At the initial consultation we will ask you to fill in a detailed medical history and will talk through any concerns that you may have.

At the dental chair the dentist will perform a check-up which includes an assessment of your gums and soft tissues (Oral Cancer Screening), a detailed examination of your teeth and x-rays.

Afterwards we will review your x-rays and discuss our findings with you so we can give you all the information and treatment options available. You will then be able to ask as many questions as you like, we want you to feel in control of your treatment plan and take an informed decision.

Please note that all the treatment plans will be devised and tailored specifically for each patient.
