Feeling anxious before a dental visit is entirely natural, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Many of our patients arrive overwhelmed by anxiety, or by past experiences that have stayed with them. After just a few visits, they tell us they actually look forward to coming. We’ve built our entire practice around making that possible.
If you’re in pain, feeling anxious, or living with a dental phobia, tell us. Our dentists are compassionate, patient, and entirely non-judgemental; your comfort matters to us as much as your health. We’re here to help you feel calm, safe, and cared for, from the moment you arrive.
Book a free introduction: come and meet us, take a tour of the garden and practice, and have a coffee chat. No treatment, no pressure just a chance to see if we’re right for you.
Book an appointmentA free, booked visit: no examination, no obligation. For patients not yet ready for treatment, we offer a dedicated anxiety appointment: tea or coffee, a tour of the practice and garden, the chance to sit in the chair if you’d like to, and an honest conversation about your fears. A safe space to take the first step, entirely at your own pace.
A quiet outdoor space, unlike anything you’ll find at another dental practice. Step outside and simply be surrounded by flowers in bloom, birdsong, and tomatoes growing in the sun through the summer months. A cup of coffee or herbal tea, no clock ticking, no pressure. For many nervous patients, it’s the moment everything starts to change.
Every corner has been lovingly considered: candles, flowers, soft furnishings, with none of the clinical coldness, harsh lighting, or familiar smell. Instead, the gentle scent of aromatherapy meets you at the door. Anxiety begins to soften before a word is spoken.
Our dentists will take as much time as you need explaining your procedure; honesty is enough to build trust and ease your nerves on its own. But for some, nerves remain a real barrier to treatment, which is where sedation can help. IV sedation is given through a vein in the arm, or the back of the hand if needed. It removes the feeling of anxiety almost entirely; patients feel relaxed, sometimes sleepy or even asleep, and very often remember very little of the procedure afterwards.
Every visit moves at your speed. We explain before we act, and we stop the moment you need us to. Dental anxiety often runs deep, shaped by things that happened long before you sat in this chair. We understand that building trust is a process, and we want to earn yours one visit at a time. We take our time, and we never rush you.
Our care doesn’t end when you leave. We have a dedicated WhatsApp number so you can reach us after hours, on weekends, or over the holidays. We’re there when you need us.
The amazing journey of Kathy.
