Do any of these sound familiar?
- I had a bad experience at the dentist as a child
- I don’t know what’s happening and feel out of control in the dentist’s chair
- I hate the drill or have a phobia of needles
- I’m afraid I might choke or be sick at the dentist
- I hate the noises associated with a dental surgery
- I’m scared that my treatment will hurt
As a result of any or all of these statements, you may have put off dental treatment in the past. Here at Dental Solutions, we can help you with all these barriers to treatment. Gavin Laidlaw treats very nervous patients every single day. Many previously nervous patients now actually look forward to their appointments.

In 2018, the Dental Solutions team also received a nomination for our superb treatment of nervous patients at the clinic. Our aim is to make every nervous patient feel at ease whenever they undergo treatment at our surgery. Which is why we love to receive patient feedback. We’re especially honoured to have received recognition for all of our hard work with our nomination for treatment of nervous patients.

“We are thrilled to be selected as a finalist for this prestigious national award.
To be recognised by the dental industry for all our hard work converting nervous and phobic patients into happy and confident patients is a fantastic endorsement for all the team at Dental Solutions.”

Why choose Dental Solutions?
We understand that for some people, going to the dentist can be a daunting experience that is either dreaded or avoided at all costs. Here at Dental Solutions, we provide a friendly relaxed environment, where your needs are our top priority. Our latest modern dental techniques ensure that dentistry is not painful in any way, guaranteed.
We also offer a number of additional services to put you completely at your ease during your visit:
- For orthodontic patients, Hollie Kavaney will be on-hand before, during and after your treatment to advise you on anything from treatment times to aftercare.
- We offer a consultation prior to any treatment where you can meet Gavin and his team. This is a great opportunity to discuss your smile, any fears you might have, and the different treatment options. At your first consultation, you don’t even need to sit in the dentist’s chair if you don’t want to.
- We have television screens in the ceilings of our surgeries so you can watch programmes or even listen to your own music to help ease your fears.
- In our waiting rooms, you’ll find the latest selection of magazines, chilled water and fresh fruit, so you can sit back and relax in a calming environment.
Please call 01925 756565 and speak to our reception team who will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Alternatively, you can drop us an email on [email protected]. If you’re nervous about your visit to the dentist, we do understand and will do everything we can to help you.
