The thought of dental care causing pain can be overwhelming, leaving many to put off essential visits out of fear. But what if we told you that modern dentistry has come a long way in ensuring comfort and easing anxiety?
At Whitehills Dental Practice, we’re dedicated to making your experience as pain-free and stress-free as possible. Your comfort is our priority, so you can leave your fears behind and focus on the brighter, healthier smile ahead.
Sedation Options to Calm Your Nerves
Our White Hills dental clinic uses nitrous oxide as a safe and effective way to keep you calm and relaxed so you can get the dental treatment you need. Also known as laughing gas, this odourless gas is mixed with oxygen and administered through a mask.
Nitrous oxide reduces your pain perception and anxiety levels by interacting with the brain’s neurotransmitters, creating a sense of calm. Once your treatment is complete, the nitrous oxide dissipates quickly so you can return to your busy day.
Local Anaesthetic to Numb Your Mouth
When you need a tooth-coloured filling or other dental treatment, we can completely numb the area with a local anaesthetic. Once administered, you won’t feel anything; your smile’s beauty and function will be restored before you know it.
Needle-less Injection
While this word may sound like an oxymoron, it is actually TRUE. We have this very special technology at our dental practice, which enables us to give you a “needleless injection.” If you have had bad experiences with needles in your mouth, to the point that you are now a needle-phobic, you are most welcome to come and see how this special technology works. Please ask us at your check-up visit, and we are more than happy to show you how this works.

At Whitehills Dental Practice, we understand that dental anxiety is real, so we do everything we can to help you forget you’re at the dentist. Whether it’s the relaxing music you hear when you enter our dental clinic, the calming artwork on the walls, the aromatherapy that wafts through the treatment rooms or the soft pillows that keep you comfortable while you watch your favourite movie, we want you to enjoy a dental experience like no other.
Dental sedation allows anxious patients to receive necessary dental care without tension and discomfort. If you avoid going to the dentist because of past experiences, anxiety or fear, sedation dentistry may be a good option for you.
