Anxious patients
Our mission at Specialist Dental Services is to provide comfortable treatments in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere so that all individuals feel relaxed and welcome. We are committed to providing such a high level of care that even patients with severe dental anxiety will find that there is no need to avoid receiving treatment.
Some individuals with dental anxiety have had an unpleasant dental experience in the past, or they may have an innate phobia of undergoing dental treatment. As a result, they may avoid going to the dentist for long periods and neglect possible problems with their oral health. We know how important regular check-ups and cleanings are to maintaining a healthy mouth. Failure to receive necessary dental care could lead to serious tooth decay and gum disease that could eventually require tooth extractions, root canal therapy, or other extensive treatments to correct.
If your dental anxiety is keeping you from receiving dental care, we will strive to do everything we can to make your visit to our clinic as comfortable and relaxing as possible. We want all individuals to be able to receive the care that they need to have healthy, beautiful smiles.
Compassionate, Considerate Staff
Although advanced dental sedation technology is important in treating nervous patients, we believe that compassionate and kind staff is just as necessary to easing dental anxiety. We have put together a team that takes great pride in providing extra TLC to every patient. Our team members listen to each patient’s needs and tailor treatment to ease his or her specific fears and concerns. We also strive to make sure all appointments are on time as we believe this can greatly reduce patient stress as well.
The successful treatment of individuals with dental anxiety begins with lots of TLC from a gentle, compassionate staff. At Specialist Dental Services, our anaesthetist, dentists, hygienists, and other team members are committed to providing outstanding dental care.
Types of Sedation Dentistry for Anxious Patients
We utilize several different types of sedation dentistry technology, including oral sedatives, nitrous oxide sedation, and IV sedation. These methods help patients relax and induce a sleep-like state so that they will not remember having received treatment. With this technology, longer procedures and multiple treatments can be performed without patient discomfort.
Some patients may require their dental treatment to be carried out under general anaesthesia. Our consultant specialists have operating rights at the world-renowned London Clinic, where any treatment under general anaesthesia is performed.
Our consultant anaesthetist, Dr Kamran Ahmed, provides IV sedation and general anaesthesia for our patients.
