Gentle & Patient-Focused

Start with a no-obligation chat. We’ll discuss your goals and advise the best route to a straighter smile.

Calming Environment

Our recent refurbishment means you can enjoy a peaceful, modern setting from the moment you arrive. The atmosphere is designed to put you at ease, and our friendly team will guide you through every step of your visit.

Pain-Free Dentistry

Comfort is at the heart of our care. All treatments are carried out using local anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. For patients who dislike needles, we can use numbing gel and slower, more gentle techniques to help you feel comfortable throughout.

Conscious Sedation

If you feel particularly anxious, or if you require a longer procedure, conscious sedation is available. This allows you to feel deeply relaxed during your treatment, with many patients recalling very little of the procedure afterwards.

Frequently asked questions for Nervous Dental Patients

Why do some people feel nervous about visiting the dentist?

Dental anxiety is very common. Many people feel worried because of a past experience, fear of discomfort, or simply not knowing what to expect. If you feel anxious, you’re not alone — and we’re here to support you.

How does York House help patients who feel nervous?

We take a gentle, understanding approach. Our team listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and adapts the appointment to suit your level of comfort.

What is the environment like at the practice?

Our recently refurbished practice has been designed to feel calm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere, layout, and patient flow aim to reduce stress and help you relax.

Does treatment hurt?

No. We use local anaesthesia for all procedures to ensure your visit is pain-free. If you are nervous about needles, we can use numbing gel first and proceed slowly to keep you comfortable.

Do you offer sedation?

Yes. Conscious sedation is available for patients who need extra support. It helps you feel deeply relaxed during treatment, and many patients remember little of the procedure afterwards.

What can I do to manage my anxiety before an appointment?

Talking to us is the most important step — once we know your concerns, we can adapt the visit to suit you. Many patients also find breathing techniques, calming music, or simply understanding each stage of treatment helpful.

Can I use distraction during my treatment?

Absolutely. We provide TVs and music in our treatment rooms to help take your mind off the procedure.

Will the team explain what will happen during my appointment?

Yes. We’ll walk you through each part of the treatment if that helps reduce your anxiety. Many nervous patients feel more relaxed once they know what to expect.
