What are your concerns? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bad breath? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Low self-confidence? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not wanting to smile? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Having pain? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not been to a dentist for long time? <\/p>\n\n\n\n You are not alone. These are common concerns we hear on a daily basis, and we honestly are here to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dentistry has come over leaps and bounds the last 15 years, it has become much less invasive, our dentists are gentle, caring and we will always inform and include you throughout your whole journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a dental professional we will diagnose any issues, provide treatment, advise, guide, and support you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No judgement dentistry is our thing, so please just book that appointment! <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have been seeing nervous patients for many years and it\u2019s our pleasure to do so. The satisfaction of getting someone who used to be so worried about entering a dental practice to enjoying visits with us is immeasurable and we have achieved these many times over the last 15 plus years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We go above and beyond as a team to put you at ease. From the first call with our lovely receptionists, to dealing with your treatment coordination with Mrs. Alison Muir, to the actual treatment day with your dentist, we will be here to help and answer any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our experience in treating phobic patients means we fully understand what a big step coming to the dentist can be for many. We also recognise the importance of dental visits for such individuals as leaving your teeth untreated due to anxiety can cause bigger problems long term so it\u2019s important to get you assessed and comfortable as quickly as possible. However, rest assured, it\u2019s never too late to improve your oral health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll never be rushed or pushed into a decision at the Courtyard Clinic. You\u2019ll \u00a0always be made to feel very welcome, and in control at all times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here at The Courtyard Clinic we believe in investing in the latest dental innovations, such as The Wand. This ensures an optimal patient experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wand is a single tooth anaesthesia system that allows for greater precision and \u00a0contained numbness in a dentistry environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wand is generally associated with less discomfort and a more controlled numb sensation than other anaesthesia injection methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the injection is so precise, only the area around the affected tooth will be \u00a0numbed so that you can return to work following your procedure should you wish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dental sedation is an effective way of making you feel more at ease during treatment. It doesn\u2019t put you to sleep like a general anaesthetic; you\u2019re still conscious and able to talk with your dentist. Instead, it puts you into a deeply relaxed state, where you won\u2019t feel any discomfort or pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Intravenous (IV) sedation<\/strong>: where a sedative is injected into your arm\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Oral sedation:<\/strong> where you take a medication an hour before treatment to give\u00a0 you a mile sedative effect\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s more, sedation isn\u2019t just for invasive procedures. You can also have it for \u00a0more routine procedures like our popular airflow hygiene procedure, where your \u00a0dentist will give you a scale and polish to ensure your teeth are thoroughly clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I recently undertook sedation for a tooth extraction at the Courtyard Clinic. I suffer from occasional anxiety attacks in constrained circumstances and was concerned that I would find the procedure difficult to ensure. Sedation was recommended and made all the difference. The sedating professional had a very reassuring \u2018bedside manner\u2019 and worked in a very professional partnership with my dentist. Although I remember nothing of the operation itself \u2013 no discomfort, no anxiety whatsoever \u2013 I am assured that I was conscious and co-operative throughout the thirty-minute procedure. My thanks to the whole team <\/p>\n\n\n\n Every single member of the team genuinely wants to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m fairly nervous and was definitely not looking forward to having my wisdom teeth removed but Osa & Emma were wonderful – I knew I was in capable hands! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alison just ties this whole place together. Nothing seems too much trouble and she\u2019s always found a solution for me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can\u2019t recommend this team highly enough! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll never be rushed or pushed into treatment at The Courtyard Clinic. Claire, Emma and Alison are all so understanding and genuinely want to make each experience the best it can be. Taking the leap to go and meet Claire nearly 7 years ago has changed my life and I\u2019ll always be so grateful that she works with me to overcome my fears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Claire takes it step by step, showing me exactly what she is doing first, and making sure I am comfortable with every step before continuing. She is always so accommodating and will happily adapt appointments depending on how I’m coping. I usually hold my friends\u2019 hand throughout, even though this gets in the way, it\u2019s never a problem for Claire, she just works around it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n I now go and see Claire every 6 months for my routine appointments. Whilst I still get ridiculously anxious, I know once I am through the clinic doors, I\u2019m in the safest hands and will be so well looked after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you suffer with dental anxiety?
