Afraid of the dentist? With us, you have nothing to fear.
Does the mere thought of the dentist make your heart race? Have you been putting off appointments for years? You’re not alone —studies show that one in two people is afraid of the dentist. For some, this fear is so intense that it’s referred to as a genuine fear of the dentist (dentophobia).
First things first: With us, you don't have to be ashamed of your anxiety. We take it seriously, treat you with patience and understanding—and together, we'll find a solution that works for you.
Why Anxious Patients Feel at Ease with Us
☕ The Initial Consultation—No Treatment Involved If you prefer, your first appointment can take place entirely without a drill or any treatment. We’ll take the time to talk about your fears, your experiences, and your wishes. You remain in control at all times.
⏱️ No time pressure, no surprises. We’ll explain each step to you before we take it. An agreed-upon hand signal gives you the assurance that you can stop the treatment at any time—you set the pace.
💤 Upon request: Treatment under general anesthesia For patients with severe anxiety or for extensive procedures, we offer dental treatment under general anesthesia. This way, you’ll sleep through the entire procedure and wake up with healthy teeth. The anesthesia is monitored by an experienced anesthesiologist—safely and gently.
🔬 Modern technology = fewer uncomfortable moments. Thanks to intraoral scanners, there’s no need for impressions that trigger the gag reflex. Our dental microscope and gentle anesthesia methods make treatments more precise and comfortable than ever before.
What happens if you just "wait out" your fear?
Understandably, many patients with dental anxiety avoid going to the dentist for years. The problem is that untreated teeth don’t get better—they get worse. A small cavity can lead to a root infection, and bleeding gums can lead to periodontitis—which even increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The good news is: The sooner you come in, the gentler and easier the treatment will be. The first step is the hardest—but you don't have to take it alone.
