Nervous Dental Patients

Feeling nervous?

We re used to dealing with nervous dental patients and even patients who consider themselves ‘dental phobic’. This is fairly common and many people feel nervous and anxious about going to the dentist. Avoiding your dental appointments can however be very detrimental to your long term oral health. So please, let us know if you are feeling nervous.
We strive to make every patient feel welcome and relaxed. We offer long appointment times, discuss your treatment options in detail in advance and proceed with your treatment at a pace that is comfortable for you.

New technology helping nervous patients

Digital dentistry is helping patients to feel more comfortable in the dental chair, removing some of the more invasive aspects of receiving treatment. We have 3D digital scanners available for taking impressions (no more putty!) and for taking x-rays which are more comfortable for the patient. We also have the new Airflow technology for your hygiene visit, a non invasive gentle way to remove staining and thoroughly clean your teeth and gums.
