Dentistry for Nervous Patients

Dr. Frances
Feeling Nervous About Seeing a Dentist? We’re Here to Help!
If you find the thought of visiting the dentist daunting, you’re not alone. At Tavistock Dental, we specialise in helping nervous patients like you. Dr. Frances has dedicated over 15 years to working with anxious patients, creating personalised treatment programs that prioritise your comfort and peace of mind.
What Makes Us Different?
Understanding Your Fear
We know that dental visits can be stressful for some people, and we’re here to change that experience. Nervous patients often face what is known as dental phobia, a condition that can be managed with tailored approaches to dental care. Our goal is to ensure you never feel judged and always feel supported.
We offer a free consultation with our care coordinator, this can be done remotely over the phone to help explain and prepare you for your next visit to the dentist.
“I have been a nervous of dentist for many years (64) and only treatment without sedantion at Tavistock Dental recently. All staff are amazing from reception to Dentist, Francis. I’ve even recommended to family member who now goes to Tavistock Dental. Thank you all so much. Anne
Pain-Free Treatments
With advances in modern dentistry, experiencing pain during a dental visit is now a thing of the past. Our clinic is equipped with the latest technology and techniques to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Whether it’s through sedation or advanced pain management, we ensure that your treatment is smooth and pain-free.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer sedation options designed to make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and completely unaware of the procedure. This means you can have your treatment done efficiently in one visit without any distress.
“If you’re a nervous patient then I highly recommend coming to Tavistock Dental. I was really nervous when I first came to see Dr Frances but Rosa from reception was really encouraging and Dr Frances listened to me and understood what I needed to feel more comfortable. The best thing is that I didn’t feel judged for being anxious and this actually made it easier to relax. Even when I can’t string a sentence together because I’m anxious I didn’t feel judged for that. If all dentists were like Dr Frances then I don’t think I would’ve been scared in the first place. Knowing that I can come here for my appointments now has and will make such a difference for me.”
What our satisfied clients are saying about us!
Yiran Wang Great service! Love it!parisa rajappan Fabulous dental practice! I called with tooth pain and was able to book an emergency appointment that morning. I've since had 2 wisdom teeth removed (within the space of a month) and the whole team was extremely kind and accommodating throughout. The receptionists, Rosa and Joanna, were so friendly and definitely helped calm nerves pre- and post-tooth removal. Dr Jack was very comforting when explaining the process and answering any questions I had, and made the whole procedure painless (and extremely swift). As someone with a terrible fear of needles and embarrassingly low pain tolerance, I can confidently say this place worked miracles! Thank you all :)Yijing Wang 上周四打电话约的周二下午五点 不用等很久 医生加班给我补的牙 技术很好😭😭😭Joanne Johnson Great dental practice. I'm on holiday & needed an emergency repair to my fixed retainer. They couldn't have been more helpful when I called and managed to fit me in the morning I called. Special shout out to Rosa & Jo in reception who were so lovely & Jack the dentist who was fabulous. Even though it wasn't a big job he still took his time explaining what he was doing, even showing me on screen the before & after treatment. He was kind enough to point out other areas of my retainers which will likely need some attention in the future. At each step of the process I knew what was happening. If I lived in London, and based on today, I'd use this practice.Gwen Mitchell Everyone is lovely and so understanding. The receptionists (shout out to Jo and Rosa) are friendly and really do their best to put you at ease. They have an option of being shown round and introduced to people before any work which I've never been offered before. Dr Frances is a calming presence and worked hard to put fears and my embarrassment to rest. I have fibromyalgia and issues with jaw pain. They did their best to work around my issues and not trigger ongoing pain. I would definitely recommend them to anyone like me with bad previous experiences which trigger severe anxiety.Daniel Ranebro Räddade min semester i London , Ioannna hjälpte till snabbt så jag fick träffa tandläkaren som tog bort min smärta i tanden .Richard Emery I cannot fault the excellent treatment I experienced this afternoon at Tavistock Dental. Having arrived suffering with a pre-holiday dental crisis, I found all the staff kind, gentle and caring, the treatment facilities impressively hi-tech, and my treatment options clearly and calmly explained by Dr Chohan and Dr Patel, with helpful follow up advice. First-rate clinical opinions, treatment and service: I hope to return as a regular patient.
