Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We regularly see patients who have been away from dental care. Your first visit focuses on understanding your concerns, a gentle assessment and sensible next steps. We will prioritise what matters most to you and agree a plan at a pace that feels comfortable.
If a filling comes out, keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side and contact us as soon as you can. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may help protect the tooth for a short time. We will advise the next safe step and arrange an appointment.
It is simple. With your consent we can request your records from your previous dentist on your behalf, or you can ask them to send copies directly to us. If records are not available, we will complete a thorough assessment at your first appointment.
We offer a range of appointment times and keep visits well organised. Let us know your scheduling preferences when you enquire and we will do our best to find a time that suits, then provide reminders so your visit is as easy to plan as possible.
We will discuss all recommended treatment and related fees before we begin, so you can make informed choices. Written estimates are provided, and we can explain options for routine care through our dental plans if appropriate. You will always know what to expect.
If your assessment suggests that advanced or specialist care would be helpful, we will explain why, outline the likely benefits and limitations, and coordinate a trusted referral if appropriate. Your general dental care remains with us and we keep you informed throughout.
