I am really nervous, can you help me through implant treatment?

Yes, we look after anxious patients every week and build treatment around your pace, with breaks, clear explanations and the same dentist throughout.

Will I feel the implant being placed?

No, placement is carried out under local anaesthetic so the area is fully numbed, and most nervous patients say it was far easier than they feared.

Can I just come for a chat before agreeing to anything?

Yes, your free first visit is a relaxed consultation with no obligation, and you decide nothing on the day.

Do I see the same dentist each time?

Yes, one dentist plans, places and restores your implant, so you never have to start over with someone new.

How will I know what is happening in my mouth?

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

If the dentist makes you anxious, start here

Plenty of people in Kenley have lived with a missing tooth far longer than they wanted to, not because they did not care, but because the thought of implant surgery made them put it off. If that is you, you are in good company, and this page is written for you.

We will be straight with you: the idea of an implant sounds more daunting than the reality. Our job is to make every step feel manageable, and never to rush you into anything you are not ready for.

A first visit with no pressure

Your free consultation is a conversation, not a sales pitch. You can tell us exactly what worries you, whether that is the needle, the noise, the not-knowing, or a bad experience years ago. We take a 3D CBCT scan so we can show you on screen what is going on, because for a lot of anxious patients, seeing the picture takes the fear out of the unknown.

Nobody decides anything on the day. You go home with the information and think it over in your own time.

Why the treatment is gentler than you expect

Implant placement is done under local anaesthetic, so the area is completely numb, and the appointment is usually quieter and shorter than people imagine. Because we plan every case from the CBCT scan beforehand, the placement itself is precise and controlled rather than exploratory.

You also have the same dentist throughout, Dr Nev Jeyakumar, Dr Christine Marzahn or Dr Ankit Patel, which means you are not retelling your worries to a new face at every visit. That continuity is one of the biggest reasons nervous patients settle.

Small steps, at your pace

We can break treatment into shorter visits, give you breaks whenever you need them, and agree a signal so you can pause at any point. Tell us what helps and we will build it in. Many patients who arrive dreading it tell us afterwards they wish they had come sooner.

And once it is done, your implant is backed by a 10-year guarantee using Straumann and Southern Implants systems, so the reassurance carries on long after the chair.
