How often should I see the dentist?

You should aim to see your dentist for a check-up twice a year. However, you may not need to see us every six months and your dentist will let you know when you need to come back for your next check-up. If you have any problems between check-ups please phone or email us to arrange an earlier appointment.

Does a dental check-up hurt?

A dental check-up shouldn’t hurt. During your visit, we carefully check your teeth and gums for signs of decay or infection, using small and sterile tools. You may feel some discomfort if we need to scrape one of your teeth or use suction, but this is short-lived.

Do you offer emergency appointments?

Yes, we endeavour to see our registered patients as quickly as possible and offer same-day emergency appointments. Please call us on 01823 661555 if you need urgent dental treatment.

Why do I need to see a dentist?

Prevention is always better than cure, particularly when it comes to dentistry. Regular dental check-up appointments give us the chance to fully assess your mouth, including the soft tissues of the head and neck, teeth and gums, spotting and treating any problems before they get worse or become more serious!

At our evidence-based practice, we ensure you receive the gold standard of care and a full, unrestricted range of options to suit your needs. We are approachable, and keen for you to ask questions as we guide you to make the right decision for you.

What happens during my visit?

Our dedicated practice team, including highly skilled dentists, hygienists and nurses alongside our friendly and welcoming receptionists, are here to guide you through your journey with us. We work closely together to achieve the best outcome in every case, with perfectly tailored treatment plans and convenient appointment times.

During your regular check-up appointments, we examine your mouth, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, infection, or bite issues. We also carry out a mouth cancer screen as standard and share tips and advice on brushing, diet and lifestyle.

Your appointments are always booked with enough time to ensure thorough and comfortable treatment, and we welcome you to share your concerns or smile goals with us. We’re here to help you achieve the healthy and beautiful smile you deserve.
