Referrals for Dentists

Writing to the Practice
Calling us on (01638) 741350
On receiving a referral, we will contact the patient to arrange an appointment for a short consultation. The consultation allows us to meet with the patient and fully assess their needs. We will then discuss treatment and devise a treatment plan specific to them. The consultation also gives the patient time to ask questions and, if they wish, discuss the intricacies of their treatment further.
The cost of the consultation if £45 but the dentist may if necessary, need to take an x-ray in order to assess the tooth or teeth further (please see 'Our Fees' for more information) If you can provide any recent x-rays this will obviously reduce the patient fee.
Following assessment, we will provide a written treatment plan detailing the number of appointments needed and the costs involved. Patients can then either make an appointment to continue with treatment or take time to consider their options further.
Following treatment, we will return the patient back to the care of their regular general dental practitioner, with a written report detailing the procedure carried out.
