We would like to make your first visit to the practice as pleasurable as possible. You will be greeted by one of our reception team who will ask you if you have completed the medical history form via the email portal link sent to you prior to your appointment. If the form has not been completed you will be able to complete this form at the practice before your appointment. If you have any problems filling in your forms, we will give you all the help you need. Please bring a list of any medications that you are currently taking.
We will invite you to sit in our comfortable waiting room. This area has been created for your pleasure and convenience.
Our dentist will then invite you into the surgery to have a chat about your personal dental needs and concerns. Our philosophy is to ensure that all patients are fully informed about the treatment options available and understand the procedures involved, giving you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like.
Your dental examination will include the following aspects:
- Examination of each tooth for signs of dental disease such as tooth decay or gum disease.
- Mouth cancer screen.
- Any relevant small x-rays that may be needed to aid in complete diagnosis.
- Discussion of findings and the treatment options available. This will include viewing of the relevant x-rays. At that time an estimate of treatment costs will be discussed along with payment options and an idea of treatment timescales.
- A written treatment plan estimate will be provided.
- Our receptionists will then assist with arranging your next appointment at your convenience.
It's as easy as that!
If the treatment is of a complex nature, it may be necessary to organise a subsequent appointment to discuss the findings and potential treatment options.
Please note our practice policy on the provison of dental treatment.
