Appointments are arranged from our village location close to Hinchley Wood station: tell reception about anxiety triggers before booking so an appropriate assessment can be arranged; sedation availability is not assumed. Only after assessment will the Hinchley Wood team set out the suitable route, expected stages and continuing care.
TREATMENT PLANNING
Planning your care at Hinchley Wood.
There is no fixed number of visits or guaranteed cure for dental anxiety. Some people feel more confident after one supportive appointment; others need gradual exposure, psychological support or additional clinical measures. Review what worked after each visit. Regular manageable appointments can help maintain progress, but new symptoms should still be assessed promptly. Avoiding care indefinitely can allow a small problem to become more difficult to treat.
New-patient dental examinations start from £90 in the current private fee guide. This is an examination fee, not an all-inclusive anxiety or sedation package. Treatment, longer assessments and any external referral are quoted separately. Ask about NHS availability and payment options where relevant. Choices may include routine care with agreed adaptations, staged familiarisation, psychological support such as cognitive behavioural therapy, or a sedation referral after assessment. General anaesthesia is not a routine substitute for these approaches.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your journey, clearly explained.
01
Tell Us What Is Difficult
Contact your chosen practice and explain the main triggers, any urgent symptoms and what has helped before. Reception can discuss the appropriate appointment rather than promising a particular technique. Let us know about medication and relevant medical conditions; these matter if additional anxiety support is considered.
02
Agree Boundaries And Assess
At the appointment, discuss a stop signal, breaks and how much explanation you prefer. The dentist describes the proposed examination and seeks your consent. You can ask questions before proceeding. Findings are explained without requiring you to agree immediately to a large course of treatment.
03
Build A Manageable Plan
Care can be broken into suitable stages, balancing confidence with the urgency of dental disease. Local anaesthetic is used when required for pain control. If routine support is insufficient, we discuss appropriate behavioural support or referral for sedation assessment rather than assuming sedation is available onsite.
