John Duthie at The Abbey by Duthie Dental

The Abbey and Duthie Dental embrace a 'Holistic' and 'Preventative' ethos.

The mouth is " a window on the body" and many oral conditions link with medical conditions.

Dentistry tends to raise anxieties in many patients and by empathising with this and all working to reduce this we can improve the general health of patients as well as their oral health.

Our hygienists and dental surgeons are develpoing their skills in treating patients using hyposis skills under the direction of Mr Duthie to ensure a fully integrated service.

Your Initial Consultation

Patients are encouraged to attend one of the free, small  group seminars to see if using therapeutic hypnosis is something which appeals to them.
If you decide you are interested, an Initial Consultation will be arranged with Mr Duthie. This will last about an hour and Mr Duthie will decide if he feels he can help you. A treatment plan and time schedule will be explained to you. The cost of this consultation and plan is £80.00 unless you are a Denplan Patient of the practice.
If Mr Duthie feels that hypnotherapy at the practice is not indicated; there will NOT be a charge for this consultation.
If he decides to refer you instead, there will be a charge for the referral and report.
