All patients are given enough time to express their concerns and requests and accordingly they are dealt in gentle manner. Some individuals needs some medications to relax themselves and procedures are done after giving local anesthesia
Riverway dental surgery believes in gentle and detailed care when it comes to delivering care.So if you are particularly anxious about dental treatments we can arrange longer appointments ,with clinician being aware of your situation.
In this first appointment we ask some questions and find and know you as a person rather than anything else. Depending on the level of anxiety we make arrangements for patients to be treated under iv sedation or some instances we make arrangements with local hospital to be seen and treated under general anaesthesia. This option is opted if patient the is having some treatment which are invasive like removal of wisdoms tooth which are positioned awkwardly or removal or scooping of cystic lesions in jaw bones or even complex implant placements which need bit of home harvesting from the hip or other parts of the body which is under taken by specialist like maxillofacial surgeon or orthopaedic surgeon in case of hip grafts and so on.
We also have several other options to give the help you need, including: Pain-free injections, relaxation techniques, sedation referral making sure that teeth are completely free of feeling before starting treatment desensitisation to the noise of the drill (behaviour modification) techniques for distraction eg: bringing your own music or e-books are strategies to help with the negative conversations you have with yourself that can cause anxiety.
Specialist referrals can be made for hypnotherapy treatment by a clinical psychologist if indicated.
specialist oral surgeons can arrange general anaesthesia if necessary for extractions.
