Patient Guide

Everything you would rather know beforehand

Most anxiety about dentistry comes from not knowing the sequence. This page sets out the sequence, the preparation, the aftercare and the costs.

Your first visit

Six steps, start to finish

  1. 01

    Booking & pre-visit call

    We confirm your slot and note anything urgent so the right time is set aside for you.

  2. 02

    Arrival & medical history

    Fifteen minutes earlier than your appointment to complete a short health questionnaire.

  3. 03

    Conversation first

    Before any instrument, we ask what brought you in and what outcome matters to you.

  4. 04

    Examination & imaging

    Teeth, gums, bite and joints assessed, with digital radiographs or a CBCT scan if indicated.

  5. 05

    Findings on screen

    We review your images together and explain what we see in plain language.

  6. 06

    Written plan & costs

    You leave with options, timelines and itemised costs. Nothing is booked under pressure.
