FAQs

What is Slow Dentistry, and how can it help reduce anxiety?

Slow Dentistry is an approach where we take extra time with each patient to ensure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and informed throughout the treatment. By slowing down the treatment process, we can reduce the stress that many patients experience during their visit, ensuring a calm, patient-friendly environment. The key to this approach is quality over speed, allowing us to meet your individual needs with more care and attention.

What can I expect from a hypnotherapy session during my dental treatment?

Hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxing technique that can help calm your mind and reduce anxiety. During treatment, Dr. Ayzaaz Akram, a clinical hypnotherapist, will guide you through relaxation exercises, helping you remain calm and comfortable during procedures. Many patients find that hypnotherapy helps them manage pain and anxiety without the need for medications, offering a completely natural solution for relaxation.

How do I know if I need Slow Dentistry or Hypnotherapy?

We assess each patient’s needs individually. If you experience anxiety, nervousness, or discomfort during dental visits, we’ll discuss the most suitable options for you. For some, Slow Dentistry is sufficient to help them feel at ease, while others may benefit from the added relaxation of hypnotherapy. We ensure that every treatment plan is tailored to your needs for the most comfortable experience.

Is hypnotherapy safe for dental treatments?

Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe and proven method for relaxation. It’s a natural technique that can be used alongside dental treatments to help reduce discomfort and stress. Dr. Ayzaaz Akram has years of experience using hypnotherapy to help patients feel at ease during their dental care, offering a safe and effective alternative to more traditional forms of anxiety management.
