At Crossgar Dental Practice, we understand that many nervous patients may feel anxious or worried about visiting the dentist — and that’s completely normal. Whether it’s been a while since your last appointment or you’ve had a difficult experience in the past, we’re here to support you with kindness, patience, and understanding.
Our team takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and go at a pace that suits you. From your very first visit, our goal is to help you feel calm, respected, and in-control of your dental care.
We know that for many nervous patients, a visit to the dentist can feel overwhelming. That’s why our approach is always centred around trust, comfort, and communication.
At Crossgar Dental Practice, we take the time to:
Listen without judgement – understanding your concerns and past experiences
Explain treatments clearly – so you know what to expect and feel in control
Go at your pace – we never rush, and you’re welcome to take breaks if needed
Create a calm environment – our friendly team and modern setting are here to put you at ease
We believe in building confidence over time, and we’re proud to have helped many previously anxious patients feel more comfortable and even look forward to their visits.
For nervous patients or those undergoing more complex treatments, we offer safe and effective sedation to help make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
At Crossgar Dental Practice, we provide IV sedation; a form of deep sedation delivered through a small injection, allowing you to stay calm and comfortable throughout the procedure, with little memory of the treatment afterwards.
IV sedation carefully administered by our experienced team in a safe and controlled setting. You’ll be closely monitored at all times and supported before, during, and after your treatment.
