How can we help?

Relax – you’re in safe hands

If you are anxious about visiting the dentist, you’re not alone – around a quarter of the UK population share your fears.

For most people, dental phobia results in nothing more than a racing pulse and sweaty palms. But for others, the fear can be enough to deter them from seeking desperately needed treatment.

Wherever you are on the scale, rest assured that the phobia-friendly team at Harley Street Dental Studio can help you put aside any nerves. We offer a comfortable and relaxed experience that’s unlike any other dentist you’ve experienced.

Our gentle approach to nervous patients is what makes us one of the country’s top clinics for treating dental phobics – and it’s also helped us achieve Phobia Certified status.

I had a tooth infection, which resulted in bone loss and a ‘dead tooth’. I was quite worried and did not know what an implant would be like. However , I was pleasantly surprised and really impressed with the procedures as well as the result. Thanks to Dr, Jose Navarro’s expertise and state of the art techniques, the procedures involving ‘bone grafting and implant placement’ were carried out with minimum pain, quick recovery and excellent healing. Following that, Dr, Mark Hughes made sure that my ‘new tooth’ was a perfect fit. I would, therefore call it ‘a perfect treatment’. I believe that Harley Street Dental Studio’ really is a Centre of Excellence. Because in addition to its world class dental surgeons, it also has a team of very efficient and friendly support staff, which has made me feel at home and welcomed over the last 12 yrs.

I originally went to Harley St dental for Invisalign but was advised to use regular braces or incognito braces since it would have taken less than half the time and with better results. Dr Steffen Decker took over my “case” being a specialist in incognito implants.Overall it’s being a very good experience. Steffen is very friendly and always available to help. Fortunately I never had any emergency but I felt well taken care of.One year later it was certainly a relief to take off my braces but the result were certainly impressive!

My teeth are something I’ve always been conscious of and as a perfomer my smile is pretty important, so last year I decided to take the leap and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr Decker made me feel completely at ease, he explained all of my options very throughly and was sure he could fix my smile in 6 months with Incognito braces…and that he did! The process flew by, with visits every 3 weeks which were always a pleasure (sometimes sore but always a pleasure). I must say, as a performer I was worried about my speech and wasn’t sure whether Incognito braces would be right for me. Honestly, it was tough and a tad frustrating begin with, however after about 1-2 weeks my speech was completely back to normal. Singing and performing with the braces after this was no problem at all. To sum up my experience, it was everything I could have hoped for. From Dr Decker, the nicest dentist I’ve ever had to now having the smile I’ve always wanted. I would definitely recommend Dr Decker and Incognito braces to anyone.

Dr Mark Hughes is amazing. From the initial video consultation to my first meeting, he explained everything really simply. He was super thorough, using imagery to show me what he was seeing and also to check that it was the stuff I was concerned about. A thorough review of my dental history and x-rays meant that he gave me a treatment plan that he discussed would help me achieve my goals. Am looking forward to getting started!

Nervous patient FAQs

How does treatment for nervous patients differ from ordinary treatment?

We let you set the pace of treatment and we’ll talk with you at length about how to make your visit more pleasant. We may opt to use strategies like hand signals when you want to take a break and we can also offer no-drill dentistry and gentle sedation.

Is it OK to bring a friend with me?

Yes – if it makes you feel more comfortable. Lots of our nervous patients bring their friends along.

Is there anything else I can do to make treatment more bearable?

Whatever helps you to feel relaxed is OK by us. Some patients like to listen to music while others perform breathing exercises. It’s up to you!

Will I have treatment at my first appointment?

Not if you don’t want to. Sometimes it’s better to take a look around the facility and get used to the sights and sounds of the clinic before jumping into the chair.
