Dental Phobia or Dental Anxiety affects many people and this fear can put people off maintaining routine hygiene appointments or clinical examinations, often resulting in a decline in oral health.

At Onyx Dental our Principal Dentist Dr Gurs Sehmi specialises in treating patients who are anxious about seeing a dentist. Our tranquil client lounge with aromatherapy candles and ambient music, will relax you prior to your appointment.

You will first meet with our dedicated Treatment Coordinator Jay Sehmi, who will listen to your fears and concerns to ensure they are understood and addressed. Whether it is fear of injections, pain or sounds of the drill we will ensure that your visits are comfortable, by offering pain free anaesthesia to numb the mouth, through to offering a selection of music to listen during your treatment.

Often dental phobia stems from the fear of the unknown, but at Onyx Dental we will spend time listening to you. We believe in co-diagnosis and feel it is important for you to understand everything about the condition of your teeth, gums and mouth; and be involved in deciding on the treatment plan for you. At each stage of the process we will explain what will happen and what the procedure will involve so you are always in know.

“I have put off getting work done to my teeth for years and when I came to Onyx Dental things were not in a good condition. Thanks to Dr Sehmi and the team, you have been great. Thanks for being patient with me and for explaining the procedures in detail” Miss K. Johnstone

“I have never been to a dental clinic where the team are so attentive. I was very scared of coming to see a dentist and my husband booked the appointment for me. Everything was geared around me having a comfortable experience, thank you to everyone at Onyx Dental” Mrs A. Wright
