Cost of Treatment

All patients who are treated privately will be given an estimate on their first appointment that will give them a good idea of the eventual costs. Of course once x-rays have been checked and treatment started, it may be necessary to change the treatment plan. Should this be necessary, you will be informed of any new fees likely to be charged.

Emergency Arrangements

Patients registered at the Practice who are in pain will be seen straight away whenever possible during the normal working week.

Please telephone as early as possible in the day should you require an emergency appointment. Please do not ask for an emergency unless you really need one as most minor problems, such as a lost filling, can usually wait a couple of days without complications arising.

hone will give details of the out of hours emergency arrangements. We participate in an emergency rota of local dentists, which may mean patients will be seen by another dentist
