For nervous patients
Anxious about the dentist? You are in good company.
Many of our patients arrive nervous. Tell us when you book, and we plan the appointment around it.
- Time to talk
- First appointments are booked for 45 minutes, so nothing is rushed.
- You can stop at any time
- Raise a hand and we stop. Agree on the signal before we start.
- Numbing that works
- Topical gel before injections, and we check you are numb before we begin.
- Inhalation sedation
- Nitrous oxide, sometimes called laughing gas, is available for nervous patients and longer treatments.
Ready when you are.
Book online in a minute, or call and talk to Carla. Same-day slots for anything urgent.
