Physical Difficulties
We have created a space that’s easy to access and move around. We have four ground-floor surgeries, one of which is fully wheelchair accessible, along with disabled parking, a ground-floor disabled toilet, and baby-changing facilities. A doorbell is available at the entrance if you need a helping hand. Our waiting rooms feature firm seating in varying heights, and if you need a taxi after your visit, just ask, we are happy to help.
Hearing Impairment
We have a hearing loop available. We also make sure to speak clearly, face-on, and will remove our masks when talking. Written information is available on request so you can review things in your own time.
Impaired Vision
If you forget your glasses, we have got spares at reception. Our forms are available in bold, large print, and our team is always happy to help fill them in with you. We will guide you through your visit in a way that works best for you.
Patients With Dementia
Our entire team has dementia-awareness training. We have adapted our environment to be dementia-friendly, and our Dementia Champion, Eleanor, is available daily to support you. Wherever possible, we will ensure your care is carried out by the same dentist to help maintain a sense of continuity.
Autism
With personal insight into autism, Mr Lewis and the team work to minimise waiting, stick to consistent appointment times, and offer quieter, calmer sessions when needed. We encourage families to use Teddy’s Story as a resource before visiting.
Nervous & Phobic Patients
Whether you are mildly anxious or phobic, we will listen, support you, and offer strategies that help. Dental sedation is available for those who need it, and Neil Sampson is a Dental Phobia Certified clinician. Megan McCann also has a special interest in supporting nervous patients and is known for her calm and compassionate dental care.

Making Access Easier, in Every Way
At Ghyllmount Dental, we want to make your experience as smooth and accessible as possible. For routine check-ups, you can choose how you’d like to receive your recall reminder, via text message, email, or post. Just let our Reception team know what works best for you.
Most dental chairs are suitable for a maximum of 21 stones of weight. We have 2 dental chairs that are rated to 30 stone. If you have a need for one of those chairs please let us know on booking.
If English isn’t your first language, we can arrange interpretation support (please note this service carries a small charge). While we’re currently unable to offer additional domiciliary or home visit care due to regulatory restrictions, we’re always open to feedback and happy to help in any other way we can.
