Nervous Patients Dentist Notting Hill

If you are feeling anxious about dental care, you can expect to be treated with the utmost care and respect at Re:Nu. Our dentists will support you on your journey to building confidence in coming to the dentist, and we can also offer sedation to give you an extra helping hand during your chosen treatment.

Building your confidence, at your own pace

We understand that every one of our patients will have their own personal journey towards feeling more confident at the dentist.

If you’re feeling nervous about attending, we’re happy to offer you a non-clinical appointment, so you can get to know our dentists and accustom yourself to the practice environment.

We find that fostering a relationship based on honesty and trust can create significant breakthroughs in a patient’s confidence-building journey. In many cases, exploring the origin of your nerves and reassuring you that treatment will run smoothly can do wonders for your confidence and frame of mind when visiting the dentist in the future.

If you still feel apprehensive about dental treatment, we are one of a small handful of practices in the area to offer IV (intravenous) sedation.

What is IV sedation?

Intravenous sedation (IV) involves administering a conscious sedative into the back of the hand with a small needle called a cannula. IV sedation has been successfully used for decades, helping patients to go ahead with treatment (or a check-up) without feelings of anxiety and/or panic.

Why consider Dental Sedation?

  • Deep relaxation: relaxes you during any dental procedure.
  • Versatile: can be used during any dental treatment or routine check-up.
  • Amnesic effects: it’s common not to have any memory (or very little) of your procedure.
  • Fast recovery: patients tend to recover more quickly as the effects of sedation wear off. There is often no grogginess as it wears off (compared to other forms of sedation).

Who is a good candidate for dental sedation?

We recommend IV sedation for patients who:

  • Have a long-term fear of the dentist.
  • Would like to have no memory of their procedure.
  • They are undergoing a long procedure – IV sedation can help to pass the time. If you’re someone who struggles to sit still for long periods of time, it can help you to do so.

You are greeted before entering into a room of white light and wood panelling, perhaps cedar or pine. You hear the faint sound of binaural beats, a mix of tranquil marimba and Mongolian throat singing. There are monstera plants all around. A woman with the best teeth you’ve ever seen tells you to have a seat, asks if you need water, and you begin to tell her about your life. 20 minutes go by, but you already feel as if you have narrated the entirety of your existence. Have you found yourself in a rejuvenating dream or at the gates of heaven? No, you are just at Re:Nu Dental & Medispa. Relax, you are in Dr. Rajagopal’s hands now. Latha takes a different approach to her practice than other professionals. She talks through each step in the examination and cleaning and explains what you need to do to take ownership of your dental health. I went in for a deep clean, and her touch could not have been more gentle. My teeth feel brand new. She also was able to point out other issues that I was having, identified a fracture that needed filling, and recommended a regimen to help me maintain my gum health. If you are looking for a dentist that is a consummate professional and cares about their patients, go with Re:Nu. You also will be helping the orangutans.

I started looking for a dentist in the area after a minor problem and I was impressed by all the positive reviews, so I decided to book an appointment. Dr. Latha was absolutely amazing from the very beginning. She not only helped me address my initial problem but also worked with me on a long-term plan to improve the overall health of my teeth and gums. Her extensive experience and knowledge show in every interaction, and she has a remarkable ability to explain each procedure and step in a way that is easy to understand. What truly sets Dr. Latha apart is her kindness and genuine care for her patients. She always puts the patient's interest first, ensuring that I felt comfortable and was well informed throughout every visit. Her compassionate nature and patient-centric approach make every appointment a pleasant experience. The results speak for themselves, I am so happy with the current health of my teeth and gums. Recently, I started wearing clear aligners, and once again, Dr. Latha has been phenomenal throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with the care I've received from Dr. Latha and the entire team at Re:Nu Dental. They have improved my dental health so much and provided a level of care that goes above and beyond. If you're looking for a dentist who is skilled, compassionate, and genuinely invested in your well-being, I highly recommend Dr. Latha and Re:Nu Dental.

Re:Nu & Latha have been amazing for me & my teeth. The clinic is very bright and inviting but also full of up to date tech and machines. Latha is so clear at explaining what needs to be done or suggesting improvements when helpful. The atmosphere is one of patient first, supportive, informative, caring and expert led. My teeth have never been better. My daughter is now also a patient and has no fear of the dentist! I couldn’t be happier with the service or results (and I’m now considering some of the non dental services offered based on my experience to date!)
