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 East Sussex and Crowborough 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 Durban 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 Durban 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 01892 652377 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.

I can't say I ever find dental visits easy, do any of us?! but Ahmet is excellent and I always feel in a safe and skilled pair of hands. The receptionists always friendly and welcoming too and the place is spotlessly clean.

Dr Sim has an excellent manner with patients and seems highly clinically skilled. He is also unusually gentle when giving local anaesthetic injections.

I have been a patient at Durban Dental Centre since I was 10 years old. At this point it was still an NHS practice but I remained as a patient when it became a private practice. Why? Because of the quality of care I have always received here. Dentists have come and gone but I can honestly say that every one of the dentists that have looked after my dental care for the last 40 years have been amazing. I trust them and even though I no longer live in the area, Durban Dental Centre remains my practice.

My experience as a patient of the Durban Dental Surgery has been exceptional. Ashley's competence, customer care and overall professionalism is exemplary. He is ably assisted by the dental nurse who is extraordinarily warm and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Durban Dental Surgery to my family and friends.It must also be noted that Anda the Hygienist is an amazing and experienced asset to the surgery.Thank you for attaining such high and enviable standards. Keep it up!!
