What sets our dentists apart?

We know that when it comes to our relationship with teeth, nothing is ever simple. We all either have or have had a private battle with our teeth at some point in our lives. Whether it’s a crooked smile, yellowing teeth, or a long journey through orthodontic treatment. There is a strange comfort in knowing that most of us have had a point in our lives where our teeth have left us feeling a little down.

You may be embarrassed, afraid or full of regret at having put off the dentist for as long as possible. You’re afraid that your procrastination has only caused a lot of damage to your teeth and that you will now be in for a costly treatment, so you continue to put it off.  Perhaps you’ve been scarred from a bad dental experience many years ago and it has left you with a deep trauma preventing you from seeking treatment.

Reimagining the dental experience

It’s important to know that how dentistry was ten years ago is no longer how we practice. Our team takes a holistic view of our patients, which allows us to treat the whole person, not just their teeth and mouths. This means we consider how these anxieties, fears, shame and avoidance, and tailor treatment plans to your specific needs.

Little did you know that dentistry can actually be a really approachable and comfortable experience. From watching “moving art” on a ceiling TV, having a warm neck and forehead pillow and grounding rebalancing exercises after your long procedure. As I said, dentistry has come a long way!

At Integrated Dental Health, your comfort and wellbeing are our utmost priority. Our dentists are specially trained, not only in the art and science of dentistry, but also to help you manage the dental experience mentally and emotionally.

Here are just some of the things that set our dentists apart:

1. Their use of language, always elevating like your personalised coach, helping you on your healing journey to health.

2. Their patience in waiting for you to be ready for every step throughout the procedure, you never feel pressured just to grin and bear it because there is someone else waiting their turn. We go at your pace!

3. Their philosophical attitude in terms of empowering you to make choices and helping you have as deep of an understanding of your condition as possible.

4. Their passion for exceptional dentistry, without compromise.

5. Their interest in other allied health practices that might complement your treatment and facilitate your healing journey – your way!

6. Their soothing nurturing voice and gentle touch, we never want to patronise but are there for you if you need extra TLC.

7. We love fussing over our patients. It’s what makes our day, seeing your smiles at the end of the appointment or hearing your feedback.

8. Our sense of fun when treating children. We engage at a deep level and enjoy every moment, allowing us to connect with our own inner child and play. Who said work and fun do not go together, plus who wants to see a grumpy serious dentist anyway?

9. Our professionalism and sense of utmost confidentiality regarding your deepest concerns and fears.

10. Our passion for changing the old paradigm that dentistry has to be painful and unpleasant. We aim to create a dental spa feel to our space.

11. We love treating dental phobia patients – no fears are too big or too much of a hassle for us. It’s never a problem and there is always a solution. We utilise conventional as well more holistic modalities, to support those who are managing past unpleasant dental experiences.

When it comes to dental treatment, a huge number of people don’t know where to start, who to see, or who will be sensitive enough to your needs your concerns.

At IDH we can assure you that our dentists will always be tuned into your feeling and will create the treatment plan that suits your needs best. We’re excited to help you on your journey toward your dream smile. So what are you waiting for?
