Enjoyable Dentistry

More about Enjoyable dentistry

Attending dental appointments can often be an extremely daunting and worrying experience for many members of the public. Individuals suffering from dental anxiety may benefit from a range of procedures available from Pearl Dental Clinic.

Avoiding dental check-ups can be detrimental to overall oral health and should not be put off, particularly when people suspect there may be something wrong.

Dental anxiety can emerge for a number of different reasons among individuals of all ages. Past experiences, sensitive teeth, difficulty getting numb and a strong gag reflex are extremely common issues that result in people avoiding the dentist.

However, Pearl Dental Clinic offers IV sedation to patients that suffer from fear of dental procedures to allow necessary treatments to be carried out without the worry of causing unnecessary pain or discomfort.

The sedative drugs work quickly to place people in a relaxed frame of mind that is monitored by a medical or dental professional throughout the duration of the procedure. While putting patients at ease, IV sedation also makes carrying out treatment a much simpler experience for the practitioner.

Alternatively to hospital general anaesthetic, individuals will still breathe for themselves while their dentist carries out the necessary work, which could be the ideal solution for those who have a fear of losing control.

At pearl dental clinic, we offer two types of IV sedation. We offer single drug midazolam IV sedation administered by an experienced sedation dentist. We also offer multi-drug deep sedation administered by very experienced medical practitioners. Both types of sedation are effective at sedating patients although extremely nervous patients may find multi drug deep sedation more suitable.

The use of the sedation drugs can also allow dental professionals to carry out extensive procedures during one sitting, which provides favourable results for anxious patients.

In addition, people who have a fear of the sights and smells of a dental procedure can rest easy in the knowledge that they will not be able to remember any of the events that occur while they are under sedation.

Depending on the length and complexity of the treatment required, individuals could be placed under sedation for various lengths of time. While there is a recovery period of around 15 to 20 minutes, individuals will not feel deep sedation effects after the IV sedation has worn off. However, members of the public opting for this technique should bring a friend or family member with them to the clinic, as they will be unable to drive afterwards.

Similarly, painless injections can be provided for individuals who may be worried about the pain of dental procedures, as well as a fear of needles. Using this technique, the dentist will use the Wand System.

This tool, which comes with a small tip that resembles a pen, provides an even flow of anaesthetic to patients in an extremely comfortable manner using a computer programme. By eliminating the ‘bee sting’ effect, the Wand System can often minimise the pain of dental injections.

The efficient and painless nature of this method of injection means it is increasingly popular among children who are worried about their early visits to a dental clinic.

    just a big thank you to you all.. had my dental work carried out yesterday and am so happy with the results!

    The dentist was brilliant and really helpful, offered alternatives to the treatment I originally thought I thought I needed (and cheaper, not ripping me off as other professionals would!) The whole service was very goo, questions and emails always answered and the online chat service was a big help too so thanks!

    Looks awesome and am VERY happy.. I would recommend to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment!

    A colleague recommended the Pearl Dental Clinic to me and I am very impressed with the service I received. The treatment options were carefully explained and I was advised on the most suitable procedure rather than the most expensive. When it came to perfecting my newly fitted veneers Dr Vahid Motahar was not satisfied until these were perfect. The staff are friendly and competent and I would not hesitate to recommend the clinic.

    For as long as I can remember I have hated my teeth and smile so decided to seek help. I found Pearl Dental on the internet and arranged an appointment. I was initially very nervous but Dr Vahid explained all my options and showed me examples of options available. I decided that lumineers were best for me. After a few more consultations and teeth whitening at home I was ready to have my 6 lumineers fitted in April. The process was relatively pain-free and in under 3 hours my smile had been transformed. My new 'smile, has not only had a positive cosmetic effect but also a mental effect - I feel happy when posing for pictures, talking to clients etc.

    Dr Vahid and his team are truly wonderful and treated me with the most care and attention. Nothing seemed to be a problem and the time and consideration taken not just operating on me but talking to me is something I have never experienced with another dentist. This is the start of I hope a great relationship with the clinic. Thank You!

    Best wishes

  • Dear Mr Motahar,

    Stephanie Wilson

    Last April you performed miracles on my teeth and transformed them with a seemingly simple procedure involving fillings on the bottom of the front four top teeth. i just wanted to let you know that I am still uttterly delighted with my new smile and it remains as good as ever over a year later. Thanks again for the work that you did.

