Nervous About the Dentist? We Specialise in Anxious Patient Care
Many of our emergency patients haven’t visited a dentist in years, often because of fear or a bad experience elsewhere. Our team is experienced in caring for nervous patients and we’ll never rush, pressure, or judge you.
We take a calm, gentle approach at every appointment. From the moment you walk in, our reception team will put you at ease. Your dentist will talk you through every step, check in with how you’re feeling, and only proceed when you’re comfortable and ready.
Not Registered With Us? No Problem.
If you’re searching for a “dentist near me” in Burnopfield or County Durham, we’d love to welcome you.
You do not need to be a registered patient to receive emergency dental treatment at Gibside Dental. We accept walk-ins and new patients for emergency appointments whenever we can.
If you’d like to become a regular patient after your emergency, you’re more than welcome but there is absolutely no obligation. Your immediate care comes first.
