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 Ryan inspires confidence with his calming and kindly presence together with his fine aesthetic sensibilities. He has restored my confidence in cosmetic dentistry after correcting problems caused by previous dental work. I can now express myself with a big smile.

I am over the moon with my porcelain veneers. Dr Justin Glaister provided an excellent customer service and the veneers, which were made by a specialist in New York, were delivered on time and look great! Also, as a night-time teeth grinder, Justin was able to make adjustments to my teeth to ensure that no further damage would be made to my dentine. Overall, highly recommended!

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 have the teeth of Geena Davis as Thelma, which I wanted (although I never told them this). Ended up perfectly. Have to do a lot to comply and get the teeth you want via Invisalign, but it’s the same anywhere and I wouldn’t change it. They look great

Excellent service all the way from the first day of my treatment. Dr Peter and his team have been great to deal with and have fully support me all the way through. I had an invisalign treatment done with them and I was extremely pleased with the results. Best thing is they actually take appointment times seriously and always try to run on time, unlike most clinics in the area. Prices were also a great surprise considering the location and treatment!

Dr Moran was great, patient and thorough, I have had no pain or swelling. He took the time to explain every aspect before and during the procedure (root canal) and although this was more expensive than other places I went with the practice I was most confident about in the end.

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.
