Starts a visit by asking what the last one was like and what to change.
About the practice
A small practice, set up for slower visits
Many people avoid the dentist because of the bright lamp, the noise, a hand near the face or not knowing what comes next. Hawley Street Dental has two dentists, long appointments and a short list of things we change on request. The visit is the thing we work on.
What we changed in the office
Light
A lamp aimed away from your face, soft overhead light and a window in every treatment room.
Sound
No radio and no announcements. Handpieces are shown and named before they run, and headphones are on the shelf.
Time
Longer appointments with a gap after, so nobody is hurried out or kept waiting.
Space
Rooms with a door that closes, a quiet corner in the front room and a seat for a caregiver.
Who you'll see
Both see adults and children. You can ask for either one, and we aim to put you with the same dentist each time.
Explains each step before it happens and shows each tool first.
