Dentist Referrals at Clifton Dental Studio

Now taking on referrals for sedation and Happy air

***and we promise we will not steal your patient***

For the past four years, our experienced team of dentists and dental therapists have been providing RA sedation, relative analgesia, or what we would prefer to call, ‘Happy Air’ to young children and teenagers for a range of dental treatments.

RA sedation is a great tool to manage dental anxiety in both children and adults alike. But particularly in children and teenagers we use it routinely to prevent dental anxiety and phobia developing in the first place. RA sedation is typically suitable for children four to five years of age and older, creating a relaxed environment for a child to experience pain-free and stress-free dental care. 

Now, as a referral practice in Bristol it is important that we as a team maintain your trust as part of any referral relationship, which is why we make the following promises-

1. We promise to treat your patient as if they were a member of our own practice
2. We promise to provide your patients with ethical advice
3. We promise to be completely transparent in relation to our fees
4. We promise to keep you in the loop so you’re always aware of the treatments we proposed
5. We promise to not steal your patient.

We’ll return them to your care following treatment unless you request otherwise. We don’t want to be a dentist with a reputation for stealing patients, so we will keep very strict guidelines in the fact that we will return these patients to you. 

Here is principal dentist and practice owner Dr Neil Gerrard to explain how we can help you to treat anxious patients

If you feel it is beneficial to manage your child’s experience in order to treat existing dental anxiety, or more importantly, prevent the development of dental anxiety and phobia in the first place, then please consider referral for RA sedation to Clifton Dental Studio.

Please complete the referral form and a member of our team will be in touch shortly.

I have had dental treatment at Clifton Dental Practice for over 15 years. As a highly anxious person who is beyond fearful of the dentist, I can honestly say Neil and his team are wonderful. They are patient, warm, friendly and supportive. I recently had severe tooth pain. Neil seen me within 24 hours and I did not believe he could sort the issue “pain free”. He did, true to his word, with continued reassurance and checking if I could feel any pain.If you are like me, nervous and will do anything to avoid the dentist, I cannot recommend Neil and Clifton Dental Practice highly enough.

First upper jaw pin hole gum surgery yesterday. No pain whatsoever! Neil was superb, as was his friendly assistant. Made me completely at ease, talked through the whole procedure (not me, alas), keeping me updated and pain free throughout. Feel total confidence in them and have no problem with the hours travel to the friendly clinic - would travel further. Have been with my last dental practice for 25 years but Clifton Dental Studio now has my full custom and trust. Thanks team.

Absolutely fantastic practice. Friendly, polite, courteous and utterly professional. The dental treatment I have received has been superb and I'm over the moon with the results. I'd happily recommend the practice to anyone. Superb pain free dentistry at the very highest level and fabulous pain free aesthetic results. It’s a two and a half hour round trip for me but I won't ever go to another dentist.