    Yours sincerely,

    I came in on Saturday 31st October 2009 and had my teeth zoom whitened by your dentist Harshdeep Kaur. I just wanted to say thank you very much for the way I was looked after. It was a very professional service and I will recommend your services to all of my friends.

    Even though I am not local to the area your prices were very reasonable and you have saved me around £200 if I was to have gone to my local dentist. My teeth are now so much whiter! Thank you very much!

    Jennifer

    I would just like to thank you for the excellent treatment I had at your clinic with Dr. Ehsan Esfahani recently.

    I didn't use your recommended endontist in Harley St as this was rather a long way to travel. I did however use Dr Fiona McMichan in Farnham Surrey, tel 01252 726766. I received first class treatment at her clinic and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others. I don't know whether it would be useful for you to keep her details for other patients who live nearer this area Kind regards Jennifer

    Katie Prested

    I have had a truly fantastic experience at Pearl Dental Clinic. I have had three white fillings, a teeth cleaning and a lingual frenectomy carried out. Dr Vahid Motahar carried out all of this treatment in the most gentle way and therefore the whole treatment was virtually pain free. I am now very happy with my healthier teeth and mouth. I would like to say a big thank you to the fabulous Dr. Motahar and his team.

    I am writing to provide feedback on my recent visits to Pearl Dental Clinic. I have been visiting Dr Motahar for a number of different treatments ranging from a simple hygene appointment to a crown fitting. I would like commend Dr Motahar for his excellent work - i am a very satisfied customer. What is perhaps most notable is his balance of technical excellence and patient relations.

    I would be happy to recommend Dr Motahar's services to anyone seeking a high standard of practical or cosmetic dentistry.

    Kind regards

  • Dear Madam/Sir,

    Niyi from East London

    I am delighted with the work done at the Pearl Dental Clinic and wish to express deep gratitude and thanks to Dr Mohsen Esfahani, Dr Dejan Dragisic and the staff at the clinic.

    Upon finding Pearl on the web I was immediately impressed by the professional highly informative website. After putting through the first tentative email hoping for an appointment I was again pleasantly surprised by the swift response, examination and commencement of work. The administrators at the clinic are polite, patient, professional, understanding and welcoming as are the dental support staff whose chair-side work is precise and efficient.

    I presented in late 2010 with quite upsetting dental problems. Dr Mohsen Esfahani has a manner that immediately puts one at ease. He shows and talks concisely through what he has seen, discusses a range of options and explains their pros and cons. Just being treated as an intelligent adult rather than a mouth that needs working on is very pleasing. His considerate and thorough manner is to be highly recommended and his dental work is beautiful, caring tooth restoration. My other, more surgical work, was done by Dr Dejan Dragisic who like Dr Esfahani I cannot praise enough. He is another warm, patient specialist who empathises with his patient and explains the procedure to be done and what to expect then works to produce results that are essentially beautiful and highly functional dental solutions.

    Another thing, probably of much importance to anyone visiting a dentist, is I found even the most involved procedures were relatively painless. The anesthetic system the clinic uses does indeed help make things comfortable.

    For the first time in years, thanks to the dentists at Pearl Dental Clinic, I can actually give a full and confident smile. All in all I have no hesitation in recommending the Pearl Dental Clinic and my faith in them is such that I would travel for hours for an appointment rather than go elsewhere.

    Peter from New Malden

    Shortly before Christmas last year I was in severe pain with toothache. Unfortunately due to some unpleasant experiences I had not been to the dentist regularly for some time. My usual dentist was unable to see me urgently but after some research on the internet I found Pearl Dental Clinic. I phoned at once and actually spoke to Dr Zahra Esfahani who was able to see me almost immediately.

    Since that first visit I have undergone a course of treatment which has improved the condition and look of my teeth including cleaning and the fitting of a denture. The Pearl website states that Dr Zahra Esfahani is a specialist with nervous patients I can confirm that this is definitely the case and that I will now be seeing Dr Esfahani regularly, she has restored my faith in dentists! I cannot recommend Pearl Dental highly enough.

    Thanks

    Once more I am so grateful for my treatment today (10th August) The two front teeth you so painlessly removed, replacing with a small temporary plate, have given me absolutely no pain or discomfort whatsoever. My mouth feels completely normal with no pain killers needed at all.

    No one believes that I have had anything done. You provide such a kind, caring and excellent service for us "whimps", I dread the day that you move on or need a change of venue. Thank you so very, very much.
