Feeling nervous?
Dental implant treatment is about more than just the treatment itself. Our experienced team have been supporting patients through dental implant treatment for 20 years. We understand this can be an emotional journey for many people.
Often our patients have a complicated relationship with their teeth and dental treatment. Many patients are:
anxious about their dental situation
embarrassed about the condition of their teeth
nervous about dental treatment
We understand. Our role is to help you move forward, put you at ease, and bring you to a place of dental confidence.
When you choose The LSB Clinic for your care, we will take you through the steps of treatment, talking your language, keeping you informed, being responsive to your needs, and making you feel empowered from beginning to end.
“On the surgery day I was a little nervous, but the staff were so nice and friendly. Over the years I didn't smile much and wasn't confident having photographs taken. But now I have started smiling and laughing. I have more confidence, and my husband is really pleased too.”
Say goodbye to an uncomfortable denture
