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 Stroud, Nailsworth, Stonehouse, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Gloucestershire 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 Rowcroft Dental Centre. 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 Rowcroft Dental Centre 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 01453 750778 or 01453 764762 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.

Apart from having to physically turn up everything else is sorted, none of my time wasted, highly efficient and effective system in place.

An appointment with the hygienist isn't normally a time for pleasure, but the hygienist who treats me is a delight - she listens to any concerns and responds appropriately, she makes every effort to cause minimum discomfort or distress, she treats me like an adult and, over a period of 6 years, the state of my teeth has improved enormously thanks to her care in conjunction with that of the dentist.

They have always been very good with my treatment and putting me at my ease as dentist appointments aren't my favourite pastime

I was a bit naughty. The reception lady told me Dr House was running on time ( because i was in an awful hurry to drive to London and leave on time) so instead of waiting for the dental nurse to collect me I snuck upstairs because it was the time for my appointment. I was lucky. Dr House was there and happy to see me.It turns out a patient was late so I had managed to be seen before them.I am not sure what had happened there but I was happy that I didnt have to wait for the late patient that should have been before me.I was glad I nipped upstairs.Best.Anna Maynard Monday 4.00 appointment

All of the staff are extremely friendly, listen to any concerns that you have with your teeth and don’t rush your appointment.

I had a great experience at Rowcroft Dental in Stroud. Lucy was very attentive and took the time to clearly explain all the treatment options, which really helped me feel at ease. I was quite nervous, but everything went smoothly. Her dental nurse/assistant was also excellent. They worked very well together, and the whole experience felt very professional and reassuring

The location of the Dentist At Rowcroft is greatThe Reception area is pleasant and well maintained and often has educational information on the wallsCatherine on the Reception is always delightful and makes me feel very much at ease. I actually left my previous dental practice because of the unprofessional attitude of the Reception Staff, but At Rowcroft it’s an entirely different experience.Becky the hygienist is the main reason why I return for hygiene appointments as previously I found them scary and unpleasant but Becky works with you and is always positive in her approachDemetrious, the Dentist is professional and effective and definitely improve my dental experiences as I find it a scary Place. Because of his calm demeanour, I have opted to have more treatments than then I would’ve thought I’d be able to cope with.The dental nurses that are always warm and welcoming and put you at ease
