That’s how many of our Google reviews mention nerves, fear or a phobia.
“I don’t like the dentist.”
Conor had bad experiences before he came to us. Here he is, in his own words.
“I’ve left it so long, I’m embarrassed.”
Lots of people we see haven’t been in years.
Nobody here asks why, and nobody tells you off. Your first visit is about where your teeth are now and what you’d like to do next. So the hardest part is the booking.
Back after 10 years of fear
“I hadn’t been to a dentist for over 10 years. Always petrified. … I was so scared I nearly cancelled. I’m so happy I didn’t.”
Patricia M., Google review, June 2023
“I’ve had a bad experience before.”
We explain first, and check in as we go.
Tell us what happened, if you want to. It helps us do things differently for you. We explain what we’re going to do before we do it, and check in with you as we go. So nothing in the chair comes as a surprise.
After bad experiences, kind and understanding
“I was always nervous about anything to do with my teeth from bad experiences with dental treatments in the past but they were so kind and understanding.”
Emma L., Google review, February 2020
“What if I need you to stop?”
Say so, or raise your hand, and we pause.
We tell you what’s next before we carry on. You set the pace, not the clock.
He stops at any signal
“He stops if I make any signal that I’m in discomfort and is keen to make sure I’m ok throughout.”
Laura V., about Dr Hamza, Google review, November 2024
“I’m scared of what you’ll find.”
You see what we see, then every option priced.
Often it’s the not knowing that’s hardest. Your dentist shows you what they see and explains it in plain words, including what’s fine. Then every option, with its price. You decide in your own time. So nothing gets sprung on you.
Years of anxiety, every step talked through
“I have had general anxieties about going to the dentist for many years but I can safely say Hamza talked through every step”
Google review, February 2024, a cracked wisdom tooth seen by Dr Hamza
“I feel sick just thinking about it.”

Comfortable, reassured, and not sick afterwards
“Today was one of the first times I left a dental appointment without feeling sick or throwing up afterwards, which says so much about how comfortable and reassured I felt.”
Lauren M., about Dr Mark, Google review, October 2026
“Will I always dread it?”
Many patients say one calm visit changed how they feel.
Take it one appointment at a time. The first is a look and a talk, and nothing more unless you say yes.
From phobia to looking forward to it
“I used to have a massive phobia of the dentist but I can confidently say now, I’ve never looked forward to a dentist appointment more.”
Emily C., Google review, January 2026
