Nervous Patients

Please tell us! Whether you are booking your appointment or speaking to us when you arrive, letting us know you are feeling anxious is the best first step. We have extensive experience treating patients with dental anxiety and can adapt your visit to ensure you feel as comfortable and supported as possible.

Absolutely. We encourage you to come in for a non-clinical visit or a tour of our calm, welcoming practice before any procedure. When you attend your first appointment, we always take time to show you around and help you settle in before we discuss your dental care.

You are always in control. We can agree on a simple, non-verbal hand signal (such as raising your hand) before the procedure begins. If you use this signal, we will immediately stop treatment and give you time to rest or speak to us, ensuring you only proceed when you are ready.

Absolutely not. We completely understand that you may be feeling nervous, and do all we can to help you without any judgement.

Yes, of course. We understand that having a familiar and supportive person with you can be very reassuring. You are welcome to bring a friend, family member, or partner to accompany you to your appointment and help put you at ease in our practice.
