Going to the dentist can stir up some big feelings, whether you’re a kid or an adult. That’s why we’ve designed a comfort menu to take the pain out of dental visits and make it a positive and relaxing experience that leaves you feeling soothed—not stressed. Browse through our comfort menu and see the goodies we have to offer, so that you can relax ahead of your next appointment.
Imagine wrapped up in a soft blanket, watching your favourite sitcom on Netflix while a medley of soothing aromas wafts in the background. Doesn’t it sound like just another relaxing day at home? That’s exactly how we wish for your dental visit to be—free from unnecessary pain and anxiety.
To that end, we invite you to select from a diverse comfort menu that ranges from cozy amenities to entertainment options and more. Let us know what items will enhance your visit, and we’ll take care of the rest.
True comfort starts with small changes. Our soothing menu blends cozy textures, familiar scents, and serene touches to make your dental experience calming.
Warm Towelette: Begin your visit to our dental clinic with a warm, refreshing towel wipe to soothe your face and hands.
Soft Blankets and Neck Pillows: Settle into our cozy chair with soft blankets and neck pillows that keep you warm and help you relax, especially for longer procedures and treatments. They help reduce tension and minimize muscle stiffness, making the treatment and atmosphere less stressful for you.
Aromatherapy: Who says a dental visit can’t feel like a blissful spa day? With our nifty essential oil diffuser offering scents of your choice to calm your nerves, you might forget you’re in a dental chair at all.
Lip Balm: Keeping your mouth open for long during treatments can be an unsettling experience. We’d especially hate for your lips to bear the brunt of lengthy dental procedures, which is why you’ll receive a lip balm to help keep dry and cracked lips at bay during open-mouth treatments.
Organic Soap: Before or after your treatment, enjoy the gentle yet refreshing cleanse of our organic soap, made with natural botanicals.
Distraction is one of the most effective ways to allay anxieties and fear during a dental sitting. What better way to distract yourself than by watching your favourites on television? Whether you crave music, sports highlights, or reruns of your beloved sitcom in the dental chair, we can make it happen.
TV & Streaming: Enter a zen state by listening to your preferred tunes on YouTube Music, or channel your discomfort into sports replays on TV. We also have Amazon, Netflix, News Channels, and YouTube options to suit every mood – making the treatment room feel like your private entertainment centre.
Low-Volume Options: Prefer low-frequency tunes or just some white noise? Create the environment you want by choosing from a range of zen-inducing meditative sounds – or even request pin-drop silence – before your visit.
Soothing Beverages: Calm your pre-appointment nerves while you wait with our assortment of specialty teas that are always available in our dental office. These carbon-neutral teas, consisting of lemon & ginger, chamomile, and jasmine flavours, are the perfect antidote for dental treatment anxiety.
Stress Relief Toys: Channelling your stress to a neutral object can work wonders in managing anxiety. Hold on to our assorted, colourful ice-cube toys when you’re feeling restless and experience instant relief.
Our dental office and team is well-versed with modern options to manage pain and anxiety.
Our staff’s trained hands deliver advanced numbing anesthetics with great care to minimize your discomfort. Whether it’s a simple filling or a more complex procedure, our numbing solutions can be adjusted to suit your sensitivity levels.
We understand that some of our patients may need extra support staying calm. As such, we provide safe sedation options under careful monitoring. These range from mild sedatives that take the edge off to stronger solutions that allow you to remain at your relaxed best throughout the procedure.
No matter what the procedure, you’ll never feel out of control during your appointment. We equip our patients with a thoughtful hand signal system that allows them to communicate easily when they’re feeling uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or just need a break. We’re always vigilant for non-verbal cues, so you can count on us to stop and check in with you immediately.
Our patient comfort menu isn’t exhaustive. If you have any unique needs or specific requests to help you navigate through your dental procedure more easily, please don’t hesitate to approach our staff and let them know. We welcome any special requests or preferences ahead of your dental care appointment so we can effectively accommodate them and make your experience as comfortable as possible.
While our comfort menu is always at your disposal, practising a few self-guided activities can make your visit seem less stressful. Here’s what you can do:
