Nervous patients

Whatever your negative dental experiences, with our help you can leave your fears where they belong: in the past. With refined care and expertise we’ve been helping patients throughout Ferndown manage their fear of the dentist for many years - we can do it for you too.

It’s important that you look after your oral health. Your lifestyle, psychological well-being and dental health depend on it. If you continue to avoid the dentist, this can lead to severe, perhaps irreversible, damage.

So, take the first step. Work with us. Tell us everything. In detail. We understand the panic. The sweaty palms. The rumbling tum. The unsteady legs. The tears. We also know how to ease these symptoms. As your confidence grows, they will disappear for good.

No pressure—you are in control

What does and doesn’t happen is up to you. You do not have to do anything out of your comfort zone.

Why not start with driving by Envisage Dental Ferndown. You don’t have to do any more than this for starters. We have a beautiful practice with a calm, friendly, family vibe, which you will discover if you come in and say hello. Why not bring a friend or a family member?

We are happy to chat

This is your chance to tell us why the dentist gives you the heebie-jeebies—we will understand. Sit down and have a cuppa or two on the house.

Our staff are happy to discuss your concerns. We are trained, qualified and experienced in dental phobias. If this is enough, leave and have a think.

Meet the team—tour the premises

If you are ready for the next step, you can meet the Envisage Dental Ferndown team. All of us. Putting faces to names can help to break down barriers. As does understanding our systems and processes, our treatments and technology.

You get to know us. We get to know you. Have a guided tour of the building. Ask as many questions as you like.

Choose your dentist

Getting to know you means we get to play matchmaker. Partnering you with the dentist we feel is the most sympathetic to your personality and individual requirements. But, if you have a preference, we are happy to oblige!

Your first dental health assessment

Comfy chair, feet up, music in the background. We are happy to tailor the tunes to your taste. Or you can bring your own music and headphones and zone out to your favourites while we check your dental health. It doesn’t take long and is painless. We can stop at any time if you need a break.

Your first dental treatment

This can be as simple and pain-free as polishing your teeth or a sealant filling. You won’t feel a thing and will walk tall when we’ve finished. And don’t forget the music!

If you need a course of treatments, we plan these close together. This means you don’t have the time to fret and undo all the good work that has got you this far. Take the first step today…why not give us a call on 01202 871488 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.

Today I had a long appointment with Tom Rowland and I would like to say what a pleasant and friendly dentist he is. He described everything he was going to do and answered my questions. I am so pleased with the result of his treatment as I can now smile again with confidence !!!

I was a new patient with an infection and the receptionist were so lovely and did what they could to get me in. Hugo, the dentist was so kind. He explained the entire procedure and was compassionate and efficient. I am so glad moved to this practice, I can’t thank them enough.

Having very high anxiety issues, dentist trips have always been difficult for me. My trip to the hygienist (Stephanie Davis) was a very comfortable experience providing a very professional, gentle and informative appointment. Just being able to feel comfortable has made my visits less stressful. Thank you.

Have had several visits here in the past few weeks and can highly recommend the team there. The receptionists are welcoming and the treatment I received from both Hugo and Mel was first class. I was made to feel at ease and every part of the treatment was explained, they listened to my concerns and questions and showed me photos at the end to illustrate what had been done. Would particularly recommend to anyone who is nervous or anxious as they are so friendly and take the time to look after you throughout the whole visit.

I’ve had an outstanding experience with Envisage Dentistry in Ferndown, under the care of Dr Tom Rowland and his brilliant Nurse Tayla. What began as a desire to improve my smile turned into an 18-month journey that exceeded all expectations. From the initial consultation through to the final results, every step was handled with professionalism, precision, and genuine care. I went through braces to straighten my teeth, followed by whitening, composite bonding, and ultimately a full set of crowns on my top row, and the transformation has been incredible. Tom was fantastic throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain each stage clearly, made sure I was comfortable with every decision, and delivered results that look completely natural while still being a huge improvement. The whole team at Envisage were welcoming and supportive, which made what could have been a daunting process feel smooth and reassuring. I couldn’t be happier with my new smile and would highly recommend them to anyone considering cosmetic dental work.
