FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should I visit the dentist?
The recommended frequency of dental visits can vary based on your individual oral health, lifestyle, and risk factors. Some people benefit from six-monthly check-ups, while others may require a different schedule. Here are some common considerations that may influence your recall interval:
- General oral health history:
If you have a low risk of dental problems and maintain good oral hygiene, check-ups may be recommended every 6–12 months. This helps monitor any changes over time. - Gum health:
If you’ve had gum disease or inflammation, you may be advised to visit more frequently. Regular reviews can assist in maintaining gum stability and identifying early signs of concern. - Tooth decay or past restorations:
A history of fillings, crowns, or dental decay may require more regular reviews. This helps detect changes that may affect existing dental restorations or highlight areas needing attention. - Age and life stage:
Children, teenagers, and older adults may have changing oral health needs. Younger patients may be monitored for growth and development, while older adults may face age-related dental concerns. - Lifestyle factors:
Habits like smoking, alcohol intake, and certain diets may increase the risk of dental issues. More frequent reviews may be suggested based on these risk factors. - Medical conditions:
Health conditions like diabetes can affect the mouth and gums. A tailored visit schedule may be recommended to help monitor oral health alongside your overall medical care.
How can I make an appointment?
Making a dental appointment online is straightforward and can be done in just a few steps. You can choose a suitable time and provide your details securely through the booking platform.
- Visit the website:
Go to the online booking page, where you’ll find a calendar showing current appointment availability. This includes general consultations and other appointment types. - Select the appointment type:
Choose the option that reflects your needs, such as a general examination, exam and clean, or consultation to discuss a specific concern. - Choose a provider:
Select your preferred dentist or provider from the available list. - Choose a suitable time:
Browse the available dates and times and select one that fits your schedule. You can view multiple options to find a convenient time for you. - Enter your contact information:
Add your name, phone number, and other required details. This information helps the team prepare for your visit and confirm your booking. - Submit your booking request:
Review your details and confirm the appointment. You will receive follow-up communication from the clinic to confirm or adjust your booking as needed.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment helps establish a clear understanding of your oral health. The visit usually involves a discussion of your medical history, an examination, and, if required, diagnostic tests like X-rays.
- Welcome and registration:
On arrival, staff will greet you and confirm your details. You may be asked to complete forms about your medical history and share any current dental concerns. - Oral health assessment:
A dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. This may include checking existing restorations and screening for issues like tooth decay or gum disease. - X-rays (if needed):
Diagnostic imaging may be recommended to provide a more detailed view of your teeth and jaws. This can help identify changes not visible during a visual examination. - Discussion of findings:
Your dentist will explain the results of the examination and may outline potential options for care. This discussion provides an opportunity to ask questions about your oral health. - Treatment plan (if recommended):
Where further care is suggested, your dentist can prepare a written treatment plan. This document outlines proposed procedures and costs, giving you time to consider your options.
How can I improve my oral hygiene at home?
Maintaining oral hygiene at home plays an important role in promoting dental health. While advice will vary depending on individual needs, these general habits may be helpful:
- Brushing twice daily:
Brushing in the morning and before bed with fluoride toothpaste may help reduce plaque build-up. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and replace it every few months. - Cleaning between teeth:
Flossing or using interdental brushes once a day can assist in cleaning areas a toothbrush may not reach, helping reduce plaque around teeth and along the gumline. - Limiting sugary foods and drinks:
Reducing intake of sugary foods and drinks may lower the risk of tooth decay. Choosing water more often than sweetened beverages is generally recommended for oral health. - Staying hydrated:
Drinking water regularly can help keep your mouth moist and may assist with washing away food particles. Saliva also plays a role in protecting teeth and gums. - Scheduling dental check-ups:
Regular reviews give your dentist an opportunity to examine your oral health and provide advice based on your circumstances. The frequency of visits depends on your individual needs.
Do you accept new patients and walk-ins?
Yes, new patients are welcome at the clinic. Walk-in appointments may be accommodated depending on availability on the day. To help manage waiting times, we recommend calling ahead before arriving.
If you have an urgent concern, please contact the clinic to discuss possible appointment times. Availability may vary depending on the day and clinical schedule. The reception team can advise you on the next suitable appointment.
What measures do you take for patient comfort?
We recognise that some patients may feel nervous about dental visits. Comfort measures are discussed based on individual needs and clinical assessment. Here are some approaches that may be offered:
- Welcoming environment:
The clinic setting is designed to provide a clean and professional environment for patient care. - Attentive staff:
Team members aim to listen carefully, answer questions, and provide information before procedures so you know what to expect. - Sedation options:
For patients experiencing dental anxiety, sedation may be discussed if considered clinically appropriate following a health and medical review. - Personalised communication:
Your dentist can adjust the way information is presented, allowing time for questions and discussion during your visit. - Use of modern equipment:
Diagnostic and treatment tools may help support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
