Nervous Dental Patients in East Dulwich

Comfortable distraction with our VR1 experience from Meta Quest 3.

Dental anxiety ranges from mild uneasiness (experienced by many of us), to acute anxiety/panic attacks. The particular fears of visiting the dentist vary from person to person.

Here at Aesthetic Dental Zone, we understand  you may feel nervous about your visit and we are here to help you feel as comfortable as possible. We offer a VR1  service which contains a range of movies, 30 minute experiences and access to YouTube if you would prefer to watch a TV programme.

Following your initial assessment, speak to one of our friendly receptionists who can arrange your experience upon request.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Is treatment really pain-free?
We use topical numbing gel before any injection, slow gentle anaesthetic delivery and modern techniques so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Nervous patients can wear our Meta Quest 3 VR headset during treatment to relax.
How much does a new patient appointment cost?
A new patient examination is £80, children £37 (X-rays charged separately if needed). You receive a written treatment plan with costs before any treatment starts. Our full fee list is on the Prices page.
Where is Aesthetic Dental Zone and which areas do you cover?
We are at 2 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, London SE22 8HN – 8 minutes from London Bridge by train and a short trip from Dulwich Village, North and West Dulwich, Herne Hill, Peckham, Nunhead, Camberwell, Forest Hill and Honor Oak.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Call us on 020 8299 1434. We offer same-day emergency appointments for severe toothache, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost crowns and swelling, six days a week.
I am nervous about the dentist – can you help?
Yes. We have looked after nervous patients on Lordship Lane for 25 years. Treatment is gentle and pain-free, we explain every step, and you can wear a VR headset during treatment to relax.
Do you offer same-day crowns and veneers?
Yes. Our in-house CEREC system scans your tooth digitally and mills an Emax or ceramic crown, veneer, inlay or onlay while you wait – no impressions, no temporaries and no second visit.
