Nervous Patients

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Rated Implant Dentists

Sedation options for particularly nervous, anxious and phobic patients.

Going to the dentist is not everyone’s cup of tea

Fear of the dentist is actually completely normal and extreme fear or dental phobia may exist.

Extreme fear or phobia usually is due to an experience from childhood or even into adulthood.

When we talk to our patients about this, we often hear stories of the school dentist or having a great big mask put over your face as a child so that you could have your teeth removed and wake up with a mouth full of blood.

No wonder you fear dental treatment if you’ve had such an experience as a child!

Other experiences that may elicit a phobia are painful treatment from a previous dentist, treatment gone wrong or any bad experience.

General anxiety

Now even if you don’t have an extreme phobia, you probably have some degree of anxiety when going to the dentist, especially if it’s a new dentist and even more so if you are considering having comprehensive treatment.

This anxiety would more than likely be due to the fear of the procedure, worry about the final results, worry about feeling embarrassed about your smile and condition of your teeth.

We are fully aware of all of your potential concerns and rest assured we will endeavour to recognise these concerns every step of the way. We want to know as early as possible what your concerns are so that we can tailor our approach to your care.

We really do understand how you feel and many of our patients have felt exactly the same way before coming to see us. However, they have found that our approach helps alleviate their anxiety and fear.

Let us help you with your dental anxiety

We recognise that many people need further help with their fears and anxieties. Read our reviews. There are a few methods to help you deal further with this.

Solutions: we can prescribe you oral anxiolytics similar to valium to help you, and many patients find this extremely effective. Furthermore, we work closely with a team of consultant anaesthetists who can come to your visit and administer sedation through a vein, to completely relax you, making you totally unaware of your procedure.

The added benefit would be that you would have no memory of the implant procedure whatsoever. This is an enormous help to those who feel they just can’t cope with any dental implant treatment.

  Highly recommend Dorset Dental Clinic for dental implants.
I was referred to Phil by my regular local dentist, as he assured me that he was the best around for implants, he was absolutely right and I am so glad I took his advice.
If anyone is thinking of having dental implants, and are a bit nervous of the process, don’t be, it really is easy with the right team doing it.
Thank you so much Dorset dental clinic.

  My dentist put me in touch with Dorset Dental implants just over 3 years ago in relation to having an implant and I am very pleased he did. The three year wait was due to having to go under general anaesthetic at Poole Hospital to have an embedded tooth removed. Doctor Philip McCauley advised me that there would be a wait and was kind enough to give detail on the scans and the complexities of my case twice. The second time he allowed me to film them on my phone as the hospital were unable to locate the original file. This was particularly helpful as I had just ran over the road from the hospital appointment and back again, job done. I've now had the implant fitted and cannot thank Philip and his team any more. They explain everything in detail, put you at ease, offer after care and although I am mid-treatment I have no worries that all will end well.

  I have been having my teeth problems attended to by DDI since the practice opened and have received excellent service from them. I have had 13 implants over the past 25 years in the USA and the UK and I can say with conviction that the service I have received at DDI has been the best.
