Benefits

You can expect a dentist to do several things during your dental examination appointment:

Examine the health of your teeth and gums

If necessary, an X-ray of your teeth (please note this will incur an additional charge)

Treat any minor problems

The dental exam includes evaluating your risk of developing other dental problems and checking your face, neck and mouth for abnormalities.

What to do if you are in pain?

If you are in pain, let us know and we will do everything we can to arrange an emergency appointment as soon as possible for you.

The emergency procedure may vary at each practice, so please read the emergency procedure.

‍

Alternatively you can ring the NHS Emergency Helpline on 111 for further advice.

Frequently asked questions

General Questions answered here, don't hesitate to contact us about any enquiry

Do you accept new patients?

Yes! We're always happy to welcome new patients of all ages. You can book your first appointment online or by phone, and we'll have you fill out a short health history form before your visit so we can get to know you and your smile.

Does teeth whitening damage your enamel?

No, professional whitening performed or supervised by a dentist is safe and doesn't harm your enamel. Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity for a day or two, which fades on its own. We'll assess your teeth first to make sure whitening is right for you and recommend the safest option.

When should my child have their first dental visit?

We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits are short and friendly, the goal is to check development and help your child feel comfortable at the dentist, so check-ups become a normal, stress-free part of growing up.

How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up?

We recommend a check-up and professional cleaning every six months. Regular visits let us catch small issues, like early decay or gum inflammation, before they become painful or expensive to treat. If you have gum disease or other ongoing concerns, we may suggest more frequent visits.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call us right away, we reserve time for same-day emergency appointments. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist (in milk or saliva, not water) and get to us within 30–60 minutes if possible. For severe pain or swelling, don't wait it out; early treatment almost always means a simpler fix.

What happens at my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and bite, along with any necessary X-rays. We'll then walk you through what we find in plain language and create a personalized treatment plan, with costs explained upfront. No lectures, no pressure, just a clear picture of your oral health. Plan for about 45–60 minutes.
