Nervous About the Dentist? You’re Not Alone — And You’re in Safe Hands

At Guildford Dental Centre, we understand that dental anxiety is real. Whether your fear is mild or overwhelming, we’re here to help you feel calm, confident, and in control again.

We’ve supported many patients across Guildford, Farnham, Aldershot, Godalming, Woking, Shalford and Cranleigh to overcome their dental fears — and we can do the same for you.

Your Comfort Comes First

Avoiding the dentist can lead to serious dental problems over time. But taking that first step doesn’t have to be scary. Start small:

  • Drive by and see our friendly, welcoming practice
  • Pop in for a chat and a cuppa—no pressure
  • Meet the team and take a relaxed tour
  • Ask questions and get to know us at your own pace

You’re always in control. We’ll never rush you.

Help When You Need It

If you need extra support, we offer safe and effective dental sedation. It helps you feel relaxed and calm during treatment—and many patients remember very little afterwards.

Our sedation-trained team will guide and monitor you the whole way. You’ll also receive clear aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.

What to Expect

  • First visit: Just a friendly chat and a chance to look around
  • Dental health check: Quick, gentle, and pain-free—with your favourite music if you like
  • Treatment: We’ll start small and build your confidence
  • Support throughout: Your comfort is always our priority

Let’s Take That First Step Together

If you’ve been putting off seeing a dentist, give us a call on 01483 535220. We’ll listen, guide, and support you every step of the way.

You’ve got this—and we’ve got you.

As a nervous patient with a pretty intense fear of the dentist - I've been able to have 5 fillings and a root canal at GDC with Dr Kavi and Dr Chhavi. Both are so professional, kind, and patient and made sure I knew exactly what was happening and worked so well together to give me the best service and put my mind at ease. For anyone concerned or scared I would highly recommend dental sedation with Dr Kavi it made it completely achievable for me to have those treatments and totally put me at ease and actually relax at the dentist which I never thought could happen. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Very thorough cleaning by a charming dental hygienist. She is the best hygienist I have ever visited.

Very professional treatment from Dr Whittle, excellent discussion of treatment options, appropriate reminders pre-appointment by SMS. Have been a patient for several years.

Received a very efficient and friendly service.Every one at the centre puts you at your ease, which helps a lot.

I had sedation alongside my filling, because I find dental treatment very stressful and panic-making. Kavi did the sedation treatment very well, putting me at my ease and reassuring me about the process. Aradhana is an excellent dentist too, explaining clearly and in a reassuring manner what is going to be done and taking on board my anxieties. Because of the sedation I felt fine at the end of the procedure, and felt that all necessary care and attention had been paid to the preparations for, and carrying out of the dental work undertaken. An experience like this gives me confidence in the dentists, which was necessary for me, because for many years Jonathan Tan has been 'my' dentist, and I was very worried about no longer being able to have treatment from him owing to his now limited 1 day per week availability - on a day I cannot manage. Since Aradhana (and Kavi) started looking after my teeth, I now feel they are aware of my fears, and I also feel comfortable with them treating me, and that takes a load off my mind!

Friendly and competent staff, I felt I had full confidence in the ability of all staff in particular the dentist. Significantly more reasonable pricing than our previous dental practice. No post treatment issues.

1st October 2025

Pleasant people who try hard to make it easy for anxious patients like me have to deal with dental surgery. The receptionist Jackie is so professional and friendly. Reman the periodontist was excellent in describing the treatment, and Clare reassuring in her manner. The surgery is always very clean and it’s a good location.
