Our experience in treating anxious or phobic patients means we fully understand what a big step coming to the dentist can be for many. You’ll never be rushed or pushed into a decision at The Courtyard Clinic; you’ll always be made to feel very welcome and in control at all times.
In the event that you do need a local anaesthetic or numbing of the tooth, we can administer it using the innovative and painless ‘Wand’ technique, rather than having to use a needle. Our patients inform us this is a revelation for them as for many nervous patients the injection is a major hurdle.
For many people, a dental visit, or even the thought of one, can cause immense worry and stress. We hope to change all that and have designed our environment to make our patients feel relaxed and comfortable. If you decide to go ahead, we have many techniques to help us to put you completely at your ease. We offer the free use of our Movie glasses, watching your favourite film can act as a fantastic distraction whilst the treatment is being carried out.
For those patients who are very anxious we offer intravenous and oral (tablets) sedation, this puts the patient at ease whilst still being awake and without the need to be in a hospital enviroment.
If you have any concerns or anxieties about coming to see us you’re always very welcome to visit the practice before commencing treatment to talk to us about sedation, painless dentistry or simply to take a look around the practice and meet the friendly team.
