Nervous Patient Care Harley Street, London W1
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 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!

Could not recommend a better dentist weather it is a regular hygiene visit or for cosmetic purposes. I had a complete smile transformation with Harley street; Dr Aneka who dealt with my case super professionally but made me feel comfortable throughout the 3 years of my treatment was amazing. Travelling from Birmingham to London for these appointments but the quality of service and results was well worth it. The communication from my treatment coordinator Sangita was aways rapid with her responses when I had to reschedule. If you are unsure which dentist to choose for your transformation I would recommend Harley street as I have tested other ones all around the country. My before & afters speak for themselves!

I cannot recommend Dr Ghezel enough!!!!! There is no end to this mans talents and he has hand crafted my perfect smile with total professionalism, passion and precision.A big thing for me was finding a cosmetic dentist that had the knowledge of bonding, a relatively new procedure, and masses of experience in carrying it out and wouldn’t just recommend veneers because they cost more. Dr Ghezel listens to your wants, works with you for a solution and my entire procedure was pain free, quick and seamless from start to finish.The above, matched with Dr Ghezel’s incredible energy and personalism, makes him the best in the business and not only have I walked away with the smile I used to dream about but I have also walked away with confidence I never knew I had… all thanks to this man and his dentistry skills.His knowledge, experience, skill and personality cannot be rivaled and if you are considering any cosmetic dentistry in the future, he is absolutely the guy you need to be speaking with.

I had laser teeth whitening treatment here as my friend recommended after having it here and I thought his teeth looked great. Its not the cheapest place but the level of service and the skills the dentists have made me feel safe and in reliable hands. My teeth look better than ever and it was a very fast effective service.

Dr Mark Hughes and his team are so professional and friendly. I cannot praise his professionalism enough and all he and his team have done to make me feel comfortable whether it’s a consultation or treatment itself. I was a very anxious and nervous patient, however Dr Hughes and the team by the time I was leaving the surgery had me questioning why I was nervous in the first place! Cannot recommend himself and the team at 52 Harley Street enough!

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.
