Posted By: Radiance Dentistry

Does visiting the dentist make you nervous? Do you have sensory issues that prevent you from visiting a dental clinic? We aim to help. 

Traditional dental clinics can be a sensory nightmare for some patients. Consider the bright lights, high-pitched drills, and various scents. Radiance Dentistry aims to flip the script on the dental clinic atmosphere with:

  • Tailored Lighting
  • Sensory Objects
  • Weighted Blankets
  • Pillows
  • Cushions
  • And Plenty of Patience!

We are a compassionate dental team and want to help every patient feel welcome and relaxed. If ever there is anything we can do to enhance your experience, please talk to us, and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

Sensory Dental Clinic in Leichardt, NSW: About Our Sensory Accommodations 

Our team understands that atmosphere can make all the difference for many patients. We also understand that making you feel cared for can help curb anxiety.

Rather than stark clinical lighting, we opt for calmer illumination. Rather than noisy dental instruments, we use quieter and gentler technology whenever possible.  

Ask a member of our dental team about our sensory objects (delightful squishy cubes) and how they might help you. Additionally, if you need a little at-home comfort, consider our refreshments, coffee and tea.
