Our Practice has been here since the Whitgift Shopping Centre opened in 1970. It was established by Mr Norman Goldberg and taken over by the present owner Shahin Lalani in 1998. She had worked at the practice since 1994; she loved it so much she bought the company! Whether you are a new or an existing patient, we would like to thank you for choosing our practice. We pride ourselves in giving you t

he highest quality treatment in an atmosphere that is friendly, supportive and relaxed. You will be greeted by a friendly team of professionals that will take an interest in you and treat you as an individual. Our team has been trained to a high standard and we regularly attend continuing education courses and workshops to refresh and further our skills, ensuring we can deliver the very latest techniques. While you are in our care we will show you just how important your oral health is in relation to your general health. We look forward to not only helping you have the best smile and freshest breath but also excellent long term health. This comes down to our longstanding, caring, professional team!

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy at Whitgift Dental

We are delighted to offer Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) with Desiree, specifically designed to help patients manage dental and needle phobias.

What is SFH?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, evidence-based approach that combines talking therapy with relaxation techniques to help calm the mind and reframe negative thought patterns.

Rather than dwelling on the past, we focus on your strengths and build a positive path forward.

How it Helps
Results: For many, dental or needle phobias can be eased in as little as four sessions.

Gentle Approach: For more complex phobias, we may begin by reducing general stress and anxiety first, making the process as gentle and effective as possible.

Beyond the Dentist: Desiree also supports patients with other phobias, including:

Flying

Spiders or Heights

Public Speaking

Let’s make your dental visits calmer, more comfortable, and completely stress-free.
