Do you break out in a sweat at the prospect of lying back in the dentist\u2019s chair, gazing up at the ceiling and seeing those purple-gloved hands plunging over your mouth? Does the whine of even a benign polisher make you feel anxious? Never fear, you are not alone. Being scared of the dentist, dentophobia, is not only real, it\u2019s a phobia that affects between 7\u201313% of the population.<\/p>\n

If dentophobia has stopped you coming to the dentist for years, you may now be in danger of losing, or have already lost, some teeth, and want to have them replaced with dental implants in St John’s Wood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DentalThere are different triggers for dentophobia. Maybe it\u2019s the sight of a needle, the fear of being told off by an authority figure, or the dreaded sight and sound of the dentist\u2019s drill. Maybe it\u2019s the thought of experiencing pain, the idea of not being able to feel your face, or the worry of the anaesthetic not working properly. Or perhaps it’s just the  plain fear of finding yourself having to pay a large and unexpected bill.<\/p>\n

Getting dental implants with us<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here in St John’s Wood, dental implants have been transforming lives, but having them fitted means you have to undergo oral surgery to place titanium posts with internal screws into the jawbone. It means the dentist\u2019s chair and the drill. It also means being able to eat what you like for the rest of your life, once the artificial teeth have been permanently attached to these implants.<\/p>\n

The idea of this may be too much for you, but the good news is that although in St John’s Wood, dental implants are normally fitted under local anaesthetic, at Aura Dental<\/strong> we have been specially trained to offer scared and anxious patients the right environment and care in which to be able to relax and enjoy a positive dental experience.<\/p>\n

You can opt for sedation, either oral or intravenous, along with the local anaesthetic. You will then be able to fully relax during your treatment. If you go for intravenous sedation you may not even be able to remember most of it. Whichever you choose, we will take care of you and make sure that you too have a transformed life with dental implants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
