For people who'd rather do anything than see a dentist.
We don't blame you. About half our patients hadn't been for five years or more when they first came in. Appointments here are longer, nothing happens until you understand it, and if you raise your hand, we stop. Every time.
The chat is free, on the phone or in person, and you don't sit in the chair.
Try it with us
In for 4, hold for 4, out for 6.
How we keep it calm
None of this costs extra. It's just how we work.
Raise your hand and we stop
Not slow down. Stop. We agree the signal before we start, and we practise it once so you know it works.
Your own headphones, your own playlist
Bring them or borrow ours. Lots of people listen to a podcast and say it's the first time they've not heard the drill.
Show and tell before anything happens
We'll show you on a model, then on the screen, then tell you what you'll feel. No surprises, ever.
Longer appointments
A check-up here is 40 minutes, not 15. Most of that is talking. Nobody is waiting on you.
A quiet room
Surgery 2 faces the park and has the radio off. Ask for it when you book.
Sedation when it's right
IV sedation with Dr Owen for bigger treatments, if you want it. We'll talk it through properly first.
“I listened to two episodes of a murder podcast and when I took my headphones off, it was done.”
Rhys, who hadn't been to a dentist in eleven years
Your first visits, step by step
You go at your pace. Some people do all four in a week. Some take two months.
A chat, not a check-up
Fifteen minutes on the phone or in our garden room. Tell us what went wrong last time. We'll listen.
Meet the room
Come in, sit in the chair if you like, hold the mirror. Then go home. That's the whole visit.
A gentle look
Just looking and counting. No scraping, no needles. We tell you what we see, in plain words.
A plan you agree to
Written down, priced, and in an order you're comfortable with. You can change your mind at any point.

Principal dentist, sedation
Twenty years in practice, the last ten only with nervous patients. Will happily explain the same thing four times.
Dr Luca Bianchi

Trained in Bologna and Cardiff. Gentle hands, terrible jokes, and great at fillings you'll barely notice.

Ten years as a hygienist. Never tells anyone off about their flossing. Has opinions about electric toothbrushes.
“I cried in the car park before my first chat. Owen came out to meet me there. A year later I've had three fillings, a clean, and I've booked my daughter in.”
