individual patient needs:
Lidocaine
One of the most commonly utilized local anesthetics in dentistry, lidocaine is renowned for its rapid onset of action and reliable effectiveness in providing pain relief. Dr. Yenchesky often chooses lidocaine for routine procedures due to its proven track record and predictable results.
Articaine
This advanced anesthetic is gaining popularity in dental practice due to its high potency and superior ability to work effectively in inflamed tissues. Dr. Chad Yenchesky may select articaine for certain procedures where enhanced penetration and effectiveness are needed.
Mepivacaine
When longer-lasting numbness is required, Dr. Yenchesky may choose mepivacaine, which provides an extended duration of action. This makes it particularly suitable for more complex dental procedures that require sustained anesthesia.
Prilocaine
This anesthetic is often chosen for patients who may be sensitive to other local anesthetics, as it carries a lower risk of causing allergic reactions. Dr. Chad Yenchesky considers this option for patients with known sensitivities.
Bupivacaine
Used in situations where prolonged anesthesia is necessary, bupivacaine offers an extended duration of action. Dr. Yenchesky may select this option for specific treatments requiring longer-lasting numbness.
Methods of Local Anesthetic Administration
Dr. Chad Yenchesky employs various techniques to deliver local anesthetics comfortably and effectively:
- Traditional Injections: The most common method involves precise injections targeted at the gum tissue or near specific nerves in the affected area
- Topical Anesthetics: Applied to oral tissue surfaces before injections to minimize any discomfort from needle insertion
- Computer-Assisted Delivery: Advanced systems that precisely control the flow rate and pressure of anesthetic solution for enhanced comfort and accuracy
The choice of delivery method depends on the specific procedure, patient comfort preferences, and the area being treated. Dr. Yenchesky always explains the process and ensures patients feel comfortable with the selected approach.
Dental Procedures Using Local Anesthetics
Local anesthetics enable Dr. Chad Yenchesky to perform numerous procedures comfortably:
- Dental Fillings: Used when removing decayed tooth material and placing restorative materials to repair cavities
- Tooth Extractions: Applied to numb the area around teeth that need removal due to damage, infection, or orthodontic reasons
- Root Canal Therapy: Essential for numbing teeth and surrounding tissues during the removal of infected or damaged pulp
- Periodontal Treatment: Used during scaling and root planing procedures to treat gum disease comfortably
- Crown and Bridge Preparation: Applied when preparing teeth for crowns or bridges to maintain patient comfort
- Implant Placement: Used during the surgical placement of dental implants to provide complete comfort throughout the procedure
- TMJ Treatment: May be used for therapeutic injections to alleviate jaw pain and discomfort
Dr. Chad Yenchesky evaluates each patient’s needs to determine the most appropriate anesthetic approach for their specific treatment plan.
Benefits of Modern Local Anesthetic Techniques

Precise targeting of anesthetic effects means that only the treatment area becomes numb, allowing patients to maintain normal function in other areas of their mouth. This precision enables Dr. Chad Yenchesky to work efficiently while keeping patients comfortable throughout their visit.
Rapid onset and predictable duration of modern anesthetics allow for precise treatment planning and scheduling. Patients can expect consistent, reliable numbness that lasts exactly as long as needed for their procedure, with normal sensation returning predictably afterward.
The safety profile of current local anesthetics is excellent when administered by trained professionals like Dr. Yenchesky. These medications have been extensively tested and refined over decades of use, making them extremely safe and effective for dental procedures.
Patient Safety and Anesthetic Selection
Dr. Chad Yenchesky prioritizes patient safety through careful evaluation and selection of appropriate anesthetic techniques. Before any procedure, he reviews medical history, current medications, and any known allergies to determine the safest and most effective anesthetic approach for each individual patient.
Proper dosing calculations based on patient weight, age, and medical status help minimize any risk while providing optimal comfort. Dr. Yenchesky’s extensive training in anesthetic techniques allows him to select the right type and amount of medication for each specific situation.
Continuous monitoring during procedures provides additional safety assurance. The team at Fox View Dental watches for any signs of adverse reactions and is prepared to respond immediately if needed, though serious complications are extremely rare with proper technique and patient selection.
