We've invested in the latest dental technology to ensure your comfort and eliminate anxiety
Are you scared that dental treatment will be sore or that you won't be properly numb? Are you needle phobic? Not to worry, we have The Wand STA - a computerized local anesthesia system that can determine the numbness of the tooth from its sensors and will display when the tooth is numb through a light on its display.
The Wand has a simple pen-like appearance rather than a big scary syringe, and automatically delivers numbing medication painlessly using its computerized sensors and controls. The STA in its name stands for Single Tooth Anesthesia, as it's able to numb teeth individually without the horrible swollen face feeling.
If the whistling sound of the drill or the noises during treatment make you shudder, not to worry - we've got you covered. We use electric dental handpieces which are much quieter than conventional whistling drills.
Additionally, we provide 3M Peltor Optime III Earmuffs with noise cancellation up to 35dB. These professional-grade earmuffs transform the already quieter electric handpiece into more of a whisper. You're welcome to bring your own headphones to listen to something you enjoy, as the Peltor Optime will fit over them comfortably.
Some dental chairs jolt you around suddenly like you're on a rollercoaster. Our clinic uses top-of-the-range ADEC 500 chairs. ADEC has a respected name in dentistry for comfort and reliability.
When you lean back in our chair, it's not only the backrest that reclines - the whole chair moves in a slow, gentle cradling motion. The light has dimmable options so it's not too bright, and we provide shaded glasses for your comfort during treatment.
From our open free layout to our calming color schemes and practice design, we've spared no expense to ensure your time with us is pain-free, relaxing, and even enjoyable.
If you want to get to know us better before your visit or are in pain but can't make it to our clinic, we offer dental video consultations from the comfort of your home. When you're in our practice, we have all our treatment discussions in a non-clinical consultation room or area so you feel more at ease.

Don't just take our word for it - hear from patients who have overcome their dental anxiety with us
"The Wand STA completely changed my dental experience. As someone who's been terrified of needles my whole life, I barely felt the injection. The pen-like device doesn't look like a scary syringe at all. For the first time, I didn't dread getting numb!"
"The noise-cancelling headphones and electric drills made such a difference. I usually panic at the sound of dental equipment, but with the Peltor earmuffs, I could barely hear anything. I actually listened to a podcast during my filling and felt relaxed for the first time ever at a dentist."
"The ADEC chair is amazing! No sudden jolting movements like at my previous dentist. The gentle rocking motion as it reclines is actually quite soothing. Combined with the dimmable lights and shaded glasses, I felt like I was at a spa rather than a dental office."
The Wand STA uses computer-controlled delivery to administer local anesthetic at precisely the right pressure and speed to minimize discomfort. Key features include:
