For years I wouldn’t smile in photos and had such a fear of even going to the dentist. Since seeing Dr Sana Shinki the anxiety has stopped and I can show my teeth again in photos.

Is it normal to feel nervous about seeing the dentist?

You’re not alone - and we’re here to help

At Wellingborough Dental & Implant Clinic, we understand that dental anxiety is common and can affect anyone, regardless of age or past experience. For some, it might just be a few nerves before an appointment. For others, anxiety may lead to avoiding dental care altogether.

Whatever your situation, we’re here to offer calm, understanding support and make your visits feel manageable.

FAQs about care for nervous patients in Wellingborough

What is IV sedation?

IV sedation is a medication given through a vein that helps you feel deeply relaxed throughout your treatment. You’ll still be awake and able to respond, but you may not remember much afterward.

Will I be asleep with IV sedation?

Not fully asleep, but very drowsy. You’ll stay conscious but feel detached from the procedure. A trained professional will monitor you the entire time.

Can someone come with me?

 Yes, we encourage it—especially if you’re feeling nervous. If you have IV sedation, you’ll need someone to take you home and stay with you while the effects wear off.

How do I let the team know I’m feeling anxious?

Just mention it when you call or book online. Our team in Wellingborough will make a note and take extra care to support you throughout your visit.
