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.

Nice environment professional staff

I have been going to the practice for many years. I see the hygienist and dentist every 6 months. I know them very well and feel relaxed on my visits. I seldom need anything to be done by the dentist.

Sharon is excellent

10th July 2026

I am a regular patient who is prepared to drive 150 and stay over for the expert treatment I receive from Durban. The Reception staff are professional and friendly and keep my nervousness in mind each time I arrive. I have recently received treatment for a bridge that has taken 3 visits ( that’s 900 miles, up and down from Norfolk) and your surgery is worth every penny and every minute. I trust Durban and the staff.

Jacob has a really pleasant approach. He recommended that I use little sticks between my teeth. I have never got on with these but since the appointment Have purchased and used the 'sticks' and it's going well.

4th July 2026

The Dentist that conducted the check up was very professional, the procedure was made very clear with a good debrief at the end. I was made to feel very comfortable. The Hygenist was also very good and explained a great deal about the process and results. Very happy with both

They fitted me in at short notice. They did a very good job and explained everything in great detail and were very gentle.

As acknowledged, I recorded that I am very satisfied with all aspects of the experience at the Durban dental centre, and that is why I always return there for my dental care.

I am not well at present and the kindness and consideration shown to me is always above and beyond at what is an incredibly difficult time for me. I could not be more satisfied with not not the dental care but the personal care and understanding I receive.
