Nervous patients

Is There Anything That Can Help With Your Fear Of The Dentist?

First of all, we listen. Some people are scared of going to the dentist because they find the whole experience stressful. We take the time to talk to you, to understand what it is that you’re worried about and to address your concerns directly. All our dentists are used to meeting nervous patients and will do everything they can to help. Plus, we’re highly qualified so we can carry out treatments to the highest standard, making sure you aren’t in pain.

Our practices  are designed to help our patients feel at ease, and as comfortable as possible. We have all the latest dental equipment to make treatment quicker and less arduous. For example, we can use scanners instead of taking impressions, meaning you don’t have to bite down on uncomfortable moulds that can cause gagging. If you don’t want to wait around for treatment, which can build up the fear in your mind, we can carry out many treatments on the same day. We offer a same-day teeth service  where we can make and fit crowns in a couple of hours or replace loose and damaged teeth with implants in just one sitting.

We also have televisions in the ceiling, giving you something else to focus on. For some patients, the anticipation is worse than the actual treatment or dental examination, so we do what we can to take your mind off it. We can also play children’s programmes for our nervous younger patients.
