Nervous Patients in London

Having a fear of the dentist is incredibly common, but can unfortunately lead to patients avoiding essential dental health examinations, and only booking an appointment when they are in pain or have a dental emergency. While we understand the anxiety, we don’t wish you to put your dental health at risk! At our dentist for nervous patients, we do all we can to make you feel as confident and comfortable as possible, before and during the treatment.

“What a difference you have made to my life. I have spent many years avoiding the dentist at all costs. But I can honestly say that your advice, treatment, professionalism and reassurance have transformed how I feel and look. I am so grateful to you and your marvellous team for making my smile so beautiful. You have given me a new found confidence and I can’t thank you enough.”

How We Can Help

If necessary, you are welcome to come and take a look around our dental practice in Clapham Common at a date prior to your appointment. This will allow the nervous dental patient to become acquainted and comfortable with the practice environment. Many members of our lovely team have also been here for years, which mean you are assured of a friendly, familiar face at every visit. Our appointments are never rushed and any treatment is taken only at a speed you are comfortable with.

Reassuring sedation solutions

If required, we also offer reassuring sedation solutions. Intravenous sedation and oral sedation is a very safe and reliable method of controlling dental anxiety and phobia. You will remain conscious throughout your appointment, but many patients do not remember much of a procedure or treatment that may have taken an hour or more! Sedated patients often find that time passes very quickly.
