Dental phobia
If you feel anxious about having dental treatment, rest assured you’re not alone. It’s very common to be worried about going to the dentist, or even to experience dental phobia. At Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic we believe you deserve the best dental care possible. Our team are trained to alleviate any fears, and make sure you feel calm and in control during every single visit.
We know that your dental health is intrinsically linked to your overall health, and that visiting the dentist as an emergency can be especially nerve-wracking. We recommend regular check ups to keep your visits stress-free, and to deal with any issues before they become a problem.
We ensure you have the best possible experience from the moment you step through the door. Our friendly team will put you at ease, and a comfortable reception, well supplied with magazines, complimentary refreshments and your choice of music, will help you feel relaxed.
When it comes to fears and phobias, we understand the power of open communication. Your local Henley dentist will spend time discussing with you any anxieties or concerns ahead of your treatment, and will continue to make sure that you are well-informed and cared for. Our practitioners are not only experts in their fields, but are sensitive and responsive to dental phobias and general anxieties. We offer a wealth of experience and tried-and-tested techniques to help you feel comfortable at every step, whether you are visiting for a routine check up or for further treatment.
If you have a severe dental phobia, talk to us about how sedation might help. There are a variety of ways to administer sedation to ensure you’re calm and relaxed before treatment begins.
There are a number of ways to alleviate your dental anxieties, some of which you can put into practice before you even arrive.
Help is at hand for dental anxiety and phobia.

What our patients say
"My teeth were in a bit of a state after decades of neglect and fear of the dentist’s chair! The team at Courtrai House changed all that... I used to dread dental appointments with a vengeance, but now just take them in my stride, and my dental health has massively improved. I wish I’d found such a good dental team in my youth! I would recommend them unreservedly."
What our patients say
"I had been going to an NHS dentist for many years and was finally persuaded to see a private dentist. I have never looked back. The time taken to explain procedures is very reassuring and the team make me feel at ease... Rebecca and her nurse Mandy are a delight and it is a pleasure to attend."
What our patients say
"I would very highly recommend this practice as they were professional,caring, informative and efficient. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, I am very impressed with every aspect of the practice."
