I am nervous and haven’t been to the dentist in ages, what if I don’t want an examination?

We see many clients who are anxious about dental care. We will work with you to ensure that we only go as far as you are comfortable. If you want to build on the experience over a few appointments, we can do that.

What further investigations may be offered to me to help me achieve a better understanding of what is happening in my mouth?

For more complex issues we may suggest further options such as stone models of your teeth to look at your bite; a digital T-scan to look at how your jaw behaves during movement; a 3D scan to look at your jaws or full mouth photographs to show other issues which may not be obvious.

Are x-rays included in the initial consultation fee?

No this is an extra service as not only do we take the x-rays we also create written reports for each x-ray. The fee would be discussed with you prior to taking x-rays.

I had recent x-rays taken by my dentist, can I use these for my consultation?

This is best practice as this eliminates any unnecessary x-rays as well as reduces any additional x-rays.

What if I don't want x-rays because of radiation?

We use phosphor plate x-ray technology. One digital x-ray generates radiation equivalent to eating two bananas. Very safe!

Do I have to come every 6 months for a dental health check?

Your examination interval is based on your risk profile. If you find that after a few years that you are managing well and receive low scores from the hygienist then this is an option open to you.
