At Wollaton Dental Care, we have been round the block a few times! We are all experienced clinicians who have met so many nervous patients over the years we have been treating people and like to think we can empathise with some of the fears that people carry with them and that stop them making that first step by coming to their first appointment (often for years).
“I haven’t been to a dentist for years. They’ll think badly of me.”
“I’m embarrassed about my teeth. They won’t have seen any thing like my teeth before.”
“I’m frightened it will hurt.”
“I’m worried they’ll judge me.”
“I’m scared they’ll tell me I need loads of treatment. What if I can’t afford it?”
“I’m worried about how much it might cost. How will I know I really need the treatment?”
“I don’t like feeling out of control.”
“I don’t want anything done until I understand it and they’ll just want to get on with it.”
At WDC we take everything at your pace. We understand the fundamental importance of building trust with a person before embarking on any treatment. No treatment will ever take place without you knowing exactly what your options are, what to expect and the costs involved. You will also be given the choice to make the decisions that are yours to make. No treatment is always an option (even if it might not be the one we recommend).
You will not be pressured into making treatment decisions. If there are lots of things that need addressing, we will explain which are priorities and which might be able to wait a little while. We find that by building trust, communicating properly and taking things slowly (doing the basics right!) a lot of people’s anxiety can be managed very comfortably.
“I was petrified of going to the dentist due to a previous bad experience, but Anna put me at ease all the way through my procedure, I couldn’t have asked for more.” AB
“My dentist, Simon, and his dental nurse are great. They always put me at ease, explain everything to me and always help me make the best decision for my dental health. Cannot recommend them enough!” AC

“As a nervous patient I found Wollaton Dental Care to be a very welcoming and easing environment, helping to overcome my anxiety. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly, and Gemma and the dental nurses kept me comfortable as a patient.” CM
“They always make me feel comfortable and explain everything that will happen during the appointment. Gone are the days of fear of going to the dentist, WDC gives a standard of care over and above the norm. I would recommend WDC without any reservation.” JW
