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.

I had a large hole in a back tooth, where an old filling had fallen out, which Tom filled this afternoon. He took a long time to prepare it and fill it and it looks like a tooth again. I am very pleased with it.

Always a pleasure to come for my appointment - I know I will be well looked after, I won’t feel hurried, and I know I will be listed to with any concerns I have, and advice will be given.

I saw Sue Walker today for a routine check up and I have to say that she is the best! I trust her implicitly and have such faith in her.<br>I'm a nervous patient due to a dental visit abroad that went horribly wrong which resulted in having an immense fear of dentists.<br>Luckily due to Sue and my Hygienist Clare, I now have no fear and can smile with confidence.<br>They're absolutely brilliant.

I rang early morning to say I had lost a filling, and the dentist fitted me in that afternoon. I was offered 3 options for treatment and the benefits of each were discussed. Very impressive at such short notice!

My dentist is always keen to know how I am and if I’ve had any problems. If I have she addresses them

I'm a nervous patient but have experienced nothing but kindness and understanding from Envisage. The girls on reception are bright and cheery, always a welcoming smile. The surroundings are calm, clean and comfortable.<br>I've found visiting regularly for a number of years now has really helped my anxiety no end and of course the health if my mouth!
