Contact us today to book your first appointment—we look forward to meeting you!

Nervous patients

Whatever your negative dental experiences, with our help you can leave your fears where they belong: in the past. With refined care and expertise we’ve been helping patients throughout Hanley, Tunstall, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent manage their fear of the dentist for many years - we can do it for you too.

It’s important that you look after your oral health. Your lifestyle, psychological well-being and dental health depend on it. If you continue to avoid the dentist, this can lead to severe, perhaps irreversible, damage.

So, take the first step. Work with us. Tell us everything. In detail. We understand the panic. The sweaty palms. The rumbling tum. The unsteady legs. The tears. We also know how to ease these symptoms. As your confidence grows, they will disappear for good.

No pressure—you are in control

What does and doesn’t happen is up to you. You do not have to do anything out of your comfort zone.

Why not start with driving by Newcastle Dental Practice. You don’t have to do any more than this for starters. We have a beautiful practice with a calm, friendly, family vibe, which you will discover if you come in and say hello. Why not bring a friend or a family member?

We are happy to chat

This is your chance to tell us why the dentist gives you the heebie-jeebies—we will understand. Sit down and have a cuppa or two on the house.

Our staff are happy to discuss your concerns. We are trained, qualified and experienced in dental phobias. If this is enough, leave and have a think.

Meet the team—tour the premises

If you are ready for the next step, you can meet the Newcastle Dental Practice team. All of us. Putting faces to names can help to break down barriers. As does understanding our systems and processes, our treatments and technology.

You get to know us. We get to know you. Have a guided tour of the building. Ask as many questions as you like.

Choose your dentist

Getting to know you means we get to play matchmaker. Partnering you with the dentist we feel is the most sympathetic to your personality and individual requirements. But, if you have a preference, we are happy to oblige!

Your first dental health assessment

Comfy chair, feet up, music in the background. We are happy to tailor the tunes to your taste. Or you can bring your own music and headphones and zone out to your favourites while we check your dental health. It doesn’t take long and is painless. We can stop at any time if you need a break.

Your first dental treatment

This can be as simple and pain-free as polishing your teeth or a sealant filling. You won’t feel a thing and will walk tall when we’ve finished. And don’t forget the music!

If you need a course of treatments, we plan these close together. This means you don’t have the time to fret and undo all the good work that has got you this far. Take the first step today…why not give us a call on 01782 616178 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.

The dentist and dental nurse are aware of my high level of anxiety. There consideration and treating me with patience as an individual enables me to attend appointments, for which I am very grateful. They have earned my trust

I am 60 years old this year and it is the first time in my life that I have liked my smile.Manoj has made this possible.I was a nervous patient when I first met him, but he put me at ease with his kind, thoughtful and professional manner.His dental work is of the highest standard and I cannot recommend him enough.I have had crowns, veneers and an implant, all my amalgam fillings removed and a whitening programme, so a significant amount of work carried out. The staff at the practice are really friendly and welcoming at all times.

I cannot recommend this practice enough. Both my wife and I use this practice as our routine dentist and the staff from the front desk through to the dentists, hygienists and high level consultants are all remarkably friendly and super professional. Recently, they undertook some very complex and successful surgery on my wife which other practices had shied away from and we cannot praise them enough. A massive thank you to all at Newcastle Dental Practice from Steve and Ros.

Claire knows I feel stressed having to attend but is great as breaking up the procedure and trying to help me relax

Claire Perry listens to all my concerns & is very thorough. She suggested that I see Emily to check the red mass at the back of my tongue that had been worrying me, without raising my concerns further. Emily saw me within 24 hours, checked my tongue, discussed worries I have had due to medication side effects, reassured me about the health of my tongue and encouraged me to visit whenever I have other concerns about my oral health. First class treatment from both Claire & Emily. Thank you.

Fast appointment made on the same day. Thougough check from dentist who knew history and advised next steps should pain continue. Advice on which pharmacy to collect prescription from the receptionists.

2nd August 2025

All the staff are lovely and welcoming. I’ve always hated the dentist and had a real fear meaning I’ve not been for years. But all the staff have put me at ease since I walked in months ago and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

2nd August 2025

I was extremely n pleased with both the Clinician and the Hygenist. Both are known to me as I followed them from my previous Practice. They are both excellent!

Lovely friendly staff

23rd July 2025

I am a very nervous and frightened patient. The procedure I had today was long an unpleasant for me. However the support I received from Marcus, Molly and also the receptionist was fabulous. It could have turned out to be a lot more traumatic for me if it wasn't for the compassionate and skilled team. Thank you for doing everything you could to put me at ease! I would very much recommend this practise for anyone who is nervous or fearful.

The clarity of information given, quality of service and friendliness of staff.
