NEW PATIENTS
WELCOME
We are a small Independent Private Practice, this means that we are able to give our patients the time they need, every step of the way.
We are a small team and work closely together as dental professionals to offer our patients continuity of dental care across our team and specialities.
We believe that communication is paramount in achieving the best possible treatment outcomes for our patients.
We aim to give our patients the best possible treatment at a fair price, using premium materials with skilled and experienced clinicians in a welcoming , comfortable, relaxing setting and in an unhurried manner.
We are certainly not the cheapest, but neither are we the most expensive out there.
We hope you like what we do!

We have our own car park for staff and patients’ use

Before you attend your appointment
Once appointments are booked on our system you will receive an email reminder four or five days before your appointment with four forms attached for you to complete prior to attending the Practice, these include;
Patient details, Medical History, Contact consent and COVID health screening.
To log on to the Patient Portal to complete your forms you will need to put in your name and date of birth and a four digit code will then be generated and sent to your mobile ‘phone, simply enter this code and you can then complete your forms.
Once you have completed each form just save each screen and the forms will automatically be returned to the Practice for your Dentist to review prior to seeing you.
If you have any problems using the Patient Portal or you do not wish to use email or a mobile ‘phone for contact, please contact us we are happy to help you over the ‘phone or in person at the Practice on the day of your appointment, just come a little earlier.
If you have any Repeat Medication Prescriptions from your GP please bring this along with you for the Dentist to review, along with any Medical Warning cards you may have.
If you are under Medical Care or receiving treatment please bring with you or email ahead any important related information from your doctors in order to help us to care for you safely.
You will also receive an SMS text reminder 48 hours before your appointment ( to remind you of your appointment or in case you need to cancel ) the forms will also be attached to this reminder in case you have not yet completed them, if however you have, you do not need to do them again!
It is a legal requirement to update your Medical History every six months or when you have any change to report.
What happens at a New Patient Examination ?
On your first visit we spend time getting to know you and listening to any concerns you may have regarding your dental health, putting you at your ease before we start your examination.
Your Dentist will carry out a full mouth examination of your teeth and oral tissues.
At this initial examination radiographs (X-rays) are usually taken, your dentist will explain the reason for any X-rays needed, however if you have had recent X-rays elsewhere you can forward these to us for your Dentist to review prior to your appointment.
Following your examination your Dentist will discuss his findings with you and will detail any recommended treatment options in the form of a printed Treatment Plan, along with associated costs and appointments, for your consideration.
We will ask you to sign this to acknowledge that you have understood the information you have been given and any treatment your Dentist may have recommended in order to maintain your dental fitness.
Should you then wish to book any appointments we can do this for you.
You will be given a hard copy of your Treatment Plan to keep for your reference.
How do I pay ?
We ask that our patients pay as invoiced by their dentist at the end of each appointment.
We accept cash and all types of credit and debit cards including American Express, contactless and Apple Pay.
Cancellation Policy
We have a 48 hour cancellation Policy.
If you are unable to attend your appointment please give 48 hours notice, otherwise a fee may be charged.
A deposit may be required to secure your appointment at the time of booking. Should you cancel your original appointment within the 48hour notice period you can ‘roll over’ this booking fee to secure your new appointment on this occasion.
If you fail to notify us within the 48 hour notice period that you will not be attending or do not turn up to your appointment, you will lose this deposit or a charge may be placed.
If any charge placed remains unpaid you will not be able to book any appointments until this fee is paid in full.
