Helping Anxious Patients Feel Comfortable at the Dentist
At Martin Mylne Dental, we understand that dental fear is a real barrier for many patients. That’s why we offer gentle, patient-centred care to help ease dental anxiety. Whether it’s been years since your last visit or you’re simply nervous about treatment, we’re here to support you in Capalaba, Cleveland, and surrounding areas.
What We Offer to Help You Feel at Ease
1. Sedation Dentistry for Nervous Patients
We offer options to help you feel calm and relaxed:
• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A safe, mild sedative that takes effect quickly and wears off just as fast. Ideal for mild to moderate anxiety.
• Oral Sedation: A prescribed medication taken before your visit to reduce anxiety. Speak to our team to find out if this is right for you.
These methods are ideal for patients seeking gentle dental treatment or who have a fear of dental procedures.
2. A Calming Dental Environment
Our clinics in Capalaba and Cleveland have been designed with comfort in mind. From relaxing music to supportive staff, we focus on creating a stress-free setting. We encourage you to ask questions and let us know what helps you feel safe and supported.
3. Gentle and Understanding Dental Care
We take time to talk you through every step. There are no surprises—just clear, kind communication. Our dentists use gentle techniques and go at a pace that suits you.
4. A Personalized Approach to Dental Fear.
We know everyone experiences dental anxiety differently. Whether you're concerned about pain, embarrassment, or past experiences, we tailor our care to meet your needs.
