Tell us a little about the patient when you get in touch.

Calm, kind and unhurried

Patients and families describe Dr. Rifat’s patience and calming presence again and again. One patient wrote that her calm nature “puts you at ease”. Another family has trusted her for 15 years.

For nervous adults

If fear has kept you away from the dentist, you are not alone. Dr. Rifat will listen, explain everything in plain language, and agree a plan with you. You stay in control: you can stop at any time.

For nervous children

During her years in hospital dentistry, paediatricians often asked Dr. Rifat for her opinion on children’s dental care, and parents praised her kindness. She still welcomes nervous children, and takes the time to build their trust.

What to expect

  1. Step 1: No surprises

    Dr. Rifat explains what she will do before she does it, and you can ask her to stop at any time.

  2. Step 2: Your pace, not ours

    The first visit can simply be a conversation. Treatment starts only when you feel ready.

  3. Step 3: Small steps

    Larger treatment can be split into short, manageable visits.
