Dental anxiety

Nearly half of adults feel anxious about visiting the dentist, which can lead to delaying essential treatment. At Essex Family Dental, our experienced team specialises in anxiety management and dental sedation, helping even the most nervous patients feel comfortable and supported. If you or a family member struggle with dental phobia, we offer a range of calming solutions to ensure you receive the care you need with confidence and ease.

Dental plans

A dental plan makes it easier to stay on top of your oral health, even with a busy schedule. By spreading the cost and pre-planning routine care, you can maintain healthy teeth and gums without the worry of unexpected expenses. Think of it as a personal trainer for your smile—helping keep everything in great shape year-round.

Digital diagnostics

Here at Essex Family Dental, we’ve invested in the latest digital scanning technology to achieve the most accurate dental diagnostics. With a dental scanner, an intra-oral camera and Cone Beam Computed Tomography scan (CBCT) technology all available, our dentists can take a highly accurate 3D digital impression of your teeth without the need for a physical mould and, in the same appointment, discuss any issues and plot your treatment plan.

Emergency care

If you’re in pain or need urgent treatment, we provide fast access to same-day emergency appointments. Our team offers immediate relief for dental problems—including weekends—and can provide antibiotics when needed. It’s a reliable, one-stop solution for prompt, professional care when you need it most.

Kids

Children’s oral health begins the moment their first tooth appears. We support families through every stage of dental development with guidance on teething, brushing techniques and tooth-friendly food and drink choices. Our aim is to help your child build healthy habits early and maintain a happy, confident smile as they grow.

Private care

Private dental treatment is often more affordable than expected. At Essex Family Dental, an independent check-up costs only slightly more than an NHS appointment but offers greater flexibility, longer appointment times and the option for same-day availability. It’s a convenient, premium service designed to give you faster access and personalised care without the long NHS waiting lists.

I first went here for an emergency last year and as a very nervous patient, I saw a lovely dentist who put me at ease. I've recently been able to join the dentist now and saw the same dentist, which put me at ease straight away.

I attended for a routine check up and having completed the online health check there was no waiting around on arrival. Pleasant reception staff greeted me. The dental nurse was lovely as was the dentist. All over and done with in no time which is good for me as a nervous patient!!! Would definitely recommend this practice.

I have used this dentist for years and have no complaints about them whatsoever. My latest visit was on Monday 23 June 2025 and as usual, the receptionists were lovely. I was checked by a new dentist who was also very pleasant. Can recommend this practice without hesitation.

Yesterday, my son had a dental procedure involving sedation to remove two teeth, and I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care we received. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and communicative. They made both my son and I feel comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions with patience, and showed genuine care and kindness.

I’m not so good at going to the dentist but I was made to feel very relaxed by the receptionist, dental nurse and dentist. The service was excellent. For once I won’t mind going back.

I had the treatment yesterday to prepare for a cap that will be fitted in two weeks. Everything went really smoothly — the process was efficient and comfortable, and the dentist, his assistant, and the office staff were all friendly and helpful. I was well cared for.

I saw Dr Foliades for my 6 monthly checkup. The service (appointment booking and treatment) was efficient, as always - and they still treat NHS patients. I would have no hesitation in recommending this practice to others.
