First Appointment
If you are a new patient to Olive Tree Dental a new patient exam is carried out first to ensure you are dentally fit for the treatment. We carry out a comprehensive assessment of your mouth, and take X-rays and photographs of your teeth, whilst also examining the soft tissues such as your gums and tongue, as well the gland area.
The need for dental treatment will be diagnosed. If you have expressed that you are nervous prior to this appointment, we can offer to use The Wand and we can also offer to use sedation to help you relax whilst we examine you.
Second Appointment
If a decision is made to combine both The Wand Technology and sedation then a sedation assessment is carried out either in-person, over the phone, or on a video call. We will assess what needs to be carried out, and request that you fill out an anxiety questionnaire and medical form. A sedation assessment is carried out and we will request that you fill out a consent form.
If you are aware that you suffer from dental phobia and going to the dentist is often an unpleasant experience, this is an opportunity to help us to understand what triggers your anxiety by taking a few minutes to fill in this form Nervous Patient Form. Not only will it give us a detailed insight into your fears, but it will allow us to better prepare for your upcoming appointments at the practice, ensuring a smoother patient journey.
Third Appointment

Nervous patients, both adults and children, will benefit from The Wand technology, in addition to those who suffer from dental phobia. However, this is suitable for most patients.
The Wand can be used for all routine dental treatments including crowns, fillings, periodontal treatments and root canals.
As The Wand technology is designed to remove any anxiety associated with injections, it’s generally associated with a discomfort free procedure and our patients have given us positive feedback and said it isn’t painful at all.
Often the pain caused by injections with traditional syringes is created by the anaesthetic being delivered too quickly or with too much pressure / force behind it. The Wand eliminates these factors by using an automated flow rate of anaesthetic at a controlled pressure for a comfortable delivery. .
Not only this, but The Wand also delivers a more targeted injection, so your lips and tongue needn’t be numb for hours after your visit to the dentist. Using a sensor-controlled probe that numbs only the tooth being treated. The process is known as STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia).
Most commonly, dental phobia is born out of a negative experience with the dentist in the past. Once we have demonstrated to you that you are in competent, safe, and experienced hands, we’re sure you will feel more confident about dentist visits going forward. The Wand has really helped many of our patients overcome their fears of injections, and they have felt that the treatment itself is, therefore, associated with a much more pleasant experience.
Our in-practice surgeries are equipped with The Wand machine and unlike other practices, we do not charge any extra for the system to our patients. This is an extension of our commitment to further supporting our nervous and dental phobic patients.
