Patient Information

 

 

What will happen at my first appointment?

 

We aim to make you as comfortable as possible. A typical first appointment includes an examination of the teeth and x-rays where required. We will discuss any issues that we may identify and together we will decide upon what treatment will be done. We will then provide a full quote and an outline of what we will be completed at any future appointments. Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment to complete our new patient form. Alternatively we can email you a link to complete your information online.

​

There's no need to be embarrassed.

​

Whether you haven't been due to apprehension about pain, cost or embarrassment over what we might find, we understand and we don't judge. We aim to get your oral health back on track and then support you to maintain good oral health with regular check-ups. 

​

For those who are unable to attend the clinic due to severely restricted mobility a limited home visiting service may be available upon enquiry. We have full disabled access. 

​

​

We are an accredited dental practice.

​

Accreditation is an internationally recognised evaluation process which assesses the quality of care and services provided. It confirms our compliance with the National Safety and Quality in Health Service Standards and provides quality and performance assurance for patients.
