Nervous Patients
Being ‘afraid of the dentist’ may mean different things to different people. It may be the sounds and smells that bring back memories of bad experiences as a child, or make you think that having treatment will hurt.
Our dentists understand our patients’ fears. Their kindness and gentle nature can do a lot to make your dental treatment a tolerable, normal part of life.
The first step is always the hardest: making the initial phone call and walking through the door. However, once you have, you will find a warm welcome from all our team.
We can even offer a free consultation with one of our treatment Coordinators in a non-clinical setting.
Additional options:
THE WAND
AWARD-WINNING COMPUTERISED ANAESTHETIC DELIVERY SYSTEM
Our practice is committed to providing the latest and advanced dentistry. We can offer anaesthesia with The Wand. This means that every time we numb you up it will be a pleasant experience. The Wand uses a small hand piece that looks like a pen.
This system gives the anaesthetic in a slow comfortable manner. The Wand uses a unique new computerized technology. It works at a low pressure and a slow rate that gives an improved anaesthesia. It works more effectively, resulting in a better experience, often without the numb lip – you will be pleasantly surprised!
SEDATION
If you would prefer to not to be aware of what’s going on during your treatment, we can also offer sedation by one of our experienced dentists.
Safe sedation can be offered for any of our dental treatments. It is a technique that reduces anxiety and minimises any discomfort during your dental treatment. unlike General Anaesthetic – you will remain conscious but will feel drowsy and relaxed.
