Our commitment to exceptional patient care goes beyond merely treating dental issues; it encompasses creating a tranquil space where your comfort is prioritised.

It is completely understandable that some people are scared of seeing the dentist. We appreciate that dental phobia is something that affects a lot of people. Fear can manifest itself differently for each individual. Some of you may just feel anxious at the thought of having dental treatment, whilst others are scared of injections in the mouth, the sound of the drill, or even the smell of a dental practice.

Fear of the dentist is nothing to be ashamed of. You may have had a bad experience in the past, or may be worried or embarrassed because you haven’t been for a while, and know that you need some work doing. We are not here to judge you in any way, we are only here to help you, taking the stress and worry out of seeing the dentist.

If you would like to know more about our Dentistry for Nervous Patients, please call us today or complete the form below for a Complimentary Consultation.

Don’t worry if you are not comfortable coming to the practice yet, we can arrange for one of our Smile Advisors to meet you at a local coffee shop, where you can relax with a hot drink and discuss your concerns in a hassle free, calm environment.

I first booked a consultation with Leigh to speak about my options as I was looking to close the gap in my front two teeth. Leigh was very friendly and knowledgeable about my options and we spoke about what would work best for me.After going ahead with the treatment I was passed onto dentist Dr Lee McMenamin for a couple of appointments before my treatment. Lee was also very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough with his work. We spoke through the process and what each session entailed building up to the treatment.When I had the treatment done last week, it was in deed pain free. I was very relaxed as they had soft music on and I could have fell asleep. I am over the moon with the results and would recommend the process to anyone looking for composite bonding.Thank you again to Leigh, Lee and all the team at Dentistry @ No.3 🙂

From initial meeting to discuss different treatment options I was made to feel at ease and welcomed by friendly and professional staff. Once my decision was made and in consultation with Ali who explained fully all the steps involved. I have now started my treatment plan. My journey from having teeth removed and a temporary plate fitted has all been pain free with excellent aftercare. I would highly recommend Dentistry at No3 to anyone considering implants or other dental work.

I’ve been ok with dentists and needles but there is something about getting work done that I get really anxious about. I had a filling on the NHS which chipped after 2 weeks. I saw Fraser for an appointment on the Monday who took the time to talk me through all my options and show me what was going on. 3 days later and I’m being seen (after I finished work for the day) by the excellent Natalie for a clean and to have it repaired (compared to the 2 months from identifying I needed the filling to having it done on the NHS). I was very nervous about the repair but she has a lovely calm demeanour which puts you at ease. She took her time, and it never felt like she was stressed or rushed, and she was happy to answer my questions after about taking care of her handiwork and how long the repair will last. She took her time with the anaesthetic and I felt far more numb (and so I was confident I was numb) than on the NHS. Even her assistant checked in if I was ok. The drill was also so much quieter than what I’d been used to on the NHS, and I didn’t realise how much that sound had put me on edge.I love the NHS so wasn’t sure about going private, but the whole experience felt so different. I usually come away from a filling feeling tense and ashamed. I realised I’d started to relax before Natalie had finished her work, and I left feeling that next time I need work done I don’t need to spend the afternoon worrying about it.

Dentistry @No 3,are amazing from the first minute I walked in the door it was a completely different experience, I met Leigh and she was so down to earth it made me feel totally at ease, then even before I met the amazing Ali there were more lovely receptionists ,nurses and hygienists..Ali made my whole experience totally pain free,I'd lost my faith in other dentists that's why I was so scared. I've never liked my teeth but now I can smile again, I would 100 percent recommend Dentistry @No 3 to anyone and have been telling everyone about them..

I am delighted with the results of my new full upper arch implants done by Ali. From start to finish, the care was exceptional and genuinely pain free. The procedure was done carefully, at a pace I was comfortable with and offering reassurance throughout the procedure. Leigh waa always on hand to contact in between appointments before and after the surgery to offer reassurance or respond to my questions. My new teeth feel natural and look amazing. Thank you to the whole team.

