Dentistry for nervous patients in Derby & Burton-on-trent

A Compassionate Approach

Studies show that around 36% of adults fear dental visits, with about 12% experiencing severe dental anxiety, known as dentophobia. For these individuals, even the thought of attending regular dental appointments can be daunting.

At our clinics, our compassionate dental professionals strive to deliver exceptional care in a calm and welcoming environment. We are dedicated to ensuring all our patients feel relaxed throughout their visit. We believe in a patient-centred approach to dentistry, making every effort to ensure your comfort and well-being at all times.

A Trusted Dentist for Nervous Patients

Fear of visiting the dentist can stem from a negative past experience or may simply be part of your nature. At our practice, we specialize in safely guiding our patients through every aspect of their treatment journey. We are dedicated to making even the most nervous patients feel listened to and understood, with clearly defined treatment plans and a friendly approach.

How We Support Nervous Patients

We understand. For some people, visiting the dentist is never going to be at the top of their list. However, as a practice that specialises in treating nervous patients, we are passionate about making both routine and specialist treatments as comfortable as possible. We achieve this in a variety of ways, including

Sedation Options for Nervous Patients

As a dentist for nervous patients, we offer the option of sedation for those who feel they may not be able to undergo treatment without it. Sedatives are administered intravenously, and their effects can vary from patient to patient. Unlike general anaesthesia, IV sedation aims to induce a state where you can respond to commands or gestures, while feeling less aware of the procedure and experiencing reduced anxiety.

Sedation is usually recommended in severe cases, and we aim to support you through your appointments without it whenever feasible.

What can I expect from my appointment as a nervous patient?

You will be warmly welcomed into a tranquil reception area at each of our clinics. When your dentist is ready for you, you’ll be led through to your consultation, where any questions you may have will be kindly answered to put you at ease.

It may be possible in some instances to be accompanied to your appointment by a friend or family member. Please discuss this with a member of our team prior to your treatment, and we will see if we can put an arrangement in place.
