If you are holding off seeing the dentist in Stevenage because of fear or anxiety, here at Smilecraft in Stevenage Old Town, we can help you. We know that many adults experience dental phobia – around 30% in the UK – it’s way more common than you might think and you are not alone.
Whether you are concerned for your child or are anxious yourself, we have many ways to help our nervous patients and pride ourselves on offering the comfort and reassurance you need to sit easy in the dentist’s chair.
You are welcome
Our warm and friendly team have decades’ worth of experience and enjoy putting patients at ease.
Staying relaxed
If you are anxious about a particular treatment, we can offer conscious sedation. This isn’t an alternative to anaesthetic. Sedation isn’t a pain killer, it helps you to relax and stay calm during the treatment. You will be conscious but may not remember the procedure afterwards.
Sedation can be taken either as a tablet before your treatment or administered intravenously through an injection.
Easy does it
We use The Wand, which is a pain-free injection system. The Wand is a small, thin, pen-like device that we use to administer anaesthetic. It works at a low pressure; many of our patients aren’t even aware that it’s in use. We can be much more precise in targeting the area that needs numbing, which means little or no freezing of surrounding areas such as the lips.
Clear and clean
We explain all our treatments in advance thoroughly, including timescale and cost, so you know exactly what will happen each step of the way.