I can’t thank Dentistry @ No.3 and Dr. Eunho Kim enough.My mum visited here after it was recommended to her, following a really awful experience at her previous dentist. She was nervous about going private at first, but once she had her appointment she couldn’t stop raving about it.she was reassured constantly by her dentist, always being asked if she was happy and nothing was too much.she was told she could come back at any point if something wasn’t right.Now, she’s over the moon with the results, she feels like her self again and we feel like we have our mum back.she smiles with so much confidence after being left in such a terrible state from the last place.would highly recommend this dentist to anyone.

I am Very happy with Ali and all the staff first class professionals.Well today is the big day, I get my implants fitted. We hat a trial 2 weeks ago and everything was looking good.Ali asked me my opinion with the colour of the denture and matched me with a few to let me see.

I was SO nervous to get my few bottom teeth out, that's why I waited so long. But Ali and the team assured me all would be good, and they were not wrong.I have my top and bottom teeth done and I'm so so happy with the results. I can't thank all the team/staff enough they are all a credit to each other.The timeliness from the first day I met Lee for my consultation ho was brilliant made me feel at ease, until my final day with Ali was roughly 8/9 months. it went by quickly and defenetly no pain, lots of care and attention.To Ali the Staff and the Team many many thanksThis concludes my journey I hope it helps.Best wishes to you all.Stanley.

What a wonderful experience at Dentristy @No3! After an initial consultation with Rebecca, who listened to my concerns and gave really positive and informative advice - I've had beautiful composite bonding to restore my confidence, and am still going through the 'dental implant' process with Ali. I feel listened to, and valued as a person, not just as a patient. And yes, it really is 'pain free'!

I cannot recommend this practice enough, from my first appointment with Leigh, the receptionists, nurses & of course Ali, each & every one of them made a very nervous, anxious patient so at ease & full of confidence. I decided to go for full mouth dental implants. It was a very long process & I believe I was the most complex patient Ali had ever come across but he never ever gave up on me for which I will always be truly grateful for. I am over the moon with my new teeth & can now smile & eat properly again thanks to Ali. This practice is "Simply The Best" 👌Jane Johnston.

From my initial conversation with Leigh it was clear that I was in good hands. After a few strange encounters with dentists one resulting in me biting a dentist and the other in an unexpected hospital visit I was naturally nervous. Meeting Rebecca immediately put me at ease with her calming Irish tones. Rebecca took the time to ensure she explained what was happening, reassuring me and checking in during the process all of which helped me start to enjoy my visit to the dentist. I couldn’t recommend them more and for once in my life, I’m exceptionally happy with my smile!

I would highly recommend Dentistry No. 3 for teeth alignment, from the very first consultation through to completion of my treatment programme, the professional and friendly approach has been first class. Along with much needed composite fillings, I can honestly say it has all been pain free. Rebecca and the team have been brilliant. Keep up the good work.

I have had massive problems with my teeth for many years. Recurrent infections, including progression into a sinus cavity, had numerous teeth out, constant anxiety about my teeth breaking/crumbling & a LOT of trauma from some really awful dental experiences.Anyway from the first meeting with Leigh, to my initial appointment with Ali a plan was made. I can honestly say Ali has cured my fear of dentists, he has such a positive & calming manner. I had to have sedation previously at the dentist however with Ali i’ve had a tooth extraction, bone grafting, fillings, crowns and dental implants & it’s been absolutely no problem at all. He really understood that I liked to be talked through a treatment, (in a lot of very graphic detail at times) & was very patient with this.I’m nearly at the end of the journey (for now) & have so much more confidence, I can eat properly, smile properly & have no more pain.Thanks so much to Ali & the team at Dentistry No3, I would recommend them to anyone, particularly if you are nervous or need a lot of work done. It’s been a great experience from start to finish.Louise M
