Sedation & Hypnosis
Dental anxiety is extremely common, and can result in patients avoiding the necessary and appropriate professional dental care they need.
Fortunately our whole team is experienced in dealing with, and helping those of a nervous disposition. We find that this is important as dental anxiety can affect the whole journey rather than just the time spent in the clinical areas.
We encourage our nervous patients as a first step to come and meet the team and see our facilities. During this visit there will be a free of charge consultation with our care coordinator who will discuss how we can tailor our services to make any subsequent visits as stress free and comfortable as possible. We can then work through a program to get you back to tip top oral health and in the process change from being a nervous patient to actually enjoying your visits to us.
One thing we use that means we have such a great success with nervous and anxious patients is time. Making sure we spend the appropriate amount of time with you both in and out of the surgery means you will never feel rushed, or stressed, and most of all you will feel relaxed.
In addition to this we have the following methods that help make your visits to us stress free, and stop anxiety:
- Noise free drills
- Pain free injections (The Wand)
- Massage chair
- Television on the ceiling
- Tailored atmosphere
- Hypnosis/NLP
- "Happy Gas" - Nitrous oxide sedation
- Oral Sedation
- IV sedation
