We start with a conversation, not a drill. Your clinician takes the time to understand your history and what matters to you, then carries out a comprehensive exam of your teeth, gums, jaw and bite. You leave with a clear picture of your oral health and a plan you have agreed to.
Clarity and comfort
from your very first visit When you visit, it’s all about you.
A chance to feel comfortable, understand your oral health, and move forward with clarity. If something hasn’t felt quite right, this is where we can help.
You choose your care and your pace. We guide, you decide.

FAQs
A few things people ask before their first visit
The Diag is a face-to-face conversation about the results of your exam, with no dental chair in sight. We walk through what we found, answer your questions and lay out every option, including doing nothing for now. We guide, you decide.
You are in good company, and there is no judgement here. Tell us when you book and we will allow extra time, explain each step before it happens, and stop whenever you need a break. For anxious patients we can also talk through sedation options.
Usually not. Your first visit is about understanding your oral health and agreeing a plan. If something is urgent or painful we will deal with it straight away, but nothing else begins until you have said yes.
Your first visit is a set fee that covers the examination, any necessary x-rays and The Diag. Before any further treatment starts you will get a written plan with costs, so you know exactly what is involved. We also offer flexible payment options.
Yes. We see adults, teenagers and children, and we are happy to book family appointments back to back so you only make one trip. Children are welcome in the room with you.
