I am in pain … what do I do?
Call the practice first thing in the morning and we will endeavour to see you the same
day.Can I have white fillings?
Yes … talk to your dentist and they will discuss the merits of all the modern
materials used in dentistry today. There is a wide choice of metallic and synthetic
materials, all of which can be discussed with your dentist.
Can I have my teeth whitened?
Yes … bleaching teeth is a very effective and safe way to brighten and lighten dark
or stained teeth. Your dentist will discuss with you the procedure and systems that we
use.
Do I have to live locally?
No. We are very happy to see you wherever you live. If you need special arrangements, for
example, longer appointment times, or a taxi service, we would be happy to arrange this
for you.
Do I need X-rays?
As a new patient we need to take X-rays (unless medically contraindicated), to show the
condition of the jaw, the sinuses, the areas between the teeth and underneath your
fillings.
We operate a special computerised X-ray unit which dispenses only 10% of the radiation
of a normal X-ray.
When can I join Denplan?
Once your initial examination (and any necessary treatment) has been completed, you can be
signed onto Denplan with immediate effect. The costs and level of cover will be discussed
in detail with your dentist. |
