Our Process

We Welcome Children

We see children from an early age and place great emphasis on making their visits relaxed, friendly and fun. You will hear more laughing than drilling from our surgery.

You are never too old… or too young to care for your teeth. Our practice philosophy pivots on preventing dental disease whatever your age. We are delighted when you come for an examination and there is nothing to do.

Appointments to suit you
We understand it can be difficult to fit appointments into the working week and therefore we are pleased to offer early and late appointment times.

Nervous Patients

Do you dread walking through the surgery door? Have you avoided going to the dentist for a long time? Are you embarrassed about your mouth and worried what we might say? Please don’t be – you will be treated with kindness, respect and understanding.

For most of our nervous patients, it is the fear of the unknown that causes the most concern. With this in mind we discuss with you all aspects of the care you are to receive and make sure the treatment progresses at a speed that you are comfortable with. 

We will work together and find the best way forward. We will do our utmost to ensure that enough time is allowed for your care and your visit to be a calm and comfortable experience.
