How a first visit works

  • A chat first, with no treatment unless you want it

    Your first appointment can be a conversation in the chair or across a desk. Nothing happens until you say so.

  • A stop signal agreed before we start

    Raise a hand and we stop. It is agreed before anything begins, and it is never questioned.

  • Longer appointments so nothing is rushed

    We book nervous patients extra time, so there is room to pause, ask questions and take a breather.

  • Sedation available for some treatments after assessment

    If you need more than reassurance, sedation can be arranged for suitable treatments once the dentist has assessed you.

What nervous patients say

"I hadn't been to the dentist in 7 years, as have a phobia slightly of them. I can't recommend them more, so kind and understand of my fear."

— Tom, Google Review

"As a very nervous patient, I usually find dental visits quite stressful, but Andrew completely changed that for me. He is incredibly reassuring, taking the time to explain everything and make sure I felt comfortable throughout."

— Annie, Google Review

"As someone who has always felt quite nervous about dental treatment, I very much value his calm, patient approach. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and ensures I am comfortable at every stage."

Questions nervous patients ask us

Never. Many of our patients come back after a long gap; our job is to make a plan from where you are today.

Yes. Our free online smile assessment and symptom checker let you get advice from home first.

Sedation is available for some treatments after an assessment with the dentist. Most of our nervous patients find they do not need it once they have had a chat first, agreed a stop signal and been given a longer appointment, but the option is there if you want it. Call 020 3878 7465 to talk it through before you book.

A new patient check-up at Harmoni Dental Kingston is £50 (£25 for under-18s). If you would rather start with a conversation and no examination, say so when you book and we will keep the appointment to that.
