Sedation Dentist Kidlington

TREATMENT FINDER

Pain Free Dentistry in Kidlington, Oxfordshire

Pain Free Dentistry in Kidlington is designed for patients who feel anxious, nervous, or fearful about visiting the dentist. At Smile With Us, we understand that dental fear affects people in different ways, from mild anxiety to full dental phobia. Some patients worry about pain, others dislike the sounds or smells of a dental practice, and some feel embarrassed because it has been a while since their last visit.

Fear of the dentist is nothing to be ashamed of. Many people have had difficult experiences in the past or feel worried about the condition of their teeth. At Smile With Us, we are here to support you, not judge you. Our goal is to remove stress, reduce discomfort, and help you feel safe and in control throughout your treatment.

Understanding Dental Anxiety and Fear of Treatment

Dental anxiety is extremely common and can prevent people from getting the care they need. Concerns about pain, injections, loss of control, or previous negative experiences all contribute to this fear. Our approach to dental anxiety is calm, respectful, and tailored to each individual.

Common reasons patients feel nervous include:

Previous painful or rushed experiences
Fear of judgment due to time since last visit
Sensitivity to dental sounds, smells, or instruments
Anxiety about injections or numbness

We take time to listen to your concerns, explain procedures clearly, and move at a pace that feels right for you. Many of our patients tell us that simply feeling understood makes a significant difference.

You can learn more about how we support nervous patients by visiting our Anxiety-Friendly Dental Care page.

Dental Phobia Certified Dentists You Can Trust

Smile With Us is proud to have experienced clinicians who are trained to treat anxious patients. Dr Amit Birdi and Dr Amit Kumar are both Dental Phobia Certified dentists, meaning they have undertaken additional training in managing fear and anxiety.

Choosing a nervous dentist who understands dental phobia can completely change your experience. Our team focuses on gentle techniques, clear communication, and building trust at every stage of your care. For further reassurance, you can read real patient feedback on our Google Reviews page.

Modern Pain-Free Dentistry Techniques

We use advanced techniques and follow best practice guidance from FearCentral, one of the leading authorities on fear-free dental care. Our commitment to pain-free dentistry in Kidlington is based on proven methods and patient outcomes.

Our pain-free approach includes:

Gentle anaesthesia techniques like QuickSleeper
Topical numbing gels before injections
Short, manageable treatment stages
Calm communication throughout the appointment

Our confidence comes from experience, and we stand by our promise of comfortable treatment. For patients exploring cosmetic options, pain-free techniques are also available across treatments such as whitening, bonding, and smile makeovers, which you can explore on our Cosmetic Dentistry page.

QuickSleeper Technology for Painless Dental Treatments

QuickSleeper is an advanced electronic anaesthesia system that allows us to deliver painless dental treatment in Kidlington with greater precision and comfort. Unlike traditional injections, QuickSleeper avoids the heavy numbness that can affect lips and cheeks after treatment.

Patients often appreciate that they can return to daily activities quickly, without lingering numbness or discomfort. If you are considering complex care, QuickSleeper can also be used alongside sedation dentistry to further enhance comfort.

All the staff here are wonderful so patient and understanding. I have a really big phobia of the dentist and very bad teeth but everyone I have spoken to have been fantastic. They made sure I was ok every step of the way and have worked out the future plan giving me options and explaining everything. They took everything at my pace and gave me lots of time. I would like to say a BIG thankyou to bec who went through all the plan and pricing etc with me and who is on hand for any questions this makes the whole experience so much easier.I didn't think I would ever say this but I would definitely recommend this practice they are brilliant

As someone who grew up in the 60's with NHS dentistry I'm terrifed of the dentist. Smile With Us are lovely and have never, ever caused me pain. (Still a bit scared though)! :)

The dental hygienist was very thorough. She took her time with each tooth, explained aftercare very well too. I have another appointment with Smile With Us for something else soon. Who knew visiting the dentist could be a pleasure! 😄

The best team of professionals I have ever seen. Can not believe how lucky I was to pick exactly this practice from all the Google maps choices. Few months ago I was in a terrible pain. All my mouth was hurting and I couldn’t point where exactly the pain starts from.Anneka, Dr Amit B. and Joe did their best for me and now I have my smile back after many years of hiding my teeth and most importantly I have no pain and I feel my teeth strong and healthy.Huge thanks for the great care!I would highly recommend this Dental Practice.

I always had problems with my teeth, and I have seen plenty of dentists in my life, but none were as good and confidence-inspiring as Dr Amit Birdi! He is a brilliant dentist, and has great communication skills. I never felt afraid to have various procedures, because I never felt any pain.Everybody working at this practice is lovely and friendly. The practice is welcoming, tidy and clean. Getting appointments was easy, and the receptionist always very helpful. Finally, and importantly, the costs were well explained in advance, and fair. I would strongly recommend this practice.

I would highly recommend this Dental Practice. All the staff are friendlyand helpful.Anneka is fantastic! She will go the extra mile to make sure she is doing the best for me and I’m ok. Knowing how panic I was going to dentist, now I am extremely happy with the fact that I am no longer nervous and I’m always looking forward to my next appointment. There is a lot to be done to my teeth and now is just the beginning of the journey but I’m happy that I have the real professional working on my perfect smile!I can’t thank her enough for all she’s doing for me!
