Step 3: Deep Relaxation
You’ll feel calm, dreamy, and detached from fear — while still awake and responsive.
Avoid pain, panic and embarrassment — discover how in just a few pages.
If the thought of seeing the dentist makes you feel anxious — or even terrified — you’re not alone. For many, that fear stems from a past experience and leads to years of avoiding care.
At Keppel Advanced Dentistry in Sutton, we help nervous patients feel calm, safe, and in control using conscious sedation — a trusted, proven technique we’ve used with over 40,000 patients.
It’s a safe, medically supervised way to help you stay fully relaxed throughout your treatment — while remaining awake and responsive.
“Relieved from Trauma”
Blessed relief and peace-of-mind from the experts at Keppel Advanced Dentistry! My sincerest thanks for relieving me from absolute torturous tooth trauma (!) I am just so very grateful.
“I No Longer Dread the Dentist”
Having been an extremely nervous patient I no longer dread going to the dentist (or hygienist). From the minute you arrive and are met by Donna’s friendly welcome you are instantly put at ease. Tom just works miracles and I cannot believe the difference in the procedures and equipment used.
“My Fears Have Vanished”
Having been let down by my previous dentist, I was initially anxious about the treatment, but my fears have vanished. I feel confident that my teeth are in good hands and I’m relaxed and feel cared for.
