According to medical journals, across the UK, more than 10 million adults have some level of dental anxiety, with around 6 million suffering from a full-blown dental phobia- so we are well used to patients who need a little extra TLC here at Willesden.

Around half of all patients, who visit our Willesden dentist clinic come in with some form of dental anxiety, with some even avoiding necessary dental treatment altogether because of their fear.

Due to the widespread nature of dental anxiety, we have plenty of experience with anxious patients. To make the experience more comfortable, we have created an environment that does not feel like a dental surgery, even down to the smell- our patients often tell us that our clinics smell more like a spa than a dental surgery!

Similarly, we also offer non-invasive, sedation-free treatment options to avoid post-treatment grogginess and side effects- making trips to the dentist in Willesden much less scary.

Unlike a GP surgery, there is no need to register with a specific dental clinic just because of its location.

This gives potential patients more flexibility, allowing them to choose a clinic based on any number of factors, which could include:

• Dentist type, e.g., orthodontic, cosmetic, general, or a mix.
• Payment type, such as NHS or private financing plans.
• Location preference, for example, if it is close to work or on a bus route.
• Personal recommendations from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Staying with particular dentists or other dental staff.

Our patients come from many different areas to receive our specialist cosmetic, orthodontic, and general dental treatments.

As such, Willesden welcomes patients from any location across the UK, as long as you can get to us on time for your appointments!

According to the National Dental Survey, more than 2 million adults in the UK haven’t been to the dentist in over a decade for a range of reasons. These include forgetfulness, dental anxiety, or a lack of NHS dentists.

Whatever the reason, if you have never been before, Willesden dentists will be pleased to welcome you for the first time for a general dentistry new patient appointment.

Many people who have never seen a Willesden dentist before, or haven’t seen a dentist since childhood, may feel that they will be judged by dental professionals and continue to not visit.

This, however, could not be further from the truth.

All new patients at Willesden will undergo a new patient appointment, regardless of when you last visited the dentist, which will allow you to meet your dentist so they can assess your teeth and gums for any treatment you may need.

A typical new patient appointment will include:

• Asking about your general health, any medication you take, how you care for your teeth, and if there are any problems with your teeth.
• Looking in your mouth to examine your teeth, gums, and mouth.
• Completing any necessary tests, including possible x-rays.
• Recommending future check-ups if your mouth is healthy, or appointments for recommended treatment.

There is no better time to improve your dental health than the present and we would be delighted to help you with any dental needs you may have at Willesden dentists.

Increasingly, our patients want to know how to visit us without driving, with many choosing to use public transport instead. Handily, our Willesden dentist is very well located for patients who wish to use public transport.

For example, you can easily catch the underground to Chalk Farm or Belsize Park, which are equidistant from the clinic. Alternatively, you could get any bus that calls at Stop Q on Steele’s Road, which is less than a 5-minute walk away from the clinic.

If you choose to drive, Willesden dentist is located in the London Borough of Camden, on Haverstock Hill, not far from Camden Town and Primrose Hill. You can find paid car parking at Chalk Farm, which is only 8 minutes away on foot.

We hope to see you soon!
