Nervous patients

As a practice we are keen to encourage anxious/nervous patients as we have many years’ experience of successfully treating anxious patients. The Dental Health Centre and has established a sensitive and compassionate team of dentists and staff who work together to help you overcome your fears.

We recognise that there are many reasons why people can be anxious about visiting the dentist and our team of clinicians are keen to understand what your reasons are and to help you to overcome them.

We have successfully treated many patients whose fear of the dentist has been so bad that they have avoided a dental visit for many years. When this is the case it is common to feel embarrassed about this, which may worsen your anxiety. We understand this and want to reassure you that we will not judge you for this. Our team will ensure you feel comfortable at every stage of your visit with us.

If you are nervous and worried about a dental visit, you don’t need to put it off any longer, we do free acclimatisation visits where you can come in and talk about your fears and look at the options we might offer you. We have many patients registered with us who were extremely nervous about their first visits; the great thing is that having overcome their fears, those patients now feel comfortable attending regularly for routine care. We would like this to be you, so why not book a visit!

To be honest, going to The Dental Health Centre is a day out! It’s lovely to see everyone, all the staff are fabulous! Dominic is the “world’s greatest dentist”. They’re an amazing team! Thank you xx

I should not have choked twice during my dental hygiene treatment that I was very unpleasant. The price has also gone up too much.

2nd November 2025

I was able to arrange an appointment convenient for me. Maria was extremely thoughtful in providing the treatment I needed within the checkup because she realised that I am housebound and travelling is very difficult. The treatment was quick and efficient and everything was explained clearly. Luckily for me I didn't have to negotiate stairs! It couldn't have been a better experience.

Polite staff and appointment time kept to. As this was only a checkup and not treatment there isn't a lot to comment on.

I have been visiting this practice for over 30 years and seen many challenges in staff from Denist Hygienist and receptionist. All have given excellent service.

Staff are brilliant as always

23rd October 2025

The dentist was fantastic. Had a poor experience with the hygenist who barely spent any time actually cleaning my teeth

20th October 2025

The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. I am very satisfied with all the treatment I have had over the years. Everything is explained to me very clearly and I feel cared about and not rushed in any way. It is a pleasure to come to the Dental Health Centre.

19th October 2025

All the staff are very friendly, professional and helpful. Dominic is thorough and provided useful, measured advice about potential options for me. I feel a high degree of trust.

12th October 2025

All the staff are so lovely. They seem happy in their work and knowledgeable. Aleena was frequently checking in with me during the scale and polish appointment, and demonstrated a better angle from which I could brush my teeth. Dominic is always a delight, great sense of humour and also very reassuring.

10th October 2025

I have always been completely satisfied by the treatment I receive from my dentist and hygienist and the nurses that work with them. They listen to me and explain any treatment I need. I must also commend the professional, friendly and helpful reception staff. I love my dental team!

Staff are courteous and helpful.

Always a welcoming smile on the reception desk, equally so with Allena the hygienist, the Tom my dentist. I travel from Disley in Cheshire to use this practice, and long may it continue. A truly great dental health centre.

9th October 2025

Literally everyone and everything is just excellent, the surgery is immaculately clean and the waiting areas are very comfortable.The reception staff are the best I've ever come across, so friendly and professional.The Dentist and his dental nurse are also just the best.There should be a category for excellent.This Practice is so good that I travel just over 100 miles each way to visit them, they are that good.

8th October 2025

Friendly and thoughtful staff who appear to enjoy their job. The hygienist was very thorough and gave clear advice on tooth brushing. Detailed explanation of my options from the dentist. Took time to go through situation and offer clear and sensible advice that was consistent with what he had said previously. Very professional.

2nd October 2025

I am a very nervous patient and had been putting off an appointment that I needed. From my initial phone call and then on going treatment I was treated with the greatest respect and care which made me at ease.

1st October 2025

Before becoming a patient at the Dental Health Centre Didsbury, I didn't go to the dentist regularly. Now I do. The hygienist and dentist explain everything clearly and they are patient when I am anxious. They respond well to questions. The receptionists are always friendly and efficient. It's not a cheap option, but it's worth it for the service I receive. Excellent.
