What happens
01
Welcome and history
We ask about your health, medicines and any worries. You tell us what brought you in.
02
Examination
We check teeth, gums and bite, and take X-rays only if we need them. We explain what we see as we go.
03
Your plan, in writing
Priorities, options and prices on one page, with no pressure to decide on the day.
04
Treat now or book
Small things can be treated the same visit. Larger work is booked, with a payment plan if you want one.
What to bring
- A list of any medicines you take, and any allergies
- Your previous dental records or X-rays, if you have them
- Questions and worries — write them down if that helps
- Someone to come with you, if it would make you feel easier
If you are nervous
01
Say so at the start
It changes how we work: slower, with more explanation.
02
Agree a stop signal
Raise a hand and we stop straight away.
03
Book a longer first visit
Time to talk and look around, with no treatment if you would rather not.
