Every member of our team is dedicated to making your experience with us a positive one. That starts the moment you walk through the door with our warm and welcoming reception team. You’ll consistently see the same dentist and dental therapist, who will be able to understand the reason behind your anxiety and will do all that they can to put you at ease. 

We like to think of ourselves as a little family at Oakwood Dental Practice, and it’s that warmth, care and laughter that shines through to our patients too. 

Giving you clear information on the process of your examination or treatment helps to give you control over the process. If you prefer, we can also talk through things as we go so there are no surprises. Everyone is different, and we’ll find out what best works for you to help you feel in control throughout your appointment.

Working in a relaxed environment not only helps our patients to relax, but also makes for a better working environment for our team. Each of our clinicians works alongside music, which you can choose if you find that it helps you to relax more, or of course you can bring earphones to listen to your own music. Family or friends are also welcome to accompany you if you find that helps too.

We’ll allow the time we need to make sure that we are able to clearly explain everything to you, and that you don’t feel like you’re being rushed. If you need to take a breather during your appointment, we can facilitate that too.

The key to all of this is us knowing that you’re feeling anxious. Make sure you let us know about your anxiety or phobia when you book your appointment. It’s much more common than you think, and the team here are primed with the tools and experience to make sure your visit with us is a good one.
