Gentle dentists for nervous patients in London (SE1)
New patient dental exams from £95 incl. two x-rays
Our London practice has several dental specialists, two of which are oral surgeons certified in the safe administration of sedation, which helps ease the mind of our anxious and phobic patients.
As talented, specialist dentists dedicated to nervous and sedation dentistry we know all too well how some patient’s fear of the dentist is often triggered by sounds, smells and sterile environments. For others, it’s the loss of control and even fear of pain that causes them to be phobic.
With this in mind, we’ve implemented certain techniques and treatments to make even our most nervous patients comfortable. Our practice has been set up to accommodate those who often feel uncomfortable at the dentist so they don’t have to avoid certain oral care or procedures that could potentially increase their quality of life.
How we manage dental anxiety
If needles, drills, and other equipment scare you, or you’re anticipating painful or uncomfortable treatment, we can certainly help.
Our goal at Mint Dental is to ensure each of our patients feel at ease with their prescribed treatment solutions – what matters to our patients, matters to us. That’s why we’ve built a strong team of kind oral specialists, who work round-the-clock with nervous patients day in and day out.
There are several routes we can take to help you manage your fear of the dentist and even control your pain management. One such solution is with IV (intravenous) sedation, which is a form of conscious sedation that will leave with you little to no memory of your treatment. Another conscious sedation solution we can rely on is with oral sedation, where patients can take a sedative in a pill form.
Techniques our dentists use that ease dental anxiety
Dental anxiety doesn’t need to hold you back – with 1 in 4 of our patients fearing the dentist, you can trust that you’ll be in the right hands when it comes to handling your care and ensuring your oral hygiene or condition doesn’t suffer.
Our safe sedation options are popular for patients undergoing particularly lengthy procedures, or those perceived to be painful.

With IV sedation, nervous patients can undergo their treatment whilst in a sleepy, relaxed and happy state.
Non-sedated solutions
For patients not wishing to undergo safe sedation, we have implemented common practices that are designed to improve the visitor’s experience and rapport so they do not find their first appointment too stressful.
We know initially nervous patients might find the presence of equipment stressful, which is why we can set up free pre-appointments in comfortable spaces with treatment coordinators who can introduce you to the practice, walk you through your worries and explain your treatment in full.
Our clinicians also use music whether played out loud or in headphones to ease the experience.
The atmosphere inside any dental practice is as much about the environment as the people.
Our treatment rooms and waiting areas are quiet, relaxed, calm, and comfortable.
Our dental practitioners are highly experienced in dealing with nervous patients and are on hand to discuss your anxieties with compassion and understanding.
You can discuss treatment in detail with your dentist before your appointment, and we can help you work through your fears at your own pace.
You are in safe hands at Mint Dental Clinic. Our team is highly trained, professional, caring, and always ready to greet you with a friendly smile.
We strive to make every aspect of treatment as quick and stress-free as possible.
