Nervous Patients
Had my first filling today and I have to say it was the best experience I have had at any dentist,
I really am very bad dealing with dentist and doctors etc but Danny and his nurse were very understanding explained everything and best of all no pain. Thoroughly recommend them to anyone. 
Dental Phobia.
Many people are frightened of visiting the dentist. Possibly due to bad experiences as a child or adult, unsympathetic dentists, surgery smells, embarrassment about their teeth, not being in control, fear of the unknown, or even the noise of the drill.
Our staff are trained to deal with patients who suffer from dental phobia, as we understand how daunting it can be. We try to provide as calm and relaxing an environment as possible for all our patients. Nervous patients are welcome to book a time to come in, free of charge, and meet the TREATMENT COORDINATOR informally, before having a check-up. We will listen carefully to your concerns and take everything entirely at your pace so that you can eventually look forward to your visits.
At your first appointment there will be a consultation with Dr de Villiers, where you can discuss any fears, concerns or anxieties and then a suitable treatment plan can be formed. You can bring along a partner or friend to this appointment if it makes you feel more comfortable.
If you require extensive treatment we can devise a treatment plan that suits your needs. We can even break down the treatment into short appointments, so you won’t be in the chair for too long.
Possible Solutions
- Communicating your fears and concerns – we are good listeners at Danny de Villiers Dentist. It is important that you can talk about your fears and concerns with us openly and comfortably.
- A full explanation of the procedures involved – often something as simple as an explanation of how the dental procedure will be carried out step by step in a non-technical way will relieve your fears.
- Try to be open and honest with your dentist if you feel embarrassed about the condition of your teeth or your lack of previous dental care. The important thing is that you’re taking a step in the right direction to resolve the issue.
- Using a pain-free injection technique – before giving an injection, your dentist can apply a numbing gel (topical anaesthetic) to your gums. Giving the injection slowly reduces the pressure and causes less pain.
- Quiet equipment – we use Sirona T1 Line titanium hand pieces, probably the quietest and virtually vibration free dental drills.
