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 Thatcham 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 Cedar Dental Care. 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 Cedar Dental Care 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 01635 867979 for a chat and to find out how we could help you.

Abbey and the team are brilliant

14th May 2026

Front desk are always friendly, welcoming and accommodating. But the reason I would recommend Cedar is our dentist is Rav and his assistant. They are professional but also personable when I visit - but more importantly is how incredible they are with my 4 year old daughter. They have somehow managed to make a dentist visit something positive… which is now how I remember it as a child.

I have been going to Abi for many years and she looks after me so well .I am a nervous patient and I wouldn't be able to attend if it wasn't for her kindness and professionalism.

2nd May 2026

Experienced dentist that I felt I could trust to give me honest feedback and not oversell treatments. The dentist also quickly diagnosed my ongoing problem for approx 18months which my previous dentist seemed to have overlooked. The dentist restored my faith and I now feel more comfortable. Service was great although prices are on the high side, although I am happy my issue was solved and not oversold other treatments. Thankyou Anish!
