Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We do our best to offer appointment times that fit around school and work schedules. Tell us your preferred times when you enquire and we will look for suitable options. Early planning usually gives the greatest choice, especially for after-school or early-morning visits.
Where our diary allows, we can arrange back-to-back or nearby appointments to make your visit simple and efficient. Let us know when booking and we will try to coordinate times that work for you both, allowing enough time for questions and reassurance.
Please bring a list of medications, details of medical conditions, your GP information, and any retainers, bite guards or recent dental reports if you have them. Notes about allergies and previous treatments are helpful too, so your dentist can plan care safely and accurately.
