Calm & Relaxed Dental Treatments for Nervous Patients in Marlow

You don’t have to let your fear of the dentist stop you from getting the dental treatment that you need.

about the treatment

Many patients feel apprehensive about dental treatment and nervous about visiting the dentist.

We can arrange special care for our anxious patients using IV sedation.

treatment process

Types of Dental Sedation

IV Sedation

The first type is called intravenous or IV sedation. The sedative drug is injected in a controlled manner, so that you feel relaxed during the dental treatment.

Inhalation Sedation

The second type is inhalation sedation, which is good if you don’t like needles. A small mask is placed over your nose and mouth, and you breathe in a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen. This gas mixture will make you feel calm during your dental appointment. You remain awake and aware while receiving the sedation, but you will experience a deep sensation of peace and relaxation while the team work on your teeth.

Our team of dentists and nurses are experienced in managing nervous patients and ensure you are safe and comfortable at all times during your visit.

frequently asked questions

Typically, 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the restoration. Your dentist will provide a more specific time estimate during your consultation.

The tooth is prepared under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity afterwards, which usually settles within a few days.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, CEREC crowns can be expected to last many years. Longevity depends on individual factors, including your bite, oral hygiene habits, and general wear. Your dentist will advise on how to care for your crown.

Yes. The ceramic material used in CEREC crowns is strong and wear-resistant. Clinical research supports their use as a durable, long-term restoration comparable to traditional alternatives.

CEREC crowns are made from ceramic that mimics the translucency and colour of natural enamel. Your dentist colour-matches the crown to your surrounding teeth during the design stage.

Most teeth that need a crown can be treated with CEREC, but suitability depends on the location, condition, and amount of remaining tooth structure. Your dentist will confirm whether CEREC is the right option at your consultation.

Implant-supported crowns are typically made using a different process. If you need a crown on an implant, your dentist will discuss the best approach with you.

Care for a CEREC crown the same way you would a natural tooth: brush twice daily, clean between your teeth, and attend regular check-ups. Avoid biting very hard objects. Your dentist will give you specific aftercare advice.

Ceramic crowns can chip or fracture in rare cases, just as natural teeth can. If this happens, contact the practice, and we’ll assess the damage and discuss your options—which may include repair or replacement.
