Our Approach to Patients Afraid of Implants

One of the most common situations we encounter in dentistry is the intense anxiety our patients feel about implant treatment. Questions such as “Will I suffer?” and “What happens if it fails?” can cause our patients to stay away from this modern treatment method. So how do we approach our patients who have implant fear?

Understanding and Empathizing with Anxiety

As Dental Aesthetics Oral and Dental Health Clinic, our first step is to take our patients’ fears seriously and try to understand them. Fear of the dentist (dentophobia) is a significant problem that affects the quality of life of many of our patients. When it comes to implant treatment, these fears can become even more pronounced.

The approach we apply in our clinic:

• We try to fully understand our patients' concerns by listening to them.
