Nervous & Neurodivergent Patients in Yarrabilba

Anxious about the dentist? You’re in exactly the right place.

If the thought of the dentist makes your stomach turn, you’re not alone — and you won’t be judged here. Gentle, calm care for nervous patients is a special interest of ours, not an afterthought. It’s a big part of why our community calls us the Gentle Dentists.

We care for patients who are:

  • Anxious or fearful, or who’ve had a bad experience before
  • Neurodivergent — autistic, ADHD, sensory-sensitive
  • Kids who need a little extra patience
  • Anyone who just wants things explained, slowly and honestly

How we make it easier:

  • Happy gas (nitrous oxide) and other sedation options to help you relax
  • Longer, unhurried appointments — we move at your pace
  • “Tell–show–do”: we explain everything before we do it, no surprises
  • A calm, sensory-aware environment and a team that genuinely gets it
  • You’re always in control — we stop whenever you need

Tell us your worries when you book and we’ll plan the visit around them.

…or call (07) 3117 1774 — mention you’d like a gentle / first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sedation at the dentist safe?

Yes. Happy gas (nitrous oxide) is one of the safest and most widely used forms of dental sedation — it works within minutes and wears off just as quickly, and our team monitors you the whole time. We’ll talk through every option with you before we begin, and you stay in control throughout.

How much does it cost to see a gentle, anxiety-friendly dentist?

A standard appointment costs the same whether or not you’re anxious — happy gas is simply an optional add-on. New patients can use our New Patient Package (gap-free with most health funds, or $179.95), and we offer interest-free payment plans with Afterpay and Zip.

Can you help anxious or neurodivergent children?

Absolutely. We see children of all ages, including autistic, ADHD and sensory-sensitive kids, and eligible children can be bulk-billed under the CDBS (up to $1,158). We move at your child’s pace using a calm, “tell–show–do” approach so there are no surprises.
