Comfort and Anxiety Control

Dental fear and phobia affects millions of Australians, and knowing this Lidums Dental has been custom-designed to provide comfortable and safe dental treatment for anxious patients

Many of our patients have said they felt like the only person in the whole clinic, due to the care and calmness they experienced at their visit.

Many patients delay or postpone dental treatment due to intense fear or anxiety, and at Lidums Dental we have created a tranquil and hassle-free dental experience to help reduce anxiety as much as possible.

Our People

Having a ‘Safe Haven’ for anxious patients is not just about the design of the physical space. It’s about the people who fill the space. Our Recruitment and Training Program has been carefully crafted to ensure we only attract and hire the best. It’s an opportunity to find and train people who share the same passion and empathy so our patients receive the care and respect we value. We look for people who want to grow and develop and this kind of Mindset allows for a fully functional and highly capable Team who can trust and support each other to be the best version of themselves. Applicants often say their experience in applying for a position at Lidums Dental has been like none other and always comment on how much the passion comes across from our Team. This is deliberate as we know that its important for our team to love what they do as well as like and respect each other to get the best results for our patients.

What does this mean for you? A Team of highly skilled individuals, who love what they do, are always learning and able to provide you with the best of care especially for those who may have high dental anxiety or fear.

Simple Dental Treatment

For shorter appointments, dental anxiety can be reduced using sedative medication such as Valium. This method means the patient is awake but feels more relaxed and can help make the process more pleasant. Many of our patients who thought they would need a General Anaesthetic for dental treatment due to their dental anxiety, have tried this option and been pleasantly surprised how well they coped. Others have said it made the appointment go faster as they fell asleep during the treatment!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Dr Maryam Ahlevi at Lidums for over ten years.   I have been incredibly impressed by her meticulous attention to detail.  I am a manufacturer myself and fancy myself able to adjudge precision workmanship and scientific discipline. On one occasion Maryam finished a crown and found that the space to the next tooth was not sufficient to admit the passage of dental floss.  She spent 40 minutes moving the teeth to ensure that the space would allow for flossing. She had 2 other patients waiting but would not finish with me until she had got it right.  I will never again complain if she keeps me waiting; she is probably tied up getting another job right.  This is a very good thing. I have been told that Dr Lidum, founder of the clinic, is equally fastidious.  Adelaide famously has one degree of separation. Word gets round, and businesses and consultants are duly rewarded or punished for their quality and integrity. I now live mostly in Malaysia.  I am getting an implant done at Lidums at a cost of at least twice what I would pay in Malaysia. That is fine by me.  I will never again get any dental work done by a dentist who is not named Maryam.  I am confident that she will use the best materials, and the best laboratory, and take whatever time is needed to ensure an impeccable job. And in ten or twenty years, when I am retired here in Adelaide, I can count on her, and on Lidums, being there and being able to deal with any problems that might arise. Thank you, Maryam, and thank you Dr and Mrs Lidum, founders of such a fine clinic.

For longer treatments we are able to use IV sedation or General Anaesthetic

At Lidums Dental we partner with Anaesthetists who are familiar with our treatment and processes, and are able to provide a high level of care during sedation procedures. This deeper sedation or anaesthesia option is beneficial for longer or more complex dental procedures such as the ‘All-On-X’ Teeth-in-a-Day Dental Implant Treatment. We find that our patients recover very quickly from their anaesthesia as our Anaesthetists have developed their processes to provide faster recovery times.

Our dental facility is designed to provide IV Sedation and, shortly, General Anaesthesia. With a day-stay surgical suite to provide a safe environment for patients, you can be sure you are in the best possible hands throughout your treatment.

Brands We Trust

Your care is only as good as the tools and materials behind it, so we choose them carefully.

We work with globally recognised, clinically proven systems that are TGA approved and backed by strong research, strict quality checks and reliable warranties.

This helps us deliver results that are precise, reliable and long lasting.
