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.

Charlotte did a thorough and fantastic job during my hygiene appointment. Most thorough I've ever had and would definitely recommend . Zoe was great with the suction too. Not once did I feel uncomfortable or anxious. Would definitely recommend again and we'll worth the visit.

Let's face it, who likes going to the dentist? If you've got to go though, I can strongly recommend Rowcroft. Lucy Li is my regular dentist and Elizabeth Boakes my regular hygienist. Between them, my teeth are kept as good as they can be at the tender age of 52. I pay for the monthly plan which means I make myself go every 6 months for check up and hygienist.

A wonderful dental practice. The whole team is professional, kind and helpful. I have been seeing Lucy Li for a few years now and she is a fantastic dentist. She is truly great at what she does and is so helpful and kind. She notices tiny changes and is a real safe pair of hands. She always has time for any questions and concerns you may have. Equally, hygienists Natalie, Lisa and Charlotte and their team are wizards. They all have so much knowledge and patience. My teeth brushing and flossing has improved immensely. They also take great care around any sensitivity and make you feel at ease. I also have to shout out the reception team. They are always friendly and helpful whether it is on the phone or in-person. You always feel welcome. If you are looking for a new dental practice this is a great one! Thank you very much!

They are all highly knowledgeable staff and particularly courteous and gracious. They listen to your needs and explain in detail each and every procedure. They are also understanding if you are fearful and put you as best they possibly can, at ease.
