At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, Bristol, we understand that anxiety about attending dental appointments is a very real problem for many people. As a practice, we have an ethos of doing all that we can to put you at ease from the moment you start your journey with us. That’s why we always encourage patients to speak to us about their concerns so that we can look for real solutions that are more tailored to your needs.
With that in mind, we’d like to tell you about a drug-free solution for our nervous dental patients, that we find can work very well. Hypnosis, or hypno-relaxation, needs to be understood properly in order to see the merits and the first thing to be aware of is that it’s nothing like the displays you see on the stage or television! Under responsible, professional hypnosis you will not lose control or do anything embarrassing. It is impossible to hypnotise someone against his or her will, so a patient who isn’t fully comfortable with the concept would not be a suitable candidate for this type of treatment.
The first stage of hypnosis in the dental setting is to create a mutual trust between the patient and the dentist, which is aided by a series of initial questions that help to achieve a trance-like state. Patients are often surprised by the length of time they have been hypnotised for because it feels much shorter in comparison to real time. We find that hypno-relaxation is particularly good for those who are concerned about longer treatments, while those with a fear of the dentist can also benefit as it will make healthy mouth reviews seem very quick!
Jonathan Sproson carries out hypnosis at Evolve Dentistry, he has used this technique with many patients and is qualified and experienced in this area. The huge benefit is that it is completely drug free, so it is a much more cost-effective solution to sedation techniques and also means patients can carry on with their normal daily activities much more quickly, and can even drive after their appointment!
If you’d like to discover more about hypno-relaxation and how it could benefit you, get in touch with us on 01275 842550.

Confidence can change everything - and sometimes, the smallest changes to your smile can make the biggest difference to how you feel day to day.

At Evolve Dentistry, we take the time to understand what matters to you and create natural-looking results that still feel like you.

A smile can change so much 💙
For many people, improving their oral health or feeling more confident about their smile can have a real impact on everyday life - from photographs, to social situations, to simply feeling more comfortable being themselves.
Smile Month is a reminder that dental care isn’t just about treatment - it’s about helping people feel healthier, happier and more confident too.
Whether it’s maintaining healthy teeth and gums, straightening teeth, whitening, or simply helping nervous patients feel at ease, every smile journey matters.
Thank you for trusting us with yours ✨

Brushing your teeth is important… but it’s only part of the story 🦷
In this video, Richard explains why cleaning between your teeth matters too - and the different ways you can do it, including:
✔ Floss
✔ TePe brushes
✔ Water flossers
Your toothbrush can’t always reach the tight spaces between your teeth, which means plaque and food can build up in these areas over time.
Cleaning between your teeth daily can help reduce:
✨ Gum problems
✨ Bad breath
✨ Tooth decay between teeth
Not sure which option is best for you? There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and our team can help you find what works best for your smile and lifestyle.
