Whether your anxiety stems from a previous difficult experience, a fear of pain, a dislike of needles or simply the feeling of not being in control, we will always work at your pace. We will never rush you, never dismiss what you are feeling, and never proceed with anything without your full knowledge and agreement.
Your comfort matters more to us than the speed of your treatment. We are highly skilled in caring for anxious and nervous patients; our appointments are relaxed and unhurried, sedation options are available, and there is no pressure and no judgment, ever.
If you let us know before your appointment that you feel anxious, we will make sure the right preparations are in place:
Sedation allows patients who would otherwise avoid the dentist entirely to access the care they need, comfortably and safely. We do offer supported, monitored sedation at the practice, and we also have access to a robust referral network for more complex needs. If you require more information about sedation, contact us or speak to us at your next appointment.
It is estimated that around one in four people in the UK experiences some degree of dental anxiety, and for a significant number, that anxiety is severe enough to affect whether they attend at all.
If you feel this way, you are in very good company, and you deserve care that takes that seriously.
Previous difficult experiences are one of the most common causes of dental anxiety, and they are completely understandable.
Please tell us about your experience when you get in touch. It helps us to understand what made it difficult and to make sure your appointment here feels as different as possible.
Absolutely. Bringing a trusted friend or family member to your appointment is entirely welcome. Many nervous patients find it enormously helpful, and we will always accommodate a support person.
Whether you’re booking your first appointment, have a question about our treatments, or simply want advice on your dental care — our friendly team is here to help.
