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.

Tom is a really kind and compassionate clinician, he takes the time to make sure you are comfortable and explains everything he is doing. I am really nervous and he made me feel at ease.

A fabulous local service. Easy parking. Clean, bright clinic, choice of reading material in waiting room. Courteous friendly reception staff. Every body looks after you. I have mobility issues and was asked, how I was on the stairs, I was watched both ways. The room had amazing air conditioning on a very hot day, very welcoming. All in ok a very good appointment

I had a great experience at my dental appointment with Hugo and Mel. They were friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Hugo explained everything clearly and took the time to answer my questions. The treatment was gentle and efficient. I highly recommend Hugo and Mel.

Navigating life with severe anxiety issues had put dental treatment very low on the list of things to do.<br><br>I recently visited Envisage Dental Practice in Ferndown and I honestly can't praise them enough.<br><br>Dr Hugo Rowland and his side kick Tia never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable and explained every step throughout my visits.<br><br>Tia's 'chair' side manner is professional, involves empathy, clear communication, and a calming reassurance.<br>The treatment is modern, completely painless with Tia checking if I was okay multiple times during the work.<br><br>Overall, the treatment plan was crystal clear with all procedures and costs explained fully, upfront and with no hidden surprises.<br><br>From Reception to pain free teeth, thank you all!<br><br>Mark.

First time at this dental practice today, I was seen by Sue Walker who was recommended to me by a friend. Sue took time to explain every aspect of the check up, I am a nervous patient but throughout the appointment Sue was kind and understanding.
