When that fear prevents you from getting the treatment you need, this can be a problem, and it can lead to a self-perpetuating cycle.
Failing to visit the dentist because of anxiety issues may lead to more dental problems. As dental work goes untreated, the costs to fix the problems can rise.
Thankfully, at Smile Success, we do everything we can to make nervous patients feel welcome and relaxed, allowing them to receive the treatment they need. To do this, we have several nervous patient solutions at our disposal that can be tailored to your needs. Read on to find out more.

Familiarisation
From experience, we know that unfamiliarity fuels anxiety, so if you are a nervous patient and need to visit the dentist, we suggest you come and talk to us first. We will be happy to show you around the practice, including our treatment rooms, and introduce you to our team. We’ll even let you sit in the dental chair, so you feel comfortable. Only when you’re ready will we suggest coming in for a check-up.
Explanation
When you visit us as a nervous patient in Camberley, we’ll take time to explain any treatments in detail. Whether that’s a dental check-up, a dental filling or more complex treatment, we’ll go through everything in detail so you know what to expect.
Relaxation
When you’re ready to proceed, we’ll make sure you feel completely at ease. You’re welcome to bring your headphones and music, and we’ll provide a local anaesthetic to ensure comfort. If you prefer, we can also offer light sedation, which keeps you conscious and in control while helping you relax so you won’t experience any discomfort.
At Smile Success, we aim for you to feel calm and in control about your dental visit, so if you want to know more about our nervous patient solutions or you want to schedule an appointment but are feeling overwhelmed, come and talk to us first on 01276 469 600.
Together, we’ll help you get the treatment you need!
