FAQs

Common questions before booking.

Yes. Mention this when you enquire and the team can allow extra time for explanation, pauses and reassurance. The dentist can agree a stop signal, explain each stage before starting and avoid rushing the appointment.

Yes. New patient appointments can be requested online. A first visit usually includes your dental history, a clinical examination, gum checks, oral cancer screening and a discussion about any treatment options or prevention advice.

Call the practice if you have severe pain, swelling, trauma, bleeding or signs of infection. For less urgent symptoms, use the booking form and describe when the pain started, what triggers it and whether a tooth, filling or crown has broken.

Yes. Hygiene appointments support gum health, stain control and long-term maintenance. Advice is tailored to your mouth, including brushing, interdental cleaning, bleeding gums and prevention routines that are realistic to keep up.

Yes. Cosmetic enquiries begin with an assessment so the dentist can check oral health and suitability. You should receive realistic advice on whitening, bonding, maintenance, limitations and whether treatment is clinically sensible.

For planned treatment, you should be given clear options and likely fees before work begins. Some urgent appointments may need assessment first, but the next steps and costs should still be explained before treatment continues.

Yes. Family appointments can be requested. Children’s visits focus on prevention, confidence and simple explanations so dental care feels routine rather than intimidating.

Choose a preferred date, appointment type and either a specific time window or the flexible option. The form sends a request rather than a confirmed appointment, so reception can reply with the closest available slot.
