Shifnal Dental Care Tackles ‘The Dreaded Dentist’
At Shifnal Dental Care, we are aware that for some people, going to the dentist can seem like a chore. Whether you just don’t like visiting the dentist, or you’ve had bad previous experiences, Shifnal Dental Care wants to help you. We’re a caring and friendly practice, who strive to ensure all patients feel comfortable and relaxed. We’d love to show you why dentists shouldn’t be feared.
Horror Stories
We’ve all heard those horror stories about the dentist – botched jobs, intimidating staff and worst of all, pain and discomfort. At Shifnal Dental Care, we do everything we can to ensure you leave happy and pain free. If you’ve been avoiding the dentist for a while, why don’t you book a free consultation with Katherine, our friendly treatment co-ordinator? Katherine can put your mind at rest by mapping out a treatment plan customised to you and your needs, guaranteeing you’re happy with the treatment you need. All of our staff are friendly and welcoming, and will do all they can to put your mind at ease. You don’t need to worry about being told off for not flossing, or visiting the dentist more frequently – we’re more concerned about the future of your teeth, and making sure we can help you achieve your dream smile.
Experience
All of our team members have a wealth of experience, which means they understand why patients may be anxious about visiting the dentist. Mr Bristow alone has been qualified for 42 years – meaning he’s had his fair share of patients in his time. Dr Wozniak Lek. Stom. has been the principal dentist at Shifnal Dental Care for over 8 years, so knows our patients well. We really do treat you like a friend, as we know all our patients personally, and ensure you are comfortable and happy with your treatment plan and the care you receive.
Emergencies
If you have a dental emergency, we have appointments available at short notice, and on Saturdays too. We understand that our clients are busy with work and life in general, so appointments for weekday evenings and Saturdays ensure your appointment fits perfectly in your busy diary.
Nervous Patients
Not many people genuinely look forward to having someone stick their fingers in your mouth, and we don’t take it personally. As soon as you understand your treatment plan and feel reassured that you’re in safe hands, the nerves go away, and you won’t dread future visits to the dentist.
Although this is the case for almost all of our clients, some people do genuinely have phobias of the dentist, or avoid it due to previous bad experiences. Our dentist, Dr Amy Hughes BDS is perfect for nervous patients – her calm nature and understanding of anxious patient’s needs means she’s the perfect fit in our team. She is guaranteed to help you feel relaxed and completely understand your treatment plan, so you won’t be worrying about any horrible surprises.
Treatment
We specialise in a number of areas, and can offer you a plethora of treatments including invisible braces, root canals, dental implants and teeth whitening. Whatever your reason for wanting treatment, we’re happy to help you achieve the smile you want, and are available to give you any advice on treatments.
We’d love to see you at Shifnal Dental Care, and are happy to give you any advice and help you may need. We are perfectly situated in Shropshire for both Telford and Wolverhampton, just five minutes from Junction 4 of the M54. We also provide free car parking, and we’re just a minutes’ walk from Shifnal train station!
