Supporting All Patients – Tailored Dental Care with Compassion

At Goyt Valley Dental Practice, we understand that every patient is unique. That’s why we are committed to delivering dental care that is not only clinically excellent, but also compassionate, inclusive, and fully tailored to your individual needs.

If you have a disability, health condition, or any personal challenges that could affect your dental care, we want to ensure your visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s your first time visiting us or you’re a returning patient, please don’t hesitate to let us know about any additional needs in advance. This will help us plan your appointment appropriately and ensure we provide the support you need.

We Are Here to Listen and Adapt

We treat all our patients with dignity and respect, and we take pride in creating a welcoming, supportive environment. By letting us know in advance about any specific requirements or concerns, we can prepare accordingly and ensure your experience is as smooth as possible. All information shared with us will be treated with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality.

You may wish to inform us if:

• You have serious or complex medical conditions where dental treatment may pose additional risk.

• You suffer from acute dental anxiety or have specific phobias related to treatment or the clinical environment.

• You experience mental health challenges that may impact your ability to receive dental care comfortably.

• You have mobility limitations that may affect access to the surgery or treatment chairs.

• You require a translation or interpretation service, or have communication needs that require additional time and attention.

• You live with sensory sensitivities (such as light, sound, or touch) that might make certain aspects of treatment difficult.

• You will be attending with a carer, support worker, or advocate, and would like us to involve them in your care.

• You will be accompanied by an assistance or service dog and would like us to prepare for this.

• You would benefit from extra time during your appointment or from a slower-paced consultation to ensure your comfort and understanding throughout the visit.

A Thoughtful and Flexible Approach to Care

We are always happy to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate your needs, such as:

• Booking you in at quieter times of day

• Providing a more detailed pre-visit walkthrough of what to expect

• Offering longer appointment times to reduce stress

• Providing written or visual instructions where helpful

• Adjusting the clinical environment (where possible) to suit sensory sensitivities

• Coordinating care with other healthcare providers or advocates

Your comfort and wellbeing matter to us. If there’s anything you feel would help make your visit easier—whether large or small—please reach out to our team prior to your appointment.

A Safe, Supportive Space for All

Everyone deserves access to safe, respectful dental care. We believe in working with patients as individuals, not just as cases. Whatever your circumstances, we are here to support you every step of the way.

If you have any questions or want to speak confidentially with a member of our team, we encourage you to contact us before your visit. Together, we can plan your care with confidence, kindness, and the highest standard of clinical attention.
