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.”

All the staff were amazing and treated me with kindness and respect. Thank you so much 🤗Dr Clio Pillay2025-03-24 I had an amazing experience with Dr. Chowdry and their wonderful team during my recent root canal procedure. From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Chowdry was incredibly gentle, explained everything thoroughly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The root canal itself was surprisingly relaxing and painless (I even fell asleep!), thanks to their expertise and care. The entire team led by Jo were also so helpful in rearranging my appointments to fit my schedule, making the process even more stress-free. They were incredibly kind and understanding, especially given how stressful I know the procedure can be. I truly appreciate their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch dental care! Special thanks to Elena Dr Chowdrys wonderful assistant and Jo, Rosa and the entire team.Kamdi Irondi2025-03-22 Tavistock Dental is the best dental clinic in town.

He is incredibly attentive, gentle, and supportive, making every visit as comfortable as possible. I’ve had regular check-ups, fillings, and even wisdom tooth extractions with him, and each procedure was handled with great care and professionalism. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I feel at ease throughout. If you’re looking for a dentist who truly prioritizes patient comfort and quality care, Dr. Jack is the one to see.Mike McGowan2025-03-14 I needed to have 2 retained roots extracted urgently because I was in a lot of pain. Called up Tavistock Dental and they said "Come on down!" When I got there, we did all the usual admin stuff then they took me straight through to Dr. Jack who was warm, professional and hugely competent. He was assisted by Greta, who was also competent and efficient. The extraction took about 20 minutes in total and the whole thing was accomplished with virtually no pain and no particular difficulty from my perspective. I was packed off with a comfortably numb face and some useful information. All in all, superb service from everybody there including Charlotte and her colleagues on reception, so I'd recommend Tavistock Dental to anybody.
