How is a dentist for anxious patients different from a regular dentist?

Our dentist specialising in treating anxious patients works just like a regular dentist, except that he adapts the treatments entirely to your pace and sense of security. We spend extra time on explanations and consultations, so you always know what to expect. We also ensure a calm atmosphere and use techniques to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Our goal is to make you feel heard and confident in the dentist’s chair again.

Treatment method of our anxiety dentist

We tailor all treatments to your personal situation. However, the treatment method is virtually the same for everyone. The first step is to schedule an intake interview to get to know each other well. We will try to identify the cause of your anxiety. We will also discuss the treatment methods with you right away. We also schedule extra time for your treatment so that we can take breaks as needed. You can indicate when you need a break and we will pause the treatment until you have calmed down. Then, we will continue at a leisurely pace.

Various treatment options

At iSmile, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful. That is why we offer a range of options to help you feel as relaxed as possible during your treatment. Depending on your situation, you and your dentist will select the most suitable method.

Nitrous oxide sedation

During nitrous oxide sedation, you breathe in a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide via a nasal mask. This ensures that you feel relaxed and any anxiety disappears. You will remain awake and responsive, but will undergo the treatment in a much calmer state, making it a more pleasant experience.

Light anaesthesia

With light anaesthesia, you will be put to sleep temporarily so that you are unaware of the treatment. You won’t experience any fear or tension, and you’ll wake up calmly as soon as the procedure is finished. This ensures maximum relaxation and security.

Sedatives

WWe also offer sedative medication to help you undergo treatment more calmly. You will remain awake and conscious, but your anxiety levels will be significantly reduced. This will give you greater confidence and peace of mind during treatment.

We provide treatment in a pleasant environment.

We strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Our serene clinic provides a pleasant environment for those who find visiting the dentist stressful.
