Don’t Let Fear Ruin Your Teeth!

Scared about dental care? You’re not alone! There are countless patients who are positively petrified by the prospect of going to the dentist. Each year, millions of people around the world delay or ignore their need for dental care, leading to worsening symptoms, more complicated problems, and more expensive treatments. At Waterford Smile Co, we’ve made it our mission to treat anxious and dental-phobic patients – you don’t have anything to fear with us!

Our dental office are designed to be as relaxing and non-clinical as possible. Dentistry is stressful enough without feeling like you’re in an operating room! We’ve always wanted a place where dental phobia and anxiety patients can feel at ease, and we think you’ll love it here!

I’ve always been afraid of dental work and extractions etc but their technique and attention to detail is beyond what words can express! ive had three extractions for dental work and literally ZERO pain. – Ms Fili 5* Google Review


Waterford Smile Co Fear

Understanding Your Care To Eliminate Fear

For many patients, the fear of dental care can be boiled down to the fact that they don’t understand it. Sitting in the chair and staring into a bright light while someone sticks things in your mouth can be pretty stressful, especially when you don’t know what to expect or when or why!

We want you to be an active part of your dental care, so everything we do will be a collaborative effort between you and your dentist. You’ll meet to discuss any suggested treatments and firmly establish your desired outcomes for your dental experience.

We make explaining every piece of your care a fundamental part of our practice. We’ll never begin a procedure until you’re comfortable in your understanding of it, and we’re glad to continue telling you what’s happening as we work. This can go a long way to alleviating fear!

Friendly staff and great service. I like the ambiance of the clinic and it is matched by the warmth of the people. I was initially afraid of dental procedures but they made it really easy for me and I was able conquer my fears. Thanks again! – Ramon 5* Google Review


Waterford Smile Co Fear

We’ve picked a team that excels in making our patients feel comfortable. They’re compassionate, understanding, non-judgemental, and truly care about what you’re going through. When you’re starting to feel on edge about your care, a calm, friendly face can be the difference between panic and relaxation!

We’ll never make you feel as if you’re acting unreasonably, and we’ll always make accommodations for your worries and fears. We all share the goal of providing you with great dental care that will motivate you to keep your mouth healthy for life!

Sedation Options

For some patients, there isn’t any getting over the intense fear they have of the dentist. In these cases, we recommend oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation is a pill that you take shortly before your appointment, and by the time you arrive for your procedure, you’ll feel calm and relaxed. Some of our patients even fall asleep in the chair!

Because oral conscious sedation will make you quite drowsy, we will require you to bring a friend or family member who is able to drive you home after the procedure.

Anxiety is a real part of dental care, and we understand it completely. We’ll always do everything we can to make your care a stress-free and positive experience. If you’re ready to give our no-anxiety approach to sedation dentistry a try, don’t wait – call  today! You can also schedule an appointment using our online form. We can’t wait to see you!

“Helping me overcome my fear”

Seriously the best dental clinic in Winnipeg!! After not going to a dentist for over 6 years, the smile team was able to fix my smile again. Ive had three root canals with multiple fillings done by 3 different dentists (yikes I know) and Dr. Nguyen was by far my favourite dentist (Dr. Jeal a close second) that I’ve had!! She made sure I was okay during the procedures and I couldn’t even feel the freezing needles going in. She also had no judgement at all towards my broken smile while doing her absolute best of repairing the problems. Instead she encouraged and gave me hope that I will have healthy teeth once again!! Thanks Dr. Nguyen!!

Their Dental assistants Melissa and Elisa always made sure I was comfortable during the procedures. Melissa made sure to follow up the next day after my appointment to make sure I was felling okay and was very helpful answering any questions I had. Thanks Melissa!!

Alyanna is the best dental hygienist you can get!! she makes getting your teeth cleaned a fun experience instead of a scary one!! She is sweet and caring. Not only does she do the best job making sure your teeth are pearly white but also makes sure you are comfortable at all times!! Thanks Alyanna!!

Overall, a great place to get dental work done if you are thinking about it!! The ladies at the front make payments and appointment booking very easy as well. Thank you Waterford Smile Co for getting me my healthy smile back and for helping me overcome my fear of going to the dentist

“No pressure and no judgement “

It has been a couple of years since I saw a dentist or hygienist, as I always found cleanings to be uncomfortable because of sensitivity to cold water and air, so I kept putting it off, but realized I had to go soon because oral hygiene is so important. From the moment I finally brought myself to call and make an appointment, I knew I was in good hands.

Being greeted with a warm welcome and smile as soon as I walked in the door did wonders to make me feel at ease.

Since it was my first appointment, a bunch of x-rays were needed. What a cool experience that was with their state-of-the-art equipment! Then seeing my teeth in colour, at various angles, on the large tv screen was SO much better than seeing them on a black and white x-ray held up to a light box! 

Alyanna is without a doubt the best hygienist I have ever had. Coming from someone who dreaded having their teeth cleaned, that is saying a lot! She was knowledgeable, informative, efficient, caring, funny and super easy to talk to. She gave me a heads up if she thought I might have a bit of discomfort when she was about to work on a particular area (there was NO discomfort, by the way), and checked to make sure I was doing ok throughout the cleaning process.

After my check-up (and getting a clean bill of health!) they took the time to discuss my concerns and was very clear and thorough when explaining a future treatment plan. There was no pressure and no judgement at all.

To say I was very impressed with my entire experience is an understatement. I HIGHLY recommend Waterford Smile Co to everyone, and have been raving about them to my friends and family.
