WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST VISIT

Your first visit is about more than just a check-up — it’s about building trust. Whether you’re here for a specific concern or just starting your dental care journey with us, we’re here to get to know you, understand your needs and make sure you feel confident moving forward.

• Personal consultation

During your initial consultation, we’ll sit down with you to discuss any concerns or specific goals you have for your dental care. Share your medical history, ask questions and let us know what you’re hoping to achieve from your desired treatment.

• Comprehensive examination

Our dentists will carry out a detailed examination to assess your overall oral health. This includes checking your teeth, gums and jaw for any signs of issues that may require attention. We’ll also look at your bite and the condition of any existing dental work.

• X-rays (if needed)

In some cases, X-rays may be necessary to get a clearer picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. This helps us identify any underlying issues, such as cavities, impacted teeth or bone loss, that may not be visible during a standard exam.

• Treatment plan

Once your examination is complete, we’ll provide a personalised treatment plan based on your needs. This plan outlines recommended treatments, the expected timeline and any risks involved, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the next steps in your dental care.

YOUR COMFORT COMES FIRST

Feeling comfortable during your appointment shouldn’t be a luxury — it’s the way dental care should be. From the moment you arrive, we focus on creating a space where you feel relaxed and supported every step of the way.

• Gentle techniques

Our dentists use gentle techniques to minimise discomfort during treatments. We take our time to ensure procedures are carried out carefully, reducing any unnecessary pressure or irritation.

• Local anaesthesia options

For more complex procedures, we offer a range of local anaesthetic options to help numb the area and reduce discomfort. Our team carefully administers the anaesthesia and monitors you throughout the procedure to ensure it works effectively.

• Sedation options

For patients who feel anxious or need additional support during their procedure, we provide sedation solutions such as nitrous oxide (happy gas) and IV sedation to help keep you at ease. Our team will discuss the best approach for your needs.

• A calm and relaxing environment

We’ve designed our clinic to feel welcoming and calming from the moment you walk in. Our team is trained to create a supportive atmosphere where patients of all ages can feel comfortable and cared for.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFE AND HYGIENIC DENTAL CARE

We believe great care starts with a clean, safe space. That’s why we follow strict hygiene protocols and industry best practices to deliver treatment in an environment that’s both welcoming and sanitary.

• Strict sterilisation protocols

All tools and equipment used during treatments are thoroughly sterilised before each use. We follow guidelines set by regulatory bodies to ensure our clinic meets the highest hygiene standards.

• Disposable materials

Where possible, we use single-use disposable materials to minimise the risk of cross-contamination. Items such as gloves, masks and protective covers are replaced after each patient to maintain a safe environment.

• Infection control measures

Our team follows strict infection control procedures, including regular cleaning of all surfaces, treatment rooms and common areas. We also screen patients and staff to ensure that anyone showing signs of illness reschedules their appointment.

• Ongoing training and audits

Our staff regularly undergo training to stay up to date with the latest safety guidelines and protocols. We also perform regular audits to ensure our practices remain compliant and effective.
