Our People

Neil Banton

Dentist GDC Reg No. 74707 | BDS Sheffield 1998

Neil graduated from Sheffield University in 1998 and over the last 13 years has developed a “programme of care for nervous dental patients” in which he has offered care to anxious dental patients which includes over 4500 treatment episodes with conscious IV sedation. He is currently a DF1 trainer (Nottingham) and is happy to offer mentoring for both sedation and more person-centred occasions as part of the FGDP UK mentoring network. Neil is working at Bolsover peripatetically and accepts general cases under i.v and conscious sedation cases.

Neil is happy to work alongside any dentist wishing to treat the patient under sedation. The patients whom Neil helps range from the truly phobic to those who are less anxious but would benefit from sedation to help them receive what would otherwise be challenging work or surgery. We all know patients who have avoided important treatments due to anxiety. Neil aims to offer an environment where dental anxiety is never a barrier to patients receiving the care they require.
