Nervous Patients

Do any of these sound familiar?

• I had a bad experience at the dentist as a child
• I don’t know what’s happening and feel out of control in the dentist’s chair
• I hate the drill or have a phobia of needles
• I’m afraid I might choke or be sick at the dentist
• I hate the noises associated with a dental surgery
• I’m scared that my treatment will hurt

As a result of any or all of these statements, you may have put off dental treatment in the past. Here at Dental Solutions, we can help you with all these barriers to treatment. Gavin Laidlaw treats very nervous patients every single day. Many previously nervous patients now actually look forward to their appointments.

“Always a pleasure”. – Patient survey

These are just a few comments we have received from our patients.

Why choose Dental Solutions?

We understand that for some people, going to the dentist can be a daunting experience that is either dreaded or avoided at all costs. Here at Dental Solutions, we provide a friendly relaxed environment, where your needs are our top priority. Our latest modern dental techniques ensure that dentistry is not painful in any way, guaranteed.

We also offer a number of additional services to put you completely at your ease during your visit:-

• Our wonderful practice manager and dental implant facilitator, Nicola Corless will be on-hand throughout your treatment to answer any questions you might have. For orthodontic patients, Hollie Kavaney will be on-hand before, during and after your treatment to advise you on anything from treatment times to aftercare.
• We offer a free consultation prior to any treatment where you can meet Gavin and his team. This is a great opportunity to discuss your smile, any fears you might have, and the different treatment options. At your first consultation, you don’t even need to sit in the dentist’s chair if you don’t want to.
• We have television screens in the ceilings of our surgeries so you can watch programmes or even listen to your own music to help ease your fears.
• In our waiting rooms, you’ll find the latest selection of magazines, chilled water and fresh fruit, so you can sit back and relax in a calming environment.

Have we convinced you to book a consultation? We really hope so.
