What to Expect

The dentist will perform a complete oral examination and discuss any treatment you may need. The examination can identify conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and even oral cancer.

Teeth cleaning may be performed during your first visit, or might be scheduled for a follow-up visit depending on the condition of your teeth and gums.
Your first appointment will take around fifteen minutes. Patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

 

NHS Information

We are currently accepting new patients. To register simply call our reception team during working hours on 01224 722662, or leave your name and number on the answering machine and somebody will call you back as soon as possible. For larger groups or families, please visit the surgery where we can fill out all of the correct forms and make your first appointments for you.

Existing patients

As an NHS patient you are entitled to two free exams per year. To book an appointment, pop in or call reception. We may send you a recall letter if your appointment is overdue as it is recommended you attend regularly.

Please be aware that we require 24 hours notice if you wish to cancel an appointment. Late cancellation or missed appointments may incur a charge of £1 per minute.

Treatment

The NHS provides all the treatment necessary to secure and maintain your oral health. There are some treatments (mainly cosmetic) that are not normally available under the NHS, and you may choose to have these provided privately. You may also choose to have some treatment provided privately as an alternative to NHS treatment. The dentist will discuss these options with you so that you can make an informed choice. The private treatment price lists are also visible throughout the practice.
