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.

Dr Steffen Decker – AMAZING ORTHO / CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!! THANK YOU DR. DECKER!!I cannot recommend enough entrusting your smile in the hands of Dr Steffen Decker. I cannot thank Dr Decker enough for the amazing smile that I now have that came at a much more expedited timeframe vs what we’ve initially discussed.I have suffered from overcrowded mouth with a heavy overbite ever since I was a kid and had to remove 4 baby teeth at the age of 8-9 years old to try and help the permanent teeth fit in. I have constantly worn retainers since early childhood till about the age of 11 years old. By the age of 25 my overcrowding situation in the mouth has gotten even worse and the overbite has become more pronounced. Wisdom teeth continued to push my front teeth on of top of the other with a few teeth almost covering and overriding the nearby tooth. At that point I was determined to take action and finally invest into straightening the teeth. I have taken over a year to visit various leading dentists and orthodontists in London and New York that offer various methods starting from invisalign to traditional braces and then into lingual braces.Dr Steffen Decker’s plan of treatment has been one of the most conservative in terms of timing initially guiding me to 18mths+ with incognito braces which in the end turned out less than a year and results have been much more impressive than the original conservative forecast Dr Decker indicated. From the minute of the initial consultation to the finish-line of the process Dr Decker has been extremely professional, attentive, and extremely thorough in his work. He has ensured that I almost didn’t feel that I was living with incognito braces in my mouth yet I was able to track tremendous progress on weekly basis. I am terrified of dental pain and Dr Decker ensured to explain every single move he would undertake with my incognito system through the course of treatment and help every step of the way! After the initial 3-5 weeks of wearing incognito braces I have gotten so used to them that at times I forgot that I was even wearing them and surely people around me could not even tell! What they could tell was the amazing result and complete transformation Dr Decker has achieved with my smile at the end of the process! I am so happy with my teeth – I have never imagined they can look so perfect and straight!In our day and age there are various orthodontists and even dentists offering various types of ‘smile fixer’ tools, however in the end it really comes down to the person’s hands that is navigating these systems and the treatment process. I have to say Dr Decker’s hands are brilliant! It is also very important to note that at various clinics while you have a dentist or an orthodontist install your initial ‘treatment’ system onto your teeth – all the follow up appointments to progress the treatment are undertaken by an assistant rather. Dr Decker is extremely hands on and every single appointment has been lead by him with the assistant supporting him rather than the other way around (which I understand is rather a common practice having the assistant navigate ‘progress appointments’ under supervision of the treating orthodontist/dentist).I also deliberately mention ‘dentist’ as numerous teeth straightening treatment plans are offered by dentists who simply use such as a ‘kit in the box’ rather than provide additional orthogonal expertise.Dr Decker is an amazing orthodontist and is extremely passionate about what he does and has a perfectionist approach when it comes to results. I cannot recommend him enough!Thank you Dr Steffen!

Dr. Aneka Khaira was my dentist during a treatment that included Invisalign, whitening (zoom) and bonding. I also had the best hygienist appointments of my life. Yes, it’s expensive but the results speak louder than words. I strongly recommend this amazing team of professionals. Your teeth will look much better, if that is what you are looking for. What I could never have imagined was the life changing process that it would represent in terms of dental health and overall health. I am normally scared of going to the dentist, I get nervous I must admit. It took me a while to make the decision to go for it. Now, I can say it was the right thing to do. I am very grateful to the whole team. Honest, highly professional team. Well organised and extremely understanding of the needs of any patient. I feel reassured when I visit them for an appointment. I wish all medical professionals were as good as them. Again, Thank you for listening, for exceeding my expectations and for being so skilled and efficient when working on my teeth. Dr. Aneka is one in a million.

After having consultations with a number of different orthodontists, i decided to go ahead with incognito braces with Dr Decker and i honestly could not be happier with the results. I had previously been told that it could take up to 18 months to achieve my desired results, but Dr Decker has given me perfect teeth in just 3 months! He made the whole process extremely easy and comfortable for me and always went above and beyond to ensure my desired results were achieved. I really cannot recommend Dr Decker & the Harley Street Dental Studio more highly.

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.
