Dental Anxiety

Are you afraid of the dentist? If so, you’re not alone. At Inverurie Smile Care, we understand that fear and are here to help!

We know many times a person’s fear stems from past experiences – but no matter what your reasons may be for being scared; there is help.

Our aim isn’t just to provide dental treatments: it’s to get over your fears too! With our compassionate team at hand, anyone can make progress toward gaining regular check-ups and avoiding any major issues down the line. On top of all this, never feel embarrassed about feeling fearful – most people have been in similar situations before.

With an entire staff dedicated making sure each patient feels safe and secure when they visit us, we will ensure your dental visit is completely stress-free. You will be introduced to the staff first and then assessed for any needs for treatment. We can provide a detailed plan so that there are no surprises. Our team members will always be available should anxiety arise or if questions come up about what’s been discussed during your visit – comfort from beginning to end!

Going to the dentist can cause a range of emotions, but with these few tips you’ll be ready for your appointment:

1. Schedule early so you have less time to worry.
2. Get some moral support from someone special by bringing them along.
3. Create a signal that will let the dental team know if you need more time between treatments.
4. Lastly, help yourself relax further with music – bring and listen to tunes you enjoy!

Testimonials

They are so kind, and they look after you so well. I have a mental health issue, so I find things hard at times, but when I am there, they make it so easy for me. They instantly make me feel relaxed. Very bubbly staff, always good to speak to. You feel like you are part of their family when you are visiting, and they are really good at explaining things when you don’t understand. You would not want to be with anyone but them, and when you are on the NHS, they don’t make you feel bad about it, like other places do. You are treated equally, and the treatment is the best you will ever get. They put in a lot of hard work to make it the best, and you will get 100%. You need to visit them, as you will never get a better place than this.

I have had so many bad experiences in my adult life with dentists that I always associated dentists with pain. For many years I stayed away and suffered in silence, but I took the bull by the horns and called Inverurie Smile Care (this was hard for me just phoning them). The lovely ladies at reception are so understanding, very helpful, and caring. On my 3rd appointment, my treatment started, and my nerves were all over the place, but my wonderful dentist and his very patient nurse made me feel so calm, made sure I was pain-free, didn’t rush me, explained things to me, and even at the end of the appointment, I got a hug and was told they were proud of me. Never ever in my adult life have I experienced anything even close to this. So if you are a big chicken with no feathers, just like me, I highly recommend Inverurie Smile Care; they truly are all angels.

My husband was amazed that he had such a wonderful experience at Inverurie Smile. From the moment we walked in the door until we left, he was completely at ease. After 40 years of avoiding the dentist, he says, “That wasn’t so bad; why was I so worried?” He’s actually booked his 6-month visit! Well done, Inverurie Smile Care! 😊

Since moving into this area and having had to change dentists after having been with my previous one for the last twenty years, I am very happy to say that Inverurie Smile Care customer service has been extremely helpful and polite. The level of care, knowledge, and professionalism displayed by their dentists has made the change seamless and helped me relax when undergoing treatment. I would not hesitate in recommending this practice to anyone.

Cannot thank Inverurie Smile Clinic enough. I was up on holiday in Inverurie and required an emergency appointment on bank holiday Monday. The clinic gave me an appointment within 2 hours and sorted out the problem. I cannot thank you enough. I was told I wouldn’t feel a thing, and I didn’t. One very happy lady. I can now enjoy the rest of my holiday pain-free. I highly recommend this smile clinic.

I have had a great experience. Everybody was very friendly and helpful at the reception. The appointment was on time, and the dentist was friendly but professional. More than happy with my treatment. Highly recommended!
