Getting started
How treatment is decided
Whichever treatment you are considering, it begins the same way. An assessment first, then a plan you can read before anything starts.
-
Assessment
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and mouth and reviews your medical history. X-rays may be recommended where clinically necessary.
-
What we find
Your dentist explains what has been found and which treatments are suitable, in language you can understand. You can ask as many questions as you need.
-
A written plan
If treatment is recommended, you receive a written treatment plan or estimate setting out what is proposed and the expected cost, before anything begins.
-
You decide
Nothing goes ahead until you agree to it. There is no obligation to accept the treatment that is proposed.
We welcome private patients and provide NHS dental care subject to current availability and practice capacity. Ask reception for the current position when you book. See our fees and payment plans.
