Many people suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia, and we offer a range of techniques and treatments to try and help our patients feel more relaxed and enable them to overcome their fears. Our team is highly experienced and we go out of our way to help patients who struggle with anxiety and nerves.
Sedation for nervous patients
Sedation is a technique we use to help patients to feel completely comfortable during dental procedures. It involves using sedative medication to bring the mind and body into a state of calm. When you’re sedated, you can’t feel any pain and you won’t have much idea of what’s going on. Sedation is not the same as general anaesthetic, and we provide sedation at the clinic. You don’t have to stay in after treatment and you won’t lose consciousness. Sedation can be really beneficial for those with anxiety, as well as those who suffer from a fear of pain, the drill or needles. It can also be helpful for long and complex procedures.
The Wand
The Wand is an innovative treatment used to treat patients who suffer from a phobia of needles or injections. This device, which looks similar to a pen, is controlled by a computer, and it helps to prevent painful injections by regulating the speed of the flow of fluid from the injection. The vast majority of painful injections are caused by a sudden spurt of fluid or the fluid going through the syringe too quickly, but with The Wand, this is not possible. The Wand also looks much less threatening than a traditional injection. This treatment is suitable for adults and children.
Spa services
We can also offer spa services to help nervous patients to relax. Our treatments include aromatherapy, hot stone massage, foot massage and facials.
