Great Haywood Dental Practice

New Patients Welcomed 

New patients are welcome at our practice. Please don't worry if you haven't seen a dentist in a while, you won't be told off! We totally understand that there are lots of reasons why people don't get round to visiting their dentist as often as they might have intended to, even more so these days as "life" gets in the way; it really doesn't make you a bad person! If you feel happier bringing a friend with you that's fine too.

We are currently accepting adult and child ( under 18 ) patients on a private basis . A copy of our private schedule of fees for regular patients is listed on the website along with information on the dental payment plans we offer. 

• Private treatment is for adults only
• NHS treatment for children only

Adults

An initial consultation for a new patient takes around 30 minutes, this includes a full medical history check, an internal and external soft tissue examination to include Oral Cancer screening; A periodontal assessment; full dental charting and Intra Oral images if necessary.  It will also include any x-rays if required. After checking you over thoroughly we will discuss any concerns you may have regarding your dental appearance or past dental care.  If there is any need to provide dental treatment a fully detailed plan will be discussed and provided.   On occasions where there are many or complex issues to assess and address we may plan to see you again, to enable further planning and to give you time to consider your options, before a plan is finalised. We wil sometimes send you a short summary of your options by video so that you can watch and consider them at your leisure in the compfort of your own home, and if you wish to share/discuss your options with a partner or family member. 

Children

All children are provided with dental assessment, an oral hygiene check, caries risk assessment and tooth brushing/homecare advice.  Diet advice is provided and fluoride applications carried out if necessary.  For our younger patients it is more informal, with a ride in the chair only if they are up for it, and a sticker, along with a goody bag which also contains some helpful information for parents on things to consider along with best practices for your childs dental health and development.
