I get very anxious at the dentist, can you still treat me?

Yes, we care for nervous patients regularly and shape the whole treatment around your pace, with pauses, plain explanations and one familiar dentist throughout.

Will the placement hurt?

No, it is carried out under local anaesthetic so the area is completely numb, and most anxious patients tell us it was far gentler than they expected.

Can I come and talk things through before agreeing to anything?

Yes, the free first visit is a relaxed, no-obligation chat, and you make no decisions on the day.

What if I panic partway through?

We agree a stop signal in advance so you can pause at any moment, and we will only continue when you are ready.

How do you help me understand what is happening?

We show you your own 3D scan on screen and explain it in everyday language, which for many anxious patients removes the fear of the unknown.

When nerves have kept you waiting

There are plenty of people in Chipstead carrying a gap in their smile not for lack of caring, but because the word "surgery" makes their stomach turn. If that describes you, nothing here is going to push you. This page exists to take the fear down a notch.

We will say it plainly: most patients find the reality far gentler than the version their imagination built. Our part is to keep every step within your comfort zone and to let you set the pace.

A first visit that asks nothing of you

The free consultation is a proper conversation. Tell us what unsettles you, whether it is the sound of the drill, the sensation of injections, a rough experience in the past, or simply not knowing what comes next. We capture a 3D image of your jaw and talk you through it on screen, because seeing what is actually going on tends to quieten the worst of the worry.

You will not be asked to decide anything that day. You take the information home and sit with it for as long as you like.

Why it feels easier than you imagine

The implant goes in under local anaesthetic, so the area is fully numb and the appointment is usually shorter and quieter than people brace for. Since we plan the whole thing from your scan in advance, the placement is deliberate and precise rather than something worked out on the spot.

You also stay with one familiar dentist the whole way, Dr Nev Jeyakumar, Dr Christine Marzahn or Dr Ankit Patel, so you are never re-explaining your anxieties to a stranger. For a lot of nervous patients, that single consistent face is what finally lets them relax.

Built around your comfort

We can split the work into shorter visits, pause whenever you raise your hand, and agree a stop signal before we even begin. Tell us what settles you and we will weave it in. Time and again, patients who arrived dreading it leave wishing they had not waited so long.

And when it is finished, your implant comes with a 10-year guarantee on Straumann and Southern Implants systems, so the reassurance does not end when you get out of the chair.
