Stress free dental treatment
Whatever your negative dental experiences, with our help you can leave your fears where they belong: in the past. With refined care and expertise we’ve been helping patients throughout Monmouthshire, Gloucester, and throughout South Wales manage their fear of the dentist for many years - we can do it for you too.
It’s important that you look after your oral health. Your lifestyle, psychological well-being and dental health depend on it. If you continue to avoid the dentist, this can lead to severe, perhaps irreversible, damage.
So, take the first step. Work with us. Tell us everything. In detail. We understand the panic. The sweaty palms. The rumbling tum. The unsteady legs. The tears. We also know how to ease these symptoms. As your confidence grows, they will disappear for good.
If you need some extra help to deal with your dental anxiety, we can also offer dental sedation. With safe and proven techniques, patients receive sedative drugs which work rapidly to create a relaxed state that is maintained and monitored throughout treatment. Sedation patients often tell us they have little or no memory of their dental experience.
No pressure—you are in control
What does and doesn’t happen is up to you. You do not have to do anything out of your comfort zone.
Why not start with driving by The Mayhill Dental and Specialist Centre. You don’t have to do any more than this for starters. We have a beautiful practice with a calm, friendly, family vibe, which you will discover if you come in and say hello. Why not bring a friend or a family member?
We are happy to chat
This is your chance to tell us why the dentist gives you the heebie-jeebies—we will understand. Sit down and have a cuppa or two on the house.
Our staff are happy to discuss your concerns. We are trained, qualified and experienced in dental phobias. If this is enough, leave and have a think.
Meet the team—tour the premises
If you are ready for the next step, you can meet the The Mayhill Dental and Specialist Centre team. All of us. Putting faces to names can help to break down barriers. As does understanding our systems and processes, our treatments and technology.
You get to know us. We get to know you. Have a guided tour of the building. Ask as many questions as you like.
Choose your dentist
Getting to know you means we get to play matchmaker. Partnering you with the dentist we feel is the most sympathetic to your personality and individual requirements. But, if you have a preference, we are happy to oblige!
Your first dental health assessment
Comfy chair, feet up, music in the background. We are happy to tailor the tunes to your taste. Or you can bring your own music and headphones and zone out to your favourites while we check your dental health. It doesn’t take long and is painless. We can stop at any time if you need a break.
Your first dental treatment
This can be as simple and pain-free as polishing your teeth or a sealant filling. You won’t feel a thing and will walk tall when we’ve finished. And don’t forget the music!
If you need a course of treatments, we plan these close together. This means you don’t have the time to fret and undo all the good work that has got you this far.
Dental sedation
If you still need some extra help to relax before sitting in the chair, we may suggest dental sedation. On administering sedation you will slowly begin to feel more relaxed and sleepy. Some patients describe this as a dream like state. Once your dentist is satisfied that you are adequately sedated, they will begin treatment.
After sedation treatment you may experience memory loss that may last several hours. This will mean that you probably won’t remember the dental work being carried out and of course means that you should not make any important decisions during this time. Most people feel a little sleepy for a few hours following sedation. With this in mind, you will be given detailed instructions on what you should and should not do for 24 hours afterwards. The vast majority of patients are fully recovered 24 hours after their sedation treatment.
