Appointments

Please note that from 1 April 2006 new restrictions for NHS appointments will apply.  This will affect the times in which NHS appointments can be booked and the payment of fees.  Full details can be viewed by clicking here.

Our surgery opening times are:

Monday - Friday
8:00am - 1:00pm
2:00pm - 5:30pm

If you are unable to keep an appointment please call the Reception as soon as possible.  A cancellation fee will be charged if we are unable to fill an appointment and less than 24 hours notice has been given.  A charge will be made for failed appointments.

Following examination, you will be provided with a printed estimate of your treatment plan.  Normally, the Receptionist will be able to answer any queries you may have.  Your treatment plan (and charges) may change at any time during treatment - for example if a root canal treatment becomes necessary.  We will try to keep you informed at each appointment.

Payment of fees may be made in advance or at each appointment.  Payment must be appropriate to the cost of treatment provided.

Exemptions
Exempt patients will be required to provide evidence of your exemption e.g. Maternity Certificate, Income Support or Job Seekers book, etc.  Exemptions do not cover private items of treatment or failed appointment/late cancellation fees.

Emergencies
Emergency appointments are normally available the same day*.  Please phone the practice as early as possible in the day.  Out of hours emergency cover is provided by the 'rota' dentist on 07699 876110.
* Please note that from 1 April 2006 emergency appointments will only be available on week days.

For your convenience, most major credit/debit cards are accepted without surcharge,
as well as cash and cheques (with a valid cheque guarantee card).
