Pain Free Dental Care

If you stand in front or at the side of the practice you will see a big sign that says, “Pain Free, Life Transformational Dentistry”. This is not what we say but what our patients have said, their words.

Our whole team works exceptionally hard to ensure all our patients receive care that doesn’t hurt and is comfortable.

Another benefit of being a client at Smile Style Dental Care Centre is our wellness philosophy. Our team has helped thousands of people take back control of their dental health, reducing their need for dental treatment and eliminating the worry they will lose their teeth.

Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

We do offer sedation for more complex surgical implant treatments. The sedation we offer is intravenous (IV) sedation which is a conscious sedation technique. It is the strongest form of sedation available in the UK in general dental practice. You aren’t fully put to sleep, but you don’t tend to remember a thing about the treatment.

Conscious sedation is a form of anxiety control which makes treatment more tolerable for the patient. It is effective, predictable, and very safe. Conscious sedation is a modern alternative to general anaesthesia for most dental procedures. It will relax you and make you sleepy. Most patients can remember little or nothing of the procedure, but it does not affect any part of your memory before the drug is given.

Intravenous sedation is administered by a small plastic tube (cannula) placed in your arm or hand. Sedation will be administered and monitored by an anaesthetist specially trained in conscious sedation or by a dentist who has undergone the appropriate training to administer sedation.

Following your sedation, you will need to stay at the practice until the dental team is satisfied you are safe to be accompanied home by a responsible adult. Usually, drowsiness lasts no more than 8 hours. Very occasionally some patients feel drowsy the following day.

Sedation by injection will help you cope with dental treatment and reduce your anxiety. Even people who do not feel anxious about dental treatment choose to have sedation for uncomfortable procedures such as extractions.

What to do before your appointment on the day of treatment:

  • All patients must be accompanied home by a responsible adult who will take you home.
  • Do continue to take routine medicine unless the dentist advises otherwise.
  • Do tell the dentist if you have been to see the family doctor or attended hospital since your appointment was made.
  • Do give details of any medicines, tablets or pills which you are taking which you have not previously told us about.
  • Do inform the dentist if you might be pregnant or are breastfeeding.
  • Do not drink any alcohol on the same day.

Are you also embarrassed to smile because of missing, and wobbly teeth?

“Life Changing” Dentistry say Lynne. “Pain Free” say Tracie

Ok, so what would you get if you come in and see us at Smile Style? Well the first thing you’ll see as you stand in front of the practice or by the side of it, is a great big sign which says

“Pain Free, Life Transformational Dentistry”

Now that isn’t what I’ve said, that’s what patients have said. It’s their words, not my words.

We’ve developed at Smile Style, techniques which allow you to come in here and receive dental care which does not hurt.

To back that up we ask every patient when they leave, whether their treatment was comfortable and we are regularly getting a 100% scores, not just in my room but also in my associate dentist, Emma, and also the hygienist and therapist which I know that a lot of people find is an uncomfortable treatment even if they know the benefits of it.

So we are working really hard to make sure that we stand up to our promise and that’s what my guarantee is

“We stand by that you will have the most comfortable dental care that you’ve ever had or we will give you your money back” that’s how much we trust ourselves.
