When you’re considering dental treatment, you want to know the recommendation is based on a thorough assessment.
Our Sherwood practice has an on-site digital OPG machine for full-jaw X-rays when clinically needed. For crown and bridge treatment, we use 3D digital scans to record your teeth and support the preparation of your restoration.
These tools support your dentist’s assessment and planning. The conversation still starts with you: what’s bothering you, what you want to change and what matters when choosing your care.
You don’t need to put off booking until you feel less anxious. Tell us what worries you when you call.
Dr Ricky Shao and Dr Vi Nguyen both have a particular interest in helping nervous patients. Knowing about a past experience, sensitivity or concern gives us a starting point for discussing support during your visit.
