The Serio Dental Anxiety Management with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in relation to dental anxiety?

CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns. In the context of dental anxiety, CBT helps patients recognize and challenge their fears about dental procedures, enabling them to approach treatments with a more positive and relaxed mindset.

While some anxiety management techniques offer temporary relief, CBT aims to address the root cause of the anxiety. By changing the underlying thought patterns that fuel dental fears, patients can achieve long-term relief and a permanent shift in their attitudes towards dental care.

Who is a good candidate for CBT at Serio Dental?

Anyone who:

Experiences heightened anxiety or fear at the thought of visiting the dentist.
Has avoided dental check-ups or treatments due to anxiety.
Wants to overcome their dental phobia in a supportive and understanding environment.

How long is the CBT process?

The duration of CBT varies for each individual. Some patients may benefit from just a few sessions, while others might need extended therapy. At Serio Dental, our in-house psychologist will work closely with you to tailor a plan suited to your needs.

Will I still need sedation if I undergo CBT?

CBT aims to reduce or eliminate the need for sedation by addressing the root cause of dental anxiety. However, sedation options are still available for patients who prefer an added layer of comfort.

Is the process confidential?

Absolutely. All sessions are conducted in a private, confidential setting. Your comfort, both mentally and physically, is our utmost priority.

How can I schedule a CBT session?

You can book an appointment directly through our website or contact our front desk. Our friendly staff will guide you through the booking process and answer any preliminary questions you might have.

I recently visited Serio Dental and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, the friendly receptionist Gabby welcomed me warmly and even offered a refreshing cool towel—a thoughtful touch that instantly set the tone for their high standard of care.Dr. Jana was amazing; she explained every step of my re-root canal procedure clearly, ensuring I understood what to expect. Her gentle technique meant I didn’t feel a thing throughout the treatment, which was a huge relief. Nurse Beata was equally impressive, ensuring everything ran smoothly and taking excellent care of me throughout my visit.If you're looking for top-tier dental care, I can't recommend Serio Dental enough. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and patient-centered approach make them a world apart from the usual NHS experience. A truly five-star service!

From the time I stepped to the practice, I found the place very welcoming and friendly. I had an emergency situation and I jumped in without any appointment. They suggested to me some dates that didn't work because if my work and the doctor very kindly extended his day to examine my teeth, to get an x-ray and advise me what is the best to do. It was a big positive surprise how they deal with my issue, not leaving me in pain and all of that with a professional but friendly to me attitude. I have been to some other dentists but here I felt comfortable and secure.The cost for the emergency was surprisingly low and reasonable.I definitely recommend it.

Dr Fahama and Nurse Baeta were wonderful with the children. One of my children was very nervous about the dentist, but they quickly became comfortable and both want to come back again!

I recently visited Serio Dental, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed into a clean, modern environment that immediately put me at ease. The little touches, like the lovely hand towel to help me relax, made a real difference.The hygienist was fantastic—she took the time to explain everything about the appointment, giving me practical tips on how to maintain my teeth in simple, effective ways. The receptionist was also incredibly polite and attentive. As I was leaving, she even handed me a card saying that a tree had been planted as a gift for my first visit! I was really impressed with their eco-friendly approach throughout.Overall, it was brilliant, and I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment! This is a big change for me since I usually dread going to the dentist. Highly recommend Serio Dental to anyone seeking top-notch, eco-conscious care!

Had a great Airflow polish treatment at Serio Dental with Magda, who was very informative and friendly during the hygienist session. I was given a bamboo toothbrush and an interdental floss to take home too. All the assistants and rest of staff were lovely, and I would highly recommend the Serio Dental practice for tremendous professionalism and great service!

I would love to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding care and service I received during my recent gum surgery at your Serio dental practice. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, every aspect of my experience exceeded my expectations, and I am compelled to share my positive impressions.First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest appreciation to Dr Anwar. The gum surgery I underwent was a significant procedure, and I was naturally apprehensive. However, Dr Anwar not only demonstrated a high level of expertise but also a genuine concern for my well-being. The detailed explanations provided before the surgery, the patience in addressing my concerns, and the skill exhibited during the procedure were truly commendable. I felt confident and reassured under his care, and the results of the surgery have been nothing short of remarkable.Equally deserving of praise is the reception team at your practice. From the moment I entered the door, I was met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The receptionists were not only friendly but also efficient in handling the necessary paperwork, scheduling appointments, and addressing any pre-surgery inquiries I had. Their professionalism and courtesy made the entire process smooth and stress-free.Moreover, the post-operative care and follow-up from both Dr Anwar and the reception team were exemplary. I appreciated the thorough instructions provided for at-home care, as well as the promptness in scheduling follow-up appointments. The genuine concern for my recovery and well-being did not go unnoticed, and it further solidified my confidence in choosing your dental practice for such a crucial procedure.In conclusion, I am grateful to have found a dental practice that not only excels in delivering exceptional periodontal care but also places a strong emphasis on creating a positive and patient-centered experience. I will wholeheartedly recommend your practice to my friends , confident that they will receive the same level of expertise, care, and professionalism that I did.Thank you, Dr Anwar, and the entire team, for making a potentially daunting experience a positive and successful one. I look forward to continuing my dental journey with your esteemed practice.

I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Sulaman Anwar, and I cannot express how incredible my experience has been. As someone who has undergone extensive dentistry work due to an accident as a kid, I have always had extreme anxiety around anything dental-related. However, Dr. Anwar's exceptional skills and unwavering patience completely transformed my perspective on dental care.I believe my case was particularly complex, but Dr. Anwar approached it with genuine care and dedication. He took the time to thoroughly understand every aspect of my situation, ensuring that he could advise the best possible path forward. Throughout my treatment plan, he always maintained open lines of communication with other specialists involved, ensuring that every step of the process was meticulously planned and executed to perfection.One of the treatments I went through under Dr. Anwar's expert care was a gum contouring surgery, a procedure that has quite literally changed my life. Since my accident, I had constantly hidden my smile, feeling self-conscious about asymmetry and appearance. Since the surgery, I have found myself able to smile again -- I can't express how life-changing this is for me.I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for Dr. Anwar's remarkable talent and genuine kindness. He goes above and beyond to ensure his patients' well-being. For anyone seeking a dentist who combines skill, patience, and an unwavering commitment to their patients' happiness and comfort, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sulaman Anwar. Particularly if you're anxious about dentistry!
