Smile with us
People with healthy teeth smile more easily, appear more cheerful and laugh more; those who laugh often have a more positive approach to life and generally get a more positive response in return.
Smiling is an expression of quality of life. At Adent, we do our best to make sure that whatever the reason for your visit you will always leave with a smile.
We want you to have the best possible experience at our clinics, which is why we have methods to help anxious or scared patients with their treatments:
- The use of local anaesthetics or surface anaesthetic gels for adults and children
- Treatment under conscious sedation using nitrous oxide (laughing gas). This reduces stress and anxiety in children and adults and provides a sense of relaxation.
There are many reasons to smile at Adent!
