Nervous Patients
Stress-Free Dentistry in Leicester – Gentle, Relaxed Care for Nervous Patients
Do you avoid the dentist because of nerves, fear, or a past bad experience?
At 44 Dental Care Leicester, we understand completely. Many people feel anxious about dental visits — and we’ve built our practice around helping patients overcome that fear with calm, gentle, and compassionate care.
Our philosophy is simple:
“Stay comfortable with us.”
From your first phone call to your final visit, you’ll experience kindness, patience, and understanding — not pressure. With experienced clinicians, a welcoming environment, and safe sedation options, we make every appointment stress-free and pain-free.
Our Calm, Patient-Led Approach
At 44 Dental Care, we adapt everything — from our pace to our communication style — to your comfort level.
- Gentle Communication and Counseling We start with a conversation, not a check-up. You can tell us what makes you nervous, and we’ll explain everything clearly, at your pace, so you always feel in control.
- Step-by-Step Guidance You’ll never feel rushed. We stop anytime you need a break and only continue when you’re ready.
- Relaxing Environment Our Leicester clinic feels calm and welcoming — soft music, warm décor, comfortable chairs, and a friendly team who truly care about your comfort.
- Comfort-First Dentistry We use gentle numbing gels and slow, controlled local anaesthesia to ensure every procedure is pain-free. Our clinicians work quietly, carefully, and always with patience.

Safe Sedation Options For patients with higher anxiety or longer procedures, we offer two trusted options administered by trained clinicians:
Oral Sedation – A mild prescribed tablet before your visit helps you relax while staying awake and fully aware.
IV Sedation – A deeper level of calm delivered by our qualified sedation dentist. You remain conscious but calm and are unlikely to remember much of the procedure.
Both are fully compliant with CQC and SAAD safety standards.
Modern Comforts at 44 Dental Care
We use the latest dental technology to make every appointment smoother and gentler:
- iTero™ 3D Scanner – digital impressions, no messy trays
- Low-Noise Equipment – advanced drills and scalers for a quieter experience
- Warm-Water Systems – prevent temperature sensitivity during cleaning
- Ergonomic Dental Chairs – for maximum comfort during longer treatments
Dental Treatments for Nervous Patients
All our treatments can be carried out with additional comfort measures or sedation support, including:
- Routine check-ups and hygiene appointments
- Fillings and restorations
- Root canal therapy
- Tooth extractions and oral surgery
- Dental implants and cosmetic dentistry
Every treatment is delivered gently and at your pace.
Understanding Dental Anxiety — and How We Help
We know the reasons why people feel nervous about dental care:
- Past painful or traumatic experiences
- Fear of injections or “losing control.”
- Sensitivity to noise or smell
- Embarrassment about oral health
- Worries about cost or being judged
By identifying your triggers, we adapt our approach to remove fear and rebuild your confidence — step by step.

- If you feel comfortable, we’ll carry out a gentle assessment — explaining every step clearly. No surprises, no pressure.

Is it safe for nervous patients to receive sedation?
Of course. For stress-free dentistry in Leicester, sedations are safe. You get a minor dose under the observation of our experts, considering your age, gender, overall health, and anxiety level.
Is dental treatment painful?
Most superficial treatments are not painful. However, root canals, implantation, or deep fillings are done with the help of modern procedures to control pain.
Can I skip sedation for treatment?
Yes, having sedation is all your choice. You can skip them if you are uncomfortable with them.
For how long does the effect of sedation last?
It depends on the type of preferred sedation. Typically, it lasts a few hours or disappears right after a short procedure.
Do we treat children with dental anxiety?
Yes, we have separate staff to deal with nervous and anxious children and treat them gently.
