Feeling Nervous About Seeing a Dentist? We’re Here to Help!
If you find the thought of visiting the dentist daunting, you’re not alone. At St Margarets Smiles, we specialise in helping nervous patients like you. Dr. Frances has dedicated over 15 years to working with anxious patients, creating personalised treatment programs that prioritise your comfort and peace of mind.
What Makes Us Different?
Understanding Your Fear
We know that dental visits can be stressful for some people, and we’re here to change that experience. Nervous patients often face what is known as dental phobia, a condition that can be managed with tailored approaches to dental care. Our goal is to ensure you never feel judged and always feel supported.
We offer a free consultation with our care coordinator, this can be done remotely over the phone to help explain and prepare you for your next visit to the dentist.
“I have been a nervous of dentist for many years (64) and only treatment without sedantion at St Margarets Smiles recently. All staff are amazing from reception to Dentist, Francis. I’ve even recommended to family member who now goes to St Margarets Smiles. Thank you all so much. Anne
Pain-Free Treatments
With advances in modern dentistry, experiencing pain during a dental visit is now a thing of the past. Our clinic is equipped with the latest technology and techniques to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Whether it’s through sedation or advanced pain management, we ensure that your treatment is smooth and pain-free.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer sedation options designed to make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and completely unaware of the procedure. This means you can have your treatment done efficiently in one visit without any distress.
“If you’re a nervous patient then I highly recommend coming to St Margarets Smiles. I was really nervous when I first came to see Dr Frances but Rosa from reception was really encouraging and Dr Frances listened to me and understood what I needed to feel more comfortable. The best thing is that I didn’t feel judged for being anxious and this actually made it easier to relax. Even when I can’t string a sentence together because I’m anxious I didn’t feel judged for that. If all dentists were like Dr Frances then I don’t think I would’ve been scared in the first place. Knowing that I can come here for my appointments now has and will make such a difference for me.”
