How to choose a cosmetic dentist

A significant part of the practice is people who have not been seen in years. Nothing about that is unusual, and nothing about it is judged.

General & family dentistry, answered honestly
Do you see children?
Yes. Children are welcome, and first visits are deliberately short and low-key — a ride in the chair and a count of the teeth is a perfectly good first appointment.
Do you offer NHS treatment?
No, the practice is entirely private. That buys longer appointments and more time to explain, but it is only fair that you know before booking.
How often should I have a check-up?
Between six and twelve months for most healthy adults, more often if you have gum disease or a high decay risk. We recommend an interval rather than applying a blanket rule.
Before you decide
Risks and alternatives
Like any dental treatment, general & family dentistry carries risks, and whether it suits you depends on a full examination. Things to weigh up can include sensitivity, the need for maintenance or replacement in future, and whether healthy tooth structure has to be altered.
Alternatives may include a less invasive option, a different treatment, or no treatment at all. Your written plan sets out the risks, alternatives and fees that apply to you before you decide.
