Dental Services and Your Options As a Patient
Your Dental Practice
Most dental practices offer a full range of dental care including bridges, crowns, dentures, cosmetic work, tooth whitening and hygienist facilities.
Dental practices have the belief that prevention is better than cure and as such, emphasise prevention and preventive treatment to minimise the amount of dental treatment that may be needed in the future.
They are there to make your dental experience as easy and comfortable as possible and we welcome any new NHS or Private patients.
Regular Dental Care Programmes
Most dental practices will offer you an oral examination using intraoral cameras and low dose digital radiography with time to fully discuss your treatment options. If you are in need of treatment that cannot be covered by a general London dentist (NHS as well), they should refer you to another dental specialist such as an orthodontist or cosmetic dentist. More.

Emergency Treatment
As a registered patient of your local practice, you will be entitled to emergency advice from one of your dentists. If an emergency occurs during normal opening hours, it is advised that you telephone the practice as soon as possible, or alternatively try to find another emergency dentist.
You will be asked about the nature of the problem. (This is to help reception staff to make the most appropriate appointment for you). If the emergency occurs outside normal clinic times they should provide you with a number which will put you in touch with the dentist on call.
