Nervous Patients

At Manor Lodge Dental Practice, our main aim is to first ensure all our patients feel comfortable and relaxed when visiting us here – including nervous patients.

Being nervous about visiting the dentist isn’t uncommon. In fact, over half of the population report having experienced some kind of dental phobia, so if you are nervous about the dentist – you’re not alone.

At Manor Lodge Dental Practice, our welcoming and well-informed team will do everything we can to help you feel calm, relaxed, and confident when receiving treatment here. Our focus is always on the patient experience, so whatever it is that makes you feel more comfortable, we will try to accommodate it. This includes answering any questions you may have, explaining the treatment as it happens, or leaving you to your favourite track or podcast while we work.

We always use numbing agents and local anaesthetic where necessary, so during longer or more complex treatment, rest assured that it will be pain-free and comfortable. We’re also able to offer sedation services to patients who need it. Sedation is often used during long treatments, such as implants, and dental extractions, but we may also be able to provide it for patients during other treatments.

As with so many experiences that make us nervous, turning up is the hardest part. Manor Lodge Dental Practice is a safe, judgment-free zone where patients are made to feel welcomed and secure when visiting us. Even if you haven’t visited a dentist in years – with us, there’s nothing to worry about.
