We hope that your first visit with us is for a New Patient Assessment but if it’s as an Emergency or with a problem that needs fixing that’s no problem at all.
We appreciate how vulnerable patients often feel while lying back on the dental chair. All members of our team are friendly and down to earth. There is no judgement involved during a dental assessment. We just say what we see and then make recommendations.

Any treatment required will be less complex and ulitimately less expensive. Your teeth will be in better condition. Regular dental examinations are a no-brainer!
