Many of the people we look after arrived anxious, often after years away. There is no judgement here about how long it has been or what your teeth look like. Tell us you are nervous when you get in touch, and we will shape everything else around that.
You can come in, sit down and just talk. Nothing happens in the chair until you are ready for it to.
We book the time your appointment actually needs, so nothing feels rushed. We are open until 8pm on Mondays and Wednesdays if a quieter evening slot helps.
You see the same face at each visit, so trust has a chance to build. You never have to explain your nerves twice.
Before anything starts, you agree how you will tell us to pause. When you signal, we stop. Every time.
Our iTero scanner replaces the trays of putty many people dread. A small wand, a few minutes, no gagging.
Parking on site, step-free access and a ground-floor surgery. The visit starts calmly because the journey does.
Mention that you are nervous when you book, by phone or in a message. It goes on your file and the whole team knows before you arrive.
Meet your clinician, talk about what worries you and what you want, and ask anything. You decide what happens next, not us.
We start with whatever feels manageable and build from there. Before any treatment you get a written plan with the price, so there are no surprises in the chair or on the bill.
No. It is one of the most common things we hear, and the person telling us is never the only one that week. We care about where your teeth go from here, not where they have been.
No. Your first visit can simply be a conversation. Nothing is done until you understand it, want it and have the price in writing.
You will have agreed a signal with your clinician before anything starts. Use it and we stop, take a break and only carry on when you are ready. Stopping is never a problem.
Yes. Bring whoever helps you feel at ease. There is space for them in the practice, and parking on site for both of you.
Call us and say the words "I am nervous". We will take it from there.
