At Chelsea & Fulham Dentist, we are dental phobia certified, which means that we understand fully what it means to have a phobia about visiting the dentist and getting the treatment you need for your oral health. Our dentist Fulham is specially trained and qualified to ensure that a trip to see us for your treatment will be as relaxing as it can be. We want all our patients to be treated as individuals, and we always take the time to get to know you so that we understand how you are feeling and what you want your treatment to be. If you are nervous, however, we understand that there is an added layer of concern for you about just entering the building, and we have got your back!
Consultation
The first thing we recommend nervous patients should do is come and see us for a consultation. During this time, you will be able to feel confident that we are not going to be giving you any treatment, so you can just meet our team and relax! Dr Imran Sayed and Dahlia Sunba have both trained at Guy’s Dental Hospital, which is a renowned institution. At this hospital, they worked in a specialist unit for severely nervous patients, and they have developed excellent communication and techniques to help put patients at ease. Only a small number of dental practices are dental phobia certified, so if you are nervous, Chelsea & Fulham Dentist is certainly the place to meet your dentist Fulham!
Ways we can help
Part of the issue for some patients is the fact that being in a dental practice feels like a sterile and uninviting environment, which triggers their fearful thoughts. At Chelsea & Fulham Dentist, we strive to overcome this by giving you a choice of music or movies to play as you have your treatment.
We also have some of the latest techniques to ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible. For example, if you hate having impressions taken of your teeth, you won’t need to worry about this anymore! We have a digital scanner that can get the measurements we need, without any of the gooey stuff! We also have ‘The Wand’, which can numb your mouth in an extremely comfortable way, and you won’t have to worry about feeling any pain during your treatment.
What’s more, we will never rush you through your treatment but instead, take everything at your pace. We will never do anything you don’t want us to do, and we will always make time to keep you relaxed and at ease. For some procedures, we can even offer certain methods of sedation to ensure you don’t feel panicked during the treatment. During a consultation, we will be able to discuss whether or not you can be sedated for the treatment we are considering.
Treatments
We have treatments for the whole family, and here at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist, our dentist Fulham wants you to feel excited about getting great care in the way you would like to receive your treatment. During your consultation with us, we will be able to discuss everybody’s needs and identify the treatments that would be right for you and your family. Our treatment programme is comprehensive and should mean that you never need to look anywhere else because we care about you, and we’ve got your back!
