Care for Anxious Patients and Sedation

The team states it takes a compassionate approach because it understands that some patients feel anxiety or anticipatory fear about a routine check-up or a specific procedure. It therefore offers dental sedation, including intravenous and oral sedation, for those who need it.

Languages Spoken

The clinic indicates that appointments can be conducted in several languages besides English: Afrikaans, Cantonese, Farsi, French, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Punjabi, Spanish, Tagalog, Japanese, and Vietnamese. Patients can state their preference when booking.
