For those who find it stressful

Step by step, in trust

Fear of the dentist is very normal and nothing to be ashamed of. At Zonnelach we work in small steps, with plenty of explanation and always with you in control. Nothing happens until you say it's ok.

Our promises

What you can count on

Your pace

We stop as soon as you signal, always, no exceptions.

Meet first

The first appointment is just talking, you don't have to do anything.

Clear explanations

You know exactly what will happen, how long it takes and what you'll feel.

Agree on the stop signal

A hand signal, raising your hand or a word: you choose the sign.

How it goes

Step by step

  1. 01

    Meet

    A calm chat, a cup of tea and a tour of the practice.

  2. 02

    Get used to it

    Sit in the chair, see the light, hear the sounds, nothing more.

  3. 03

    Small steps

    We slowly build up: looking, cleaning, possibly a small treatment.

  4. 04

    Celebrate

    Every step is a win. We look back together and plan the next visit.

Frequently asked

Can I just come for a look without treatment?

Yes, gladly. Many people start with a get-to-know without us doing anything.

Can someone come with me for support?

Of course. Partner, friend or family member is always welcome in the treatment room.

Do you use anaesthesia or nitrous oxide?

We always anaesthetise carefully and discuss what you prefer. Nitrous oxide is possible in consultation.

What if I panic during the visit?

Then we stop immediately. We breathe out together and see if you want to continue or come back another time.

Start with a chat

No treatment, just a meet. Tell us what you struggle with.
