New Patients

Every new patient we see starts with a new patient consultation. This gives both you and us time to assess your dental requirements and address your dental needs. We will ask you some questions about your dental and general health and give you the opportunity to explain to us any areas of your dental health that may be of concern to you.

As you would expect we will take a look inside your mouth and carry out an initial inspection of your teeth and gums. If necessary, the dentist may take more intra-oral x-rays to have a better look at your hard tissues. The results of these x-rays will be shown to you so you can understand the findings. If necessary, the dentist will discuss some treatment options with you; remember you’re not obliged to have any further treatment from us and can decide in your own time the treatment you would like to proceed with.

If it has been a while since you visited the dentist, don’t worry as you are not the first. We are more concerned with getting your dental care back on track, rather than what has happened in the past so don’t expect a lecture from us.

Finally, if you are nervous about visiting the dentist there is no need to be. The initial patient consultation is designed to give you time to get comfortable with us as a practice and the dentist you will be visiting. So relax, and let us show you how we do things differently to make you feel comfortable.
