New Patients

New Patients

Your first visit as a new patient usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes and includes:

• Oral Cancer Screening
• Gum Condition Charting - tooth support
• Full dental examination
• Extra and intra oral photographs and radiographs.(x-rays only if necessary)
• Discussing your concerns about your dental health

Following your dental exam and resulting X-rays/oral photographs, we then jointly decide on the best way to tackle your immediate dental problems and what approach we'll follow to look after you in the long term.

Often a second follow up visit (at no further charge) is required to fully discuss the bespoke treatment plan and possible costs involved before your treatment begins.

Nervous and Anxious Patients. Our team takes great pride in our gentle, caring and friendly manner. We invite you to visit Southwoods Dental and meet the team, where we sincerely hope that you too will experience our approach as compassionate and welcoming.

Children

We welcome children from the earliest possible age to encourage good oral hygiene and a healthy diet. A friendly, warm welcome early on helps children feel at ease about coming to the dentist as they grow up.
