Gentle Dentistry
The most common fear when it comes to dentistry is of pain when having treatment. This is completely normal!
We (Winning Smiles Dentists Romford), have helped hundreds of people past this problem, with our extensive experience in this area, and our investment in medical technology to support all of our patients.
The dental wand, 3d scanning and conscious sedation have helped hundreds of people. We love the reviews people leave after having solved the problem: the fear of dentistry and wanting nicer teeth.
Painless Injection
The Dental Wand releases a small dose of anaesthetic to numb the area before we do anything at all. A gentle experience for everyone, every time.
Conscious Sedation
Conscious sedation (CS) is the best of both worlds. Remain in control during the process, completely forget the whole thing afterwards. Amazing but true.
The Dental Wand releases a small dose of anaesthetic so that the area is being numbed before the needle goes in. This means a pain-less injection for everyone, every time.
Some dentists charge extra to use this technology – but for us, it is at the heart of our gentle dental philosophy, not an optional extra!
How can dentistry be painless?
Avoiding painful injections is the first step. We use the dental wand for all of our patients.
It is perfectly normal to be worried about dentistry,
Conscious sedation (CS) is the final step to reassure most anxious patients needing dental treatment. If you have a needle phobia, concerns about gag reflexes and invasive dental treatment, Conscious Sedation is the best way overcoming all these fears.
Interestingly, you are neither awake nor are you put to sleep. The sedatives and painkillers administered makes you utterly relaxed and drowsy and makes you completely unaware of both the numbing anaesthetic (LA) and the actual treatment.
And finally – the most important ingredient?
We take our time – anaesthetic does not take effect ‘at the speed of light’!
Often new patients tell us that their experience of fillings is a sharp pain from the injection followed by a dentist drilling the tooth before it has gone properly numb: the result? Pain and Fear.
The most important ingredient is taking the time. The time for painless procedures to take effect, the time to ask if everything is ok, and to pay attention to the answer.
Take the time to come and see us and talk things through beforehand, it’s never as bad as you think.
What they say about us
Dental Veneer Replacements
To say I was terrified of dentists was an understatement! I had 6 very old chipped, stained veneers which I was totally ashamed of.
At my consultation, Andrew and Julie assured me it really would be painless (I didn’t entirely believe this at the time)…I returned to have all my old veneers replaced with immediate veneers. I was given a sedative to help me relax (wonderful stuff!) and didn’t even realise when I had the anaesthetic by way of the dental wand.
I can truthfully say the entire process from removing the old veneers to replacing with new ones was absolutely pain free. It wasn’t even remotely uncomfortable. I was quite happy chilling under a blanket listening to my iPod and before I knew it, I had lovely teeth again.
I feel 40+ years of having a phobia has been cured instantly so I cannot thank Andrew and his lovely ladies enough.

Ann-Marie – Getting a Perfect Smile
I just like to say thank you so much for your help and how much it has made me feel comfortable about my teeth. I have always hated my teeth, everything about them and it didn’t help that I am scared of going to the dentist either.
My whole experience of Winning Smiles has been fantastic. I hate everything about the dentist from the second you walk in till the second you leave. However since I have been going to winning-smiles my confidence has grown. There is not any pain at all including the needle at the very beginning to numb your gums. That’s the bit I hate the most.
When I went for my consultation and I explained that I feel my teeth were too far forward, that the front two teeth are too long and that the fillings that I had done somewhere else where yellow. He explained that I could not do anything about the teeth being so far forward with out breaking my jaw, but what he could do would be a significant difference. He explained by filing down the too front teeth, whiting all the front teeth and changing the colour of the fillings to match the colour of my teeth after whiting would make a big difference.
I agreed to have everything he said done and I am very pleased with the results, he took a before and after photo and it is amazing how much better they are and how much better I feel about my teeth. I was worried at first as I fault it would hurt but I can honestly say none of it did.
I love my new teeth and now can show them off. Thank you to everyone
