Is dental anxiety holding you back? Solutions at our dentist in Brentwood!
At Coptfold Dental, we are used to receiving patients who suffer from dental anxiety. Our team is trained to identify patients who arrive feeling anxious and nervous. If you arrive feeling anxious, a member of our friendly, empathetic team will be on hand to help you relax and feel comfortable. Often anxiety is a result of the fear of the unknown, and once your oral cavity has been examined, our dentist in Brentwood will discuss your condition at length with you. We want you to be inquisitive and ask as many questions as you like until you understand your condition and the recommended treatments.
We provide our patients with two options of sedation to help reduce anxiety. The first method is a slow-release sedative drug, which can be injected in a controlled and targeted manner. The alternative method employs a gas mixture that places you in a calm, peaceful state while remaining conscious. Both methods will ensure that you experience no pain and help you build your confidence for subsequent visits.
A sound dental hygiene program
Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is absolutely imperative if you are to retain your teeth with minimum dental repair work over your lifetime. We will discuss your oral hygiene requirements and guide you to achieve maximum effectiveness. The technique you employ and the toothbrush and toothpaste you use must be suitable for your mouth. Choosing a brush with unsuitable bristles or using the wrong technique can damage your teeth and gums. If you have children, we welcome them from an early age. The sooner they come to our dental surgery, the sooner we can help them become comfortable when they visit us, avoiding dental anxiety as they grow older. We will also educate your children on the importance of oral hygiene, guide you on the right brush to purchase for them and make sure that they brush correctly. If you start them off young, their visits to our dental surgery will be mainly for routine checkups and cleaning. In addition to our dentist in Brentwood, our team includes a qualified and experienced hygienist who will clean and polish your teeth so that the plaque buildup is removed.
Maintaining a radiant smile
Dentistry involves helping you keep your teeth in good, healthy shape, and this includes providing a range of restorative procedures and treatments. As a 21st-century dentist in Brentwood, we will perform all our procedures on the basis that your teeth and gums will, at the very least, be as aesthetically pleasing after treatment as they were before.
We provide a range of treatments to enhance your smile. If you have misaligned teeth, we will examine and assess your condition. Depending on your condition, we will use the most effective appliance to straighten your teeth. Modern technology has provided us with a range of dental braces and aligners, some of which can even be removed before eating or brushing. You may have lost teeth as a result of poor dental hygiene or an accident; either way, we can offer different options to replace them. One option that has become very popular is a dental implant because it can offer a permanent, stable replacement that looks and feels just like your natural teeth. Our expertise in using veneers to give you an even more radiant smile, together with white fillings and personalised teeth whitening treatments, will ensure that you can smile confidently.
Overall patient care
Your safety as our patient is our main concern, and providing the right services and treatments our patients seek is part of our dynamic approach to dentistry.

Therefore, you can enjoy these treatments, knowing you are being treated by a trained, competent clinician.
