There's no rush
We know that many nervous patients want to feel heard and fully informed about what is going to be happening during their appointment and to know that they are in control.
If you want us to stop at any point, we will. We allow plenty of time for appointments so that our patients don’t feel rushed.
Sedation options
If a friendly ear and calm chairside manner just isn’t enough to calm your fears, don’t worry, we have several different techniques to help. Our aim is for you to have dental treatment in the most comfortable way. We can achieve this with:
Oral sedation
A sedative can be taken at our practice or, in some cases, at home. Although you remain awake, you will feel very calm and sleepy.
Treatments that have taken an hour or more will feel like they are over much more quickly.
Intravenous sedation
A sedative medicine is injected into your hand or arm and will make you feel relaxed and drowsy. Many patients remember little about the treatment they receive whilst sedated in this way.
Patients are awake and can talk to the dental staff at all times.
