Lots of people put off going to the dentist because they feel anxious, sometimes for years. If that’s you, you’re not alone, and a good practice will make your first visit calm and pressure-free. Here’s what to expect.
No judgement
Whatever state your teeth are in, and however long it’s been, we’ve seen it before and we’re not here to lecture you. The first visit is about getting to know you and understanding what worries you.
A gentle first appointment
Your first visit is usually just a chat and a look, with no drilling and no surprises. We explain everything before we do it, and you can pause at any time by simply raising your hand.
You set the pace
We can break treatment into smaller steps, offer extra numbing, or simply give you time. Many nervous patients tell us the anticipation was far worse than the appointment itself.
