We understand

No cold rooms, no rushing, no judgement

Dental anxiety often comes from past bad experiences, cold clinical rooms, masked dentists and shiny metal instruments. We understand how uncomfortable that can feel.

That's why we've created a welcoming, coffee-shop style practice, with a friendly team on hand from the moment you walk in. We promise not to ask too much of you, and to build a relationship of trust so you feel content and comfortable.

Nervous patient FAQs

Common questions

Should I tell my dentist I'm nervous?

Absolutely. Letting us know about your fears means we can talk them through and tailor your treatment so you feel comfortable at all times.

Can I meet my dentist before treatment?

Of course. At your first appointment you'll meet your dentist and talk through any worries or concerns before any treatment goes ahead.

My children are nervous. How do you help?

We know the dentist can seem scary to a small child. Getting to know you and your child first builds a bond of trust before we go ahead with any treatment.

★★★★★

As someone with major 'dental fear' I've never felt uncomfortable here, and I genuinely feel more inclined to maintain my dental hygiene as a result.

The dentist worked expertly, professionally and with much consideration, as I was a very nervous patient. End result is I am no longer frightened to visit the dentist.
